The End of Innovation?
Simone writes: "2001 has been a bad year not just for dot-coms but also for people interested in preserving the public's right to fair use of copyright materials. From the shutdown of Napster and the DeCSS case to the prosecution of Dmitry Sklyarov, federal prosecutors and U.S. courts have acted in support of copyright interests and against the public's ability to use technology to secure fair-use rights. OpenP2P.com editor Richard Koman talks about these turns of events with Lawrence Lessig." Not particularly coincidentally, Lessig has a new book coming out on this very topic.
What's up wit a chicken carcass dangling between Jeb's nuts?

Hahahahaha, get it?

Personally.. i find it hard to believe the gun manufactures can't be sued for wrongfull deaths from a WEAPON DESIGNED TO KILL.
BUT The cigarette industry is being sued up the ass because someoen CHOSE TO SMOKE and got cancer PROBABLY because they drank too much and worked in a manufacturing environment around chemicals all day as well.
Most people don't choose to die behind a gun, everyone who popped a cig in there mouth CHOSE to smoke and any DUMBASS who grew up with a brain can figure SMOKE is bad for you. You don't stand over a fire and breath in that smoke.
By golly though were taught guns and firearms are fun and protective and for hunting..
Nobody told me cigarettes were for fun, protectice and for hunting and they sure as hell won't kill anyone else.
enough of that rant.. npr was pissing me off this morning with the dude who's winning 3billion because he got cancer... put the ass out of his misery with a freaking legal gun
Temnaja nochj,
Toljko puli svistjat po stepi,
Toljko veter gudit v provodax.
Tusklo zvezdy mercajut.
V temnuju nochj
Ty ljubimaja znaju ne spishj,
I u detskoj krovatki tajkom
Ty slezu utirajeshj.
Kak ja ljublju
Glubinu tvoix laskovyx glaz,
Kak ja xochu
K nim prizhatsja sejchas gubami...
Temnaja nochj
Razdeljajet ljubimaja nas
I trevozhnaja, chernaja stepj
Prolegla mezhdu nami.
Verju v tebja,
V doroguju podrugu moju,
Eta vera ot puli menja temnoj noch'ju xranila.
Radostno mne,
Ja spokojen v smerteljnom boju,
Znaju, vstretishj s ljubov'ju menja,
Cto b so mnoj ne sluchilosj.
Smertj ne strashna,
S nej ne raz my vstrechalisj v stepi.
Vot i teperj nado mnoju ona kruzhitsja...
Ty menja zhdeshj,
I u detskoj krovatki ne spishj,
I poetomu znaju ja
So mnoj nichego ne sluchitsja.
P.S. Sorry the formatting is a little screwy -- I
don't know how to render the rhythmic structure properly.

Then rip it to mp3 yourself, for chrissakes! It's ridiculous to assume that Napster would have to be tolerated when it's somewhat possible that someone might go ahead and use it for legitimate use. You'll shit yourself telling everyone how you only used Napster legally--but you'd never have allowed yourself to be monitored to see if it was true. Face it, you're in the mega-minority. Big deal if copyright infringement isn't stealing. If you're not paying for the data, then you shouldn't have it. Plain and simple.
