The u2 thing? dont think it was settled in court. they made a lot of noise about it, but its still banned (although downloadable at www.negativland.com).

Its your public key. So attackers can snoop on mail addressed TO you, not from you.
Yeah, i can see it now.
`Lot 13 - bunch of satellites forming part of communications network. Genuine reason for sale - its shit.`
Guess people who are a long way from civilization (and outside cellphone coverage areas) are there for a reason.

Sony wouldnt let developers put protection on their games to detect mod chips...bizarre.
Just be thankful it wasnt `super` or `mega` or whatever... :)
Its a bit confusing calling that stuff `music`. Is there a better term for the stuff the `music industry` produces so i dont get confused?
