Should freedb's Data Be Public Domain?
Horar asks: "There's been a lot of recent fuss over freedb. My position is that freedb was just not free enough, and I would like to find a way to bring all the data into the public domain, just as MusicBrainz has done with much of their data. I had not thought that this would be possible until I received advice from various parties suggesting that it was. So now I ask Slashdot if this is true? Can the freedb data legally be brought into the public domain at this time, and if so how? Most importantly, would it be 'The Right Thing To Do'?"

Good idea: Asking Slashdot for advice. Bad Idea: Following that advice.

Worse Idea: Having subpoenas served to you in bed.
Yeah. There was a guy who used to hang out on rec.aviation.military that wrote just like you. We couldn't understand him either.
Are you sure? That spelling error had to come from somewhere.
IANAL, but I think that'll get you sued for slander. Or was it libel. I always get the two confused.
Today is red jello day - all workers must eat all of their red jello. Failure to comply will result in five demerits.
Hey, if you're going to get served a subpoena, it might as well be in bed.
At least then you don't have to go very far when you feel like just going back to sleep...
