What happens when someone passes away, does their mutli-thousand dollar music collection somehow become magically worthless?
I always thought that it would be instructive for someone to stand in front of congress, hold up an MP3 player or phone and say, "There are 30,000 songs on this device. The Recording Industry insists that every one of those songs is worth at least a dollar. I have a great deal here for some lucky congressperson today - who wants to buy $30,000 worth of music for just five hunnert dollah?
Actually, ReDigi is quite proud of their "forensic" software which authenticates tracks and rejects ones that are ripped.
From the ARS article:
"ReDigi says that it does this via its "forensic Verification Engine," which the service says analyzes each upload to make sure it is a legally acquired track—songs ripped from CDs are excluded. "
In other words, ReDigi is bending over backwards to satisfy the RIAA, but of course, it's not enough.
Gee, wouldn't it be terrible if someone were to start hacking into bureaucrat's computers, download copyrighted material, which resulted in those same bureaucrats getting kicked off the internet?
Unfortunately, I don't know how to wrap up a Greasemonkey script for distribution.
If you are running Greasemonkey however, and you have enabled the editor in about:config, you can cut and paste the snippets above to install the script.
Choose "Greasemonkey" from the "Tools" menu in FF and then select "New User Script"
Give it a "Name" and use "http://*.google.com/*" as the Namespace, ignore the "Includes" and "Excludes" and you should get an editor window you can paste the snippet into.
The black navigation bar in place right now is also part of the Google +Project. // ==UserScript== // @name HideTopBar // @namespace http://.google.com/* // @description Gets rid of annoying black bar // ==/UserScript==
That probably is much better - I don't have a "mobile device" so I have no experience streaming MP3s to one. I just assumed you should be able to get a terminal session on your device so you could forward a port.
I mean, what's the point of having a mobile device if you can't get to a command line with it?

It'd be 99.999% off!
I'll make you a special deal!
(promise you won't tell the RIAA)

"Do I have any takers?"
The hypocrisy is breathtaking, ain't it?
For purposes of RIAA propaganda, making a copy of a song you bought is "stealing", just like physical property.
But for their purpose of destroying the second-hand market, you never really owned the physical property in the first place, so you can't sell it.
Like reselling a physical CD after ripping it...

They're still stinging over the Lori Drew slapdown.
So how long do we have to wait before we get to see a battle between HyQ and Big Dog?
Curses!
Now how am going to get to telnet so I can get back into my Sun workstation so I can reset the X server?
Some 50 percent by weight of the 787 airframe is lightweight carbon-fibre composites that could, Boeing says, help reduce fuel costs by 20 percent.
"Why, this thing is so dang light, I could prolly fly it with the engines off. I think I'll try..."

Will undercover policing be necessary when the government tracks your every move and monitors all communications?
Not to mention the amount spent on lobbyists and politicians to NOT fix the problem.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I should have read further, but didn't have the time.
I thought Google was committed to keeping Android "open".
Where's the sense in offering an open platform and then sending out cease-and-desist letters to people who modify it?
A car AND a dirty bomb, pre-assembled!

Completely hiding the Google bar is not the best idea: You can't log out, you can't navigate to Gmail...
You can if you're even marginally adept at the whole computer thing - that's why I consider the Black Bar an annoyance.
I can find the Google stuff when I need it - I don't need it in my face all the dang time.
All snark aside, your suggestions offer yet another choice for people.
If I had more time, I'd make a button you could put in the menu bar of Firefox to toggle the Google Bar - heck, there's probably one already.

If I ever find myself in the possession of a "mobile device" I will look into Subsonic. Thanks for the recommendation!
