Apple responded by creating software that enables you to set a maximum volume level for newer iPod models, including the Video iPod and the iPod Nano. Read more about it here: Apple Releases Software to Set iPod Volume
Aha. Thats like sueing a monitor company for their screen giving you a head ache because you have been staring at it too long.
