Some lawyer's filed a class action against Apple:
Apple Computer?s popular iPod music player was facing a new legal threat after an aggrieved customer filed a class action complaint claiming the comany did not adequately warn customers about the potential for damaging hearing loss from playing its popular music player at full volume. A complaint filed with a California court this week alleged that Apple?s music players were ?inherently defective in design? and ?not adorned with adequate warnings regarding the likelihood of hearing loss?.
My take? If you're too dumb to realize that playing really loud music through tiny buds stuck deep in your ear canal isn't a good idea, there's not a lot the legal system can or should do to help you. Except maybe require you to live in a bubble somewhere. BTW, if you fall into this category, you should also avoid holding cups of hot coffee between your thighs.
