The Diamond Rio was amazing because it was seen by IT companies and the record labels as an illegal product. It spawned a lawsuit "Recording Industry Ass'n of America v. Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc.". Without DMM winning this lawsuit (against all odds), there would be no MP3 players worldwide, there would be no iPod, there would be no iPhone, there would be no Apple as we know it today.
