Book Reviews of CD and DVD Recording for Dummies, Second Edition

Book Review: How Not to Deal with Controversy
Summary: 1 Stars

True, there are many controversies raging about copying DVDs and copyrights. I suspect we are in a transition zone with all this and "the industry" will figure out how to help people love and cherish their DVDs rather than simply calling everyone a pirate. Having said that, I can also understand why an author of such a book wouldn't want to "say too much" about this controversy, especially if he his looking over his shoulder at "the lawyers." I was trying to think of an analogy to express my disapointment in this book (and this isn't a good one) but it goes like this: You want to go to Israel and you buy a book on "Israel for Dummies" and you search for something, anything on the controversy of the wall they are building. But instead of finding a discussion of the controversy you find a few off-handed quips about "There's a wall going up and it's causing some controversy. 'Nuff said."
"'Nuff said"? Hel-lo? Were dummies out here, that's why we bought the dumb book!
There might be some useful information for some people, but I was sorely disappointed.
