    "DrinkorDie" isn't exactly a mouthful. There's no need to abbreviate it with "DoD", which most Slashdotters will at first glance think means "Department of Defense".

    Go into a music store with a rifle. Shoot everybody in there. Grab all the music you can carry and hide it. After two years you can enjoy the albums after you have done your time. Oh and you have money from selling them on the black market. As they aren't copies, nobody realy gives a damn.
