At this point in time, it is perfectly legal to purchase CDs and make compilations from them for home use. I have bought a CD along with the right to *listen* to it, whether it is played from the original, or from a personal copy. I have the legal right to use it as *I* wish, as long as I don't break copyright. But in this case, even though I have purchased both the physical disk AND the right to play it, they get the ability to stipulate *how* I must and must not use it? How does this make sense?
Great! A tune to accompany the famous BSOD! Maybe the billboards could have great, big speakers attached to them.... I would've prefered "Daisy daisy..." anyway...

That might stimulate a few lax sysadmins when bosses see their boxen showing jolly rogers..
