    [tommorow's news]

    A hacker known only as VA Software has been arrested today for attempting to distribute an illegal digital copy of Hilary Rosen's recent speech. The RIAA informed the FBI of the breach of copyright under the DMCA and immediately moved to arrest VA Software.

    In other news, the hacker web site known as Slashdot was shut down and one of it's members was arrested for an attack on riaa.com. The attack has been described by sources within Slashdot's membership as the "Slashdot effect."

    From what I can surmise, the speech dealt both with her love of money and her desire to roll around naked in a pile of money.

    Glad to see that story submissions are always un-biased on /. </sarcasm>

    Are you sure we're talking about the right Bill and Hillary in the context of a 'wad'?

    I don't think Bill will be shooting a wad at Hillary anytime soon.

    Before copyrights, we got Mozart and Bach. After copyrights, we get Britney Spears and N'Sync. I think the argument that copyrights are necessary in order to create great music are a little thin...
