either claim warranty service or purchase more Empegs

I don't think could get warranty service. I believe they would notice a different serial number. Besides, why would they do that? There aren't any empegs old enough to need an unexpired warranty.

And what do you mean "purchase more empegs"? It's not like empeg will charge you just because they recieved a serial number from a previous purchase you made. They don't ask for information like that.

I really don't see what the big deal is with registering your player. Then again, I must live in much safer areas than most of you. None of my friends or I have ever had a stereo stolen. Or their car broken into.
