Slashdot Mirror
The Grammy In Mathematics
An anonymous reader writes "A mathematician will receive a Grammy award for restoring the only known recording of a live Woody Guthrie performance — a bootleg someone made in 1949 using a wire recorder. Guthrie's daughter, who had never heard her father perform in front of a live audience, oversaw the restoration. The article links very cool before and after clips."
Congress declares that audio restoration is in fact nothing more than DRM circumvention and will henceforth be illegal under the NORESTORE act.

Also: RIAA patents bad recording quality as a copy protection measure.
(couldn't be closer to the truth for your average CD...)
someone else take the torch from here
Can we have a "-1, Trite" mod? DMCA, RIAA, Gitmo, and airport security? All this guy needs is a reference to Microsoft, and we have Slashdot Bingo!
Well perhaps OP knew that you yourself would provide the Microsoft reference.
Oh - BINGO!
Seven puppies were harmed during the making of this post.
Anybody can bash Microsoft, that's why it's the "Free" space at the center of Slashdot Bingo.
Take it to the limit, everybody to the limit, come on, everybody fhqwhgads.
