This is one of the few articles where the troll responses made more sense than the real ones.
1. It's art. Just enjoy it.
2. Not everything needs a higher meaning
My opinion is that it is the drain that the world is circling around, but that is just MY opinion.
You happy people (non-tech) will put us in jail for attempting to help you use technology in a secure way, because you hate and fear us so much.
And how is this different from when they beat the crap out of us in high school? The situation may be new, but the people are the same (except that we run the economy now. BWAHAHAHAA).
ask yourself: why are they looping portions of the real songs? Perhaps because that's enough to still be protected by copyright and be accurately referenced by the title
Actually, doesn't using real songs also work against them? If they are putting the title of a copyrighted song, and a small portion of that into the public domain on a P2P network, wouldn't that make enforcment of copyright on that 2 seconds void. If a portion of this body of work (song) and title are launched out by the owner of the work, they are starting down a dubious trail.
2600,
Your fight on this case has brought more attention to the issue than any publicity campaign could have ever raised! You more than caried your share of the load for us all. Someone will pick up the fight from here, because our rights are still there, no matter what stupid act, or congress idiot thinks about taking them away, and calling it a Patriot Act. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS.
PS: The only Patriot Act that should have passed was the one in the Superbowl! Go Pats, do it again!
Thanks for the recommendations - NOT

This is not america and thankfully censorship here is not all present, you also need to be aware we do not have a constitution like the US (we do have one but not like yours) and no free speach amendments.
John Ashcroft and Fritz Hollings would like to get a copy of that from you. They thought it would be a nice template for the changes they have been making.
Not skim it, I mean read it. I was going to pick it up for my vacation coming up, and really want to know if it's worth the effort, or do you end up with that odd "cold fusion" feeling of being fed a bucket of horse crap?
Spackler likes the FBI. Spackler is a good guy. Spackler thinks you are doing a great job. Spackler will be happy to give up all the rights his forefathers fought for so you can get off finding out if I masturbate or not. Spackler is your friend. Don't investigate Spackler.
2 days later: Sir, here is that report on that subversive Slashdot thing. Everyone but Spackler is a commie.
Keep in mind the hundreds of priests now being wrongfully prosecuted due to a stererotype that is spreading like wildfire. Bear in mind how it is ruining their lives. blah blah blah...
These "hundreds of priests" could have kept a good name if they had just policed themselves a little better. Because the Catholic church is not a democracy, they feel they are above laws that govern normal men. They give figures like it is only 1.5% of the priests doing this (figure from Meet The Press last Sunday), but that still means that it is 600 priests guilty of this. Assholes like Cardinal Law, who helped cover this up, and would just move them to a new place to continue molesting kids, deserve a nice span of time in jail as accessories to these crimes. The image of Cardinal Law being buttfucked by some skinhead in the shower would be a fitting punishment.
I've been working with nanotech for 2 years now. I don't understand people like this, suspecting the government of quieting our technology. We are allowed to freely... KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"One of the very unfortunate things about this is that by allowing consumers to casually enter into what might be the most legally important transaction of their life, consumers are not benefitted," Lapatin said.
IANAL - It seems to me that there was NOTHING casual about this transaction. When you buy a house, there is a large group of steps you go through before the P+S. There is however, an agreement that happens before that signing. This seller clearly made that agreement, and asked for the paperwork, and deposit check. He had already agreed to sell at that price. I'm not sure if this is a case of legally binding emails, as much as how much of a scumbag the seller is.
Fortunately, seeing as the person could afford a house for almost (pinky raises to cheek) 2 MILLION dollars, he could afford a good lawyer to make more fodder for us!
Did you get a load of some of the comments at the bottom of that page? You thought WE were guilty of not reading articles. It was on the same fscking PAGE, and these idiots were reposting the full text of the article, and then asking questions THAT WAS IN the crap they had pasted from higher up in the page! After this, I swear I will never tell another troll to read the article first!

"To access the Google Web APIs service, you must create a Google Account and obtain a license key"
Gee, and now Google will log every search from your automated application.
