Oh yeah, no I remember that, the whole being able to make your own CDs and DVDs. That was, when I had kids, one of the things that I did the most was I made sure I had actually purchased security software so that I could make copies of all the DVDs that I had purchased so that I could have the DVDs in the car and or let the kids use them and not worry about them damaging them or scratching them because if they scratched or damaged them I would just burn a new copy and I'd be good to go. I do think that the CD burning also, in my opinion, I really think it hurt a lot of the artists as well because I could borrow a friend's CD, make a copy of it and the artist will get anything out of that. So not only does it make it easier for the artist to share their information, it also made it easier for the listener to teach the artist which I think was a very double-edged sword. And I mean yeah, that's been around for decades. I mean even with cassette tapes, you know, if I can't be said that, it was these tapes that were a piece of, you know, you could record on any tape you wanted to and I remember many times of waiting for that song to play on the radio and hitting the record button right when it came on so that I could record it. So yeah, I mean it's unfortunately, pirating the music has been around for decades and same with movies and DVDs and all that stuff. And even, you know, I want to say we were walking down Seattle and there was a guy that was handing out USB drives with his music on it because everything is digital nowadays. Like Paul is dealing with not having an optical drive on his machine. It's very few, I mean I've got a stack of DVDs and I don't have a DVD player anymore besides a mic and a computer. And I mean again, everything is over streaming. MP3 digital music became such a way to share music within yourself that you didn't have to carry around this book with a thousand CDs in it. I could just have my MP3 player with all my music on it. So it's, you know, it's one of those frustrating things that has kind of evolved we deal with. And you know, hey but look, who's to say that CDs tapes won't make a comeback as well? Well, tapes are making a comeback but with the streaming they have the ability to edit those too and they do that. Oh, yeah they do. They very much do. Okay, that's less blabbering. Next on the list we've got Dean. What do you got to say about all this Dean? On Fox.
