Thereâ(TM)s absolutely no need for any of this unless youâ(TM)re trying to be at commercial scale. Believe me, it most definitely does grow like a weed and is easy enough to tend unless you have investors and/or shareholders to concern yourself with.

LOL! Thanks for flagging creimer!

Here is some food for thoughts for creimer (Going for the one lyrics). Maybe that will help him perfect his English a bit:

The lyrics even mention "mountainous masses" :)

The J with the ash on the end cannot infringe on Paul Simon because clearly no-one could smoke a J

Sting saw this coming
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Nope, it is a story about America. Praise asphalt and gasoline!

By the way, David Bowie says god is an American so you better get used to it:

Is he though? To me, the term "porn magazines" sounds like someone that's too young to know that the Beastie Boys fought (and possibly died) for our right to call them "porno mags."

Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (Busted!)

-Beastie Boys 1986 hit Fight for Your Right (lyrics from some random lyrics website, but they match my recollection).

Nobody should be surprised by this kind of shit any more; the only surprise is that there seems to be no sign of the bloody revolution that usually follows such ongoing abuse by the rich and powerful.

A revolution never come with a warning
A revolution never sends you an omen
A revolution just arrived like the morning
Ring the alarm we come to wake up the snoring

I generally agree with you regarding country, but a friend of mine turned me onto Eric Church.

Here's Kill a Word live at Red Rocks by Eric Church (lyrics as well). Great venue, great song, the woman is a little over the top at times (in my opinion).

Yeah, he sings about drinking as well, but he has song good songs, Springsteen is another I like.

And get yourself free http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics...

Why do you think people buy stupid shit like 'hatch-a-mole", a single use toy. Sure they get a stuffed animal afterwards, that will never get played with again... Cut the cord and your kids will instantly stop bugging you about buying stupid shit.

When I read your comment I was immediately reminded of the lyrics to Joe Jackson's song "I'm The Man".

Why would that make you sleepy?

Otis Redding said it best:

He may be weary,
Posters do get weary,
Posting the same shabby dreck --
So if he's weary
Try a little trollingness.

lyrics

This classic song has never been timelier...

Why are you so afraid of putting your email address in your profile? Oh, right, Paranoia strikes deep, Into your life it will creep, It starts when you're always afraid, Step out of line, the men come and take you away.

My email address is in my profile, and people have contacted me that way, no problem. I've also posted my physical address in discussions a few times when people (read: Idiot named Brianna Wu) started whining about "OMG they have my address, they have pictures of where I live", etc. My phone number is also on the net in several places. Big deal ...

You're not so smart if you're overthinking the problem.

Just like a Penguin in Bondage?

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics...

For some reason, this reminded me of a song I once heard.

You make me wanna break the laws of time and space
You make me wanna eat pork
You make me wanna staple bagels to my face
Then remove 'em with a pitchfork

Youtubes
Lyrics (because the man is an insane evil genius, and it's sometimes hard to understand just how those words could fit together...)

And when you kill a man, you're a murderer Kill many, and you're a conqueror Kill them all ... Ooh ... Oh you're a God!

-Dave Mustaine, Megadeth

Part of the lyrics:

"You make a grown man cry"

Another part of the lyrics:

"You make a dead man cum".

You're welcome.

• $30 Billion per year to would end world hunger
• $17 Billion per year currently spent by the US on the Nasa space program
• $4.8 Billion per year currently spent by the US on cancer research

• And the US spends $1000 Billion+ on a plane, designed to kill. Imagine, if you can, a world without war, it's easy if you try.

Yeah...fascinating world really. But it's not how things works.

You don't have to look far in history to see that. before the US became the clear world leader, it was a time of war and conflict almost everywhere in the world. In fact, just in the last decade, with less than 5% of the world population in conflict, we are living during the most peaceful time in history (counter-intuitive, I know).

Maybe, one time, the humanity will change enough so all armies will be dismantled. But, for now, we need hat the US stay the clear leader for a little more longer.

The problem is that you've made a society so awful that you'd lose enough people by suicide in the first year to trigger a societal collapse

No, that's the concern, but it's overblown as none of us is actually that important. We're all replaceable. Only ego leads you to think otherwise. You might be missed, but you're not critical.

Or as I like to put it:

You've got to quit your little charade and join the freak parade
Now that your road has been paved from conception to your grave.
Enormous things to do, others' practices to eschew,
To be better than you is impossible to do,
But the world won't stop without you
No, the world won't stop without you.
Your achievements are unsurpassed, you are highly-ordered mass,
But you can bet your ass your free energy will dissipate.
Two billion years thus far, now mister here you are,
An element in a sea of enthalpic organic compounds.
The world won't stop without you.
The world won't stop without you.
You're only as elegant as your actions let you be
A piece of chaos related phylogenetically
To every living organ system, we're siblings, don't you see?
The earth rotates and will revolve without you constantly.
Two billion years thus far, now mister here you are,
An element in a sea of enthalpic organic compounds.
The world won't stop without you.
No, the world won't stop without you.
I said the world won't stop without you.

You seem to me to be aiming to imply "involuntary" within an arbitrary legal framework where the person who first twiddled some bits together can control what others later do with that set of bits. I'm assuming you are implying that those other people sharing the original pattern further without permission is "involuntary" sharing by the person who first put the pattern together. I guess I can see that perspective on "sharing", even if it is defining "sharing" in a way that emphasizes (using contract law) the preferences of the original creator over the preferences of any current holders of a copy of the bit sequence.

If you have a digital copy of a recent song released under a typical commercial license, it is illegal in the USA to give a copy of that song to someone else (maybe with some fair use exceptions). You have a local copy of something, but the law says you can't share it with those who want or need it based on the license chosen by the author or the current copyright holder. That is the sharing I'm talking about.

What if it was a song like, say, "Desperado" and you were too poor to buy a copy to give to some young guy like, say, Aaron Schwartz about to do something really alienated and foolish? :-( Thankfully there are still other options:
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics...
"And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
[other great parts omitted out of copyright fears]"

It is really a very odd idea though, when you think about it, that some initial distributor of the song (let alone a government-funded research paper) gets to prevent you from copying, modifying, and/or redistributing a pattern of bits stored on hardware in your possession. It seems very undemocratic as it opens up the possibility that on the flimsiest of evidence anyone who claims any sort of copyright on anything can demand an inspection of the contents of any data storage to make sure a crime has not been committed?

In ancient times, someone inspired to write a song might have been seen to have received a transmission from some godly muse. From that perspective, by what right can such a person enter into a contract to restrict the redistribution of that muse's work? Isn't such a restriction imposed by the government an interference with the divine as well as with charitable human society?

I'm not saying I necessarily see it that way myself, but it's an example of how there are all sorts of ways to look at these things. The way that is dominant in the current legal system is the result of past political struggles and is not the only perspective. As is mentioned here:
http://conceptualguerilla.com/...
"Old habits die hard. In fact, we still have a "leisure class". As capitalism has grown so has the wealth and privilege of our leisure class. The old mythologies - gods, the "great chain of being" etc. - are no longer available to justify the existence and perpetuation of our leisure class, something our elites are definitely interested in perpetuating. What was needed was a new "rational" world-view that justified the existence of privileged elites. That rationalization came in the form of a brand new science known as economics, which included a brand new mythology."

Another perspective:
