This is nonsense. With my music CD collection, I make copies of any CDs I want to take in my car and fill up a CD wallet with the copies. The originals sit in their jewel cases in my CD rack in my living room. This way if anything gets scratched, stolen, melted on the dash, etc., I'm only out the cost of CDRs. Why wouldn't someone with a portable DVD player want to use the same method? Why shouldn't she be allowed to? good times, moron Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." --President Thomas Jefferson
