I Have Heard the Future...(DSP Room Acoustics Correction)

<I>Dateline&#151;Chicago, May 30, 9:00pm.</I> Exploding fireworks lit up the sky above the Chicago river as 200 leading high-end designers gathered in the Hotel Intercontinental for <I>Stereophile</I>'s 30th Anniversary banquet.

Is This The Final Elbow?

As <A
HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/100807jammie/">we reported</A> almost a year ago, US District Court Judge Michael Davis awarded record labels $220,000 in damages for Jammie Thomas' having posted digital files to the KaZaa peer-to-peer site.
