Hey ... they are chicken :-)
Okay, joking, i understand the fears of a startup, but maybe ask your lawyers for workarounds ...

Seriously, if you want, you always can dodge those obstacles, now we have two issues beeing uncomfortable because the empeg people shy away from conflicts:

-1- the bootup visual disable thingy
-2- the "do not copy back mp3" issue

I won't go again into all those arguments stated here numerous times, but let me just say this: I would much prefer the 'parents' of my (future) expensive single-sourced toy being chicken to them not being there anymore! I can certainly live with those two inconveniences we flame about, but would really not like Hugo & Co. going out of business and leave my Empeg orphaned.

See, there is even a selfish angle to understanding Hugo's unwillingness to risk unneccesarily...

(I feel my spelling is even worse than usual. 7 am, and coffee has not started working yet... :)

Cheers!
