Record Label Infringes Own Copyright, Site Pulled
AnonCow sends in a peculiar story from TorrentFreak, which describes the plight of a free-download music site that has been summarily evicted from the Internet for violating its own copyright. The problem seems to revolve around the host's insistence that proof of copyright be snail-mailed to them. Kind of difficult when your copyright takes the form of a Creative Commons license that cannot be verified unless its site is up. "The website of an Internet-based record label which offers completely free music downloads has been taken down by its host for copyright infringement, even though it only offers its own music. Quote Unquote Records calls itself 'The First Ever Donation Based Record Label,' but is currently homeless after its host pulled the plug."

You say that, but I've violated my own copyrights several times. I can send you a video for $20, assuming you're over the age of 21.
Copyright fault (Lawyer dumped)

That picture makes the live help look like some sort of phone sex service. I might have to go in and ask them to tell me I'm naughty.

If you can't find your chargers, you can probably buy more at Radio Shack or on the manufacturer's website.
Except now, he can just send a link of his slashdot submission (and corresponding comments) to his ISP, there is no source that's considered more reliable for Techies and for most ISP employees.
Jeez, they ought to put that guy in next year's Loebner Prize contest. If all the human participants were like him, even Eliza could win the gold medal.
