Mr. Sinus is being sued by Best Brains Inc. the owners of the rights to Mystery Science Theatre 3000 because they are using a name/format that is too similar to their own. Here is the story." Evil thought: Apple should include a "three silhouettes yakking on merged soundtrack" mode in iMovie.

    Can we parody people who sue us? It might be fun to get a group together and taunt lawyers in court. It would probably make jury duty more fun, too.

    Now, can we get back to feeling sorry for people that steal music please?

    I know what you mean! My cousin downloaded the mp3s for Metallica's latest album, and now nobody else can listen to it.

    Please thank your cousin on my behalf. The world is a better place because of him.
