TotalRecorder can so something like that, although you need to normalize/clean up the sound afterwards. Might not work for MIDI, though, unless you're using a softsynth.
The problem here is not that he doesn't care, it's that he doesn't know. The RIAA has the power of PR. In fact, by virtue of being the very companies that control the major news organizations, they are PR. They market the CDs as being "copy protected" from the meddlings of "pirates" and "hackers," use acronyms, anything to make themselves look good and hide the hard facts of the matter.
What we need to keep in mind here is that their target audience is some 300 million Americans who, for the most part, know practically nothing about the relevant legal or technical details, and most of whom aren't inclined to learn. They've had a stranglehold on public knowledge for years, one which has gone practically unchallenged simply because prior to the internet, nobody but them had the resources to reach everyone. But now, as the age of independent media dawns, they are using that very stranglehold to destroy us, associating the internet with images of hackers and thieves, cults and criminals in the minds of the public. They know that without an audience to hear us, we are nothing. We whisper in back alleys, while they lead the parade down main street.
Just my 1.2KB. I leave the plotting of their defeat as an excercise for the reader.:)

Ah, an armed protest against the DMCA. Cunning plan. We can simultaneously increase the country's fear of "geeks with guns," and give the corporate media ammunition for a pro-DMCA propaganda campaign denouncing anyone who opposes them as an anarchist gun-nut plotting to destroy the government. Brilliant!
You think that's bad? Up until about 2-3 years ago, all my school had were PS/2s. I'm talking about the Mac-looking ones with no hard drive and a permanently attached monitor. Finally got some Gateways, though, and sold all 'em off for $10 each, including keyboard and software. I could probably get rich reselling it as an antique.:)
Presenting a paper to tell the world how they did it is not permitted under this law.
Not permitted by that law, no. But you seem to have forgotten something...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
They obviously have a right to publish it. The question is, does the RIAA have a right to sue them, and on what grounds?
IANAL, but unless the case winds up in front of our good old buddy, the honorable Judge Lewis "Link Nazi" Kaplan, I think it should be fairly easy to win. Quoth the DMCA:
`(2) PERMISSIBLE ACTS OF ENCRYPTION RESEARCH- Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)(1)(A), it is not a violation of that subsection for a person to circumvent a technological measure as applied to a copy, phonorecord, performance, or display of a published work in the course of an act of good faith encryption research if--
`(A) the person lawfully obtained the encrypted copy, phonorecord, performance, or display of the published work;
`(B) such act is necessary to conduct such encryption research;
`(C) the person made a good faith effort to obtain authorization before the circumvention; and
`(D) such act does not constitute infringement under this title or a violation of applicable law other than this section, including section 1030 of title 18 and those provisions of title 18 amended by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986.
Those that do not want to attend should not be forced to attend. On the other hand, those that do want to attend, reguardless of circumstance, should be allowed to.
I agree wholeheartedly. Nothing about school should be required. If the kid aspires to work at McDonalds for a living, more power to him. If he wants to drop history and take that extra art class, same deal. If he wants to come in from noon to 6, fine. Two classes a day? Hey, if it works for you...
My three biggest gripes about public school: It starts too early, half the required classes are crap, and the admin staff (and some teachers) tend to have a crab up their ass and/or an inflatable skull. And if we complain about something they're doing wrong, nobody ever listens. It's like their motto is The student is never right.
Tolkien was a professor for nordic languages, he made that alphabet.
Actually, the Dwarven runes used in the Hobbit come from actual Anglo-Saxon runes, with the exception of the Y, and one form of P. Other than that, they're almost identical.
Gotta love runes. Always fun to scare the hell out of people who have no idea what you're writing.:)
Yes, however the UN has no real "power" of its own. All of its influence comes from the voluntary cooperation from its member nations. This is unlike ICANN, which has concrete power of an element of world affairs
Actually, that's not true. There's nothing, legally or physically, stopping the ISPs from dropping ICANN's root in favor of ORSC, AlterNIC, or any of the other "unofficial" root servers. Likewise, there's nothing stopping users from switching on an individual basis. The only problem is that your average Joe Sixpack has no idea how, or why, he should switch.
Clearly, this is not a holy number. I predict that tomorrow's headline shall be Catholic Church Denounces DeCSS.
(Lameness filter, filter thyself! It's not an awful long string of letters, it's a number. It's not in all caps, it's a number. A number is a character with an ASCII value in the range of 48 to 57. Capital letters are from 65 to 90. Got it?)
The.com.net.blah is only a source for confusion for newbies, which is an obstacle to their acceptance of the Internet.
What you're proposing is that we change the entire internet to a keyword system. Translation: You're looking for AOL.
A Joe-Sixpack any-half-trained-monkey-can-use-it internet is one of the worst nightmares of geeks everywhere. The harder things are to use, the less chance there is of intelligent discussions being lost in a sea of mindless drivel. If you had to telnet into slashdot and recieve some sort of globally unique message ID every time you posted, there would be very few goatse.cx/All your base/hot grits/etc posts. With things as they are now, you just click the nice shiny button, type "FP!" and off you go.
In either case, this needs to be driven by a large ISP or someone is going to decide to cut the pipes of one of these "renegade TLD" or "non-TLD" sites and end them at that.
You just described AOL again.
Really, the rest of the internet would have no grounds for pulling the plug on an alternate TLD service. Anyone using that network as opposed to any other would be doing so by their own choice, and the alternate provider's TLDs, or lack thereof, would have no effect on the internet as a whole. ICANN's TLDs flow downstream into AOL and the ORSC root, but neither AOL's keywords nor ORSC's alternate TLDs flow upstream into ICANN's A-root registry.
Can't fit the whole credit into the 120-char limit, but I managed to squeeze in the abbreviation, barely, and put a note in my bio. Am I safe from lawsuits now, or should I translate it to Japanese and back?:)
