very very few customers have 40GB of legally-acquired content.
Does iPod play .wav files? If so, then 40GB of legally-acquired content represents only about 80-100 audio CDs. That's not much.
Furthermore, an iPod is a portable USB hard disk (and indeed I use my non-iPod player for carting large files about the place). If a court ever rules that nobody needs as much as 40GB of digital storage for legal purposes, then I will happily call that judge a fuckwit.
This is not to say that the case in question won't be ruled by a fuckwit, merely that when the government becomes sufficiently fuckwitted, we are entitled to start ignoring their dumbass opinions.
