    Default Is there no limit to some people's attempts to make free money?

    Sueing Apple because they make iPods which can play music loudly (remembering that they already come with a big sticker warning of this)...

    Some really unsubtle attempts to get free money.

    From what I've seen of the American legal system, he'll probably win.

    France has a statutory decibel limit? My God if it’s too loud turn the volume down!


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    I used to have a Sony MD player with an amp that had been seriously derated to comply with Euro volume regs. It pissed me off no end, barely loud enough at full volume.

    The older model I used before that, on the other hand, could make your ears bleed if you turned it up enough.

    OMG I have that too. I don't use it anymore, it doesn't give me the rush that the CD player does. It isn't the amp though BKS, it is the MD itself, I know this because my CD player didn't have the problem with the same amps. Although it could be both in the EU.
