Record Industry Wants Royalties for Used CD Sales

cuberat writes "In a continuing effort to maintain their image as evil incarnate, record companies are considering charging used CD retailers a royalty for every CD they resell. The story is in today's San Diego Union-Tribune here. When are these guys going to get a clue?"

    It's astounding; Time is fleeting;
    Madness makes me troll. But listen closely...

    Not for very much longer.

    I've got to keep control.
    I remember doing the troll-warp
    Drinking those moments when
    The mod points would hit me

    And the ban would be calling...

    Let's do the troll-warp again.

    It's just Karma that's left.

    And a bitchslap to the right.

    You bring your trolls in sight.
    But it's the crapflood thrust
    That really drives you insane.

    It's so dreamy, First Postness freed me.
    But you can't see me, at, minus one
    In another dimension, with crapflooding intention,
    A new story, F.P. won!


    With a bit of a mind flip

    You're into the troll slip.

    Your Karma will never be the same.

    You're spaced out on sensation.

    Like you're under sedation.

    Well I was scrolling down the page just a-having a drink
    When a troll of a post gave me an evil wink.
    It shook-a me up, it took me by surprise.
    It was an ASCII art, with the devil's eyes.
    I stared at it and I felt a change.
    Karma meant nothing, never would again.

    I'm informing you in this message that your use of decimal is disturbing to geeks. Why did you choose to use decimal? I'd really like to know. We don't even use decimal for many of our basic needs (time especially). Decimal is clearly for dinosarus. I think it likely that you do not know what radices mean, or else you would be using hexadecimal. Read about hexadecimal at intuitor and repost your comment using hexadecimal. You may use "0x" as a prefix or "h" as a suffix for the numbers. Intelligent people despise decimal--so try to show some intelligence. So do you know what hexadecimal is? Reply to this and prove it, otherwise we will assume that you are stupid. Personalized message:

    Don't use decimal percentages.
