I think the UK rights in a way had effect throughout Europe since we're
one market these days. It sure helped get the plastic crap off the
german online stores at least (or was it the mails from some of us in
this group that did it?).
Good that the digital drummer interview surfaced 'cause then it's no
secret anymore. Dave have been thinking in the line of e-drums again.
But as the hexaheads we are, we can probably assume that it won't be as
cool as it once were. The market is different these days...
