gatesh8r writes "This article off of Janis Ian's site lashes out at the RIAA for "wanting to control everything that the consumer will purchase" and then proposes some mild and thoughtful solutions to the problem. Nice to see an artist write up something like this." This is her follow-up to her earlier piece.

    You seem like a smart, well informed guy. I appreciate your input. Admittedly this is offtopic, but in the past, I immediately wrote off people who use "then" instead of "than" as "stupid" (like CmdrTaco). You're not stupid, so it leads me to wonder about other causes.

    Here in Texas, then and than sound different from each other. (Imagine someone with a Texan accent saying "than") Since you and Taco are both from farther north, I wonder, Do you guys pronounce the words identically? I'm just imagining a Canadian accent saying the two words, and they DO sound the same, but I could be wrong.

    It wouldn't make your grammar correct, but it would help me not to immediately judge people who use the wrong word.
