So, you're saying that you do not backup your work ?

Making backups is one of the first things you learn about when you start using digital media. When you're 17 and you think you are old and wise enough to bring suit to a large corporation you are also old and wise enough to copy your important data.

It's funny how I get modded into the ground for an obvious observation like that, if something is important to you you make sure that you have a copy in case the original gets lost.

* I do not think amazon should have this right *

But the kindle has this facility and you can vote against it by not buying one.

Amazon has lost every bit of respect they ever earned from me because of what the kindle can do, it's a total travesty of everything an e-book should stand for, what's bought stays bought. An e-book should strive to be a BETTER book, not a worse one. Their DRM and books-on-an-elastic band should get them vilified in every medium. Personally I will never order another book from them - and believe me I've been a good customer of theirs.

But losing your homework because you haven't made a copy of your notes is not a ground for a lawsuit. We call that a learning experience. I'm sure everybody on this forum has lost some digital medium or other in the past and learned the hard way that backing up your data is a must.
