"I honestly feel that the decline of music quality and the tiredness of the rock genre after nearly 50 years of three-chord songs has helped to contribute to the alarming rate at which people steal music from online sources."
Damnit! I finally felt that I'd accomplished something after learning a few chords on my new guitar and this guy has to open his mouth.
I know I just got back from the bars and am a bit drunk but when the hell is this episode airing? I can't seem to find a time or date listed anywhere....

Now the cops can give a thumbs-up to the high-speed car chase, a thumbs down to that damn weekly domestic dipute where they never end up pressing charges, and get the season pass to the recurring hold-up that alternates between the Dunkin Donuts and the strip club...
This is what Microsoft has been doing since day 1. It's also part of the reason EA decided NOT to go with Microsoft in creating Live-enabled XBOX games. It'll be interesting to see how EA responds now that Sony has decided to follow this unified service model... at a notably higher price that Microsoft.
There used to be a great site at http://www.lyrics.ch that had pretty much any song lyric you wanted. Eventually, they got sued and went offline for a while. When they came back, they brought back the lyrics but they were only available within an applet that spread the words over a few pages and made it difficult to copy.
At the time, that seemed like an acceptable solution to all. So what's changed?
The long-time stance of the Slashdot crowd has been that if digital music distribution were made available to bands, they'd see more of the revenue from music sales. I was listening to the radio last night and heard the band "Cold" talking about MP3s. Their stance seemed to be that the money earned from CD sales is owed to the record labels for the work they do promoting the music, pushing the concerts (something that apparently generates a lot of revenue for the band), and making sure their songs get played on the radio.
This seemed completely backwards to me. Cold has basically bought into the line that they need the RIAA for promotion, and they're willing to give up their revenue from CD sales in exchange. It was the first time I'd heard a band actually come out and say this.
I think the digital music battle has a long way to go if artists fail to understand that what digital distribution offers is a way to break free from the record labels. I can't believe that so many artists are willing to give up their CD revenue in exchange for promotion and production costs as long as they still get their take of the concert sales.
"I would occasionaly use 5 batteries by sticking a paperclip into one of the slots. The one on the right of the left battery compartment powers the light IIRC. Not putting a battery in there just prevented the light from turning on."
This will end up in the courts. If you think not, check out this new bill approved in NJ. Though this article doesn't give all the details, the new ban prohibits eating, drinking, cel phone use, faxing, and reading while using your car. Information can be found here.

Where's Junis when we need him?
So if this content is just sorta being pushed to us without us knowing, might any future end-user litigation be able to follow suit of this guy?
... If you didn't tell your computer to download that MP3, how can you be found liable?
After all
Comeon ... Didn't you notice on their webpage it says: "We start shipping NOW!" No wait, we start shipping NOW! No wait, NOW! NOW! NOW!
... you're already there."
I guess this is comparable to "wherever you are
Speaking of which ... check that site out. It looks more like ROB the robot on Mars, but it's cool nonetheless...

I'll tell you what happens. After the first 60 minutes, the director's lighting budget runs out.
Just remind me to pay for this by check signed with my disappearing ink...

Nice to see we can always bring things back to a Microsoft complaint. Bravo!
