  1. pity the repos on Hi-Tech Repo Man · · Score: 1
    Through most of the 1990s, much of the repo industry struggled because of tighter bank-lending practices and recession-stung consumers who were careful not to overextend themselves.

    At which point they had to turn on each other and snatch each other's cars.

  2. Gnu Flamer on Ask Metallica About Napster · · Score: 1

    Do you believe that copyright laws infringe, in any way, upon
    "freedom of speech" (the principle, not necessarily it's embodiment
    in the 1st ammendment)?

    A few people, including me, view copyright as a welfare system where
    society agrees to certain restrictions in-order to aid the progress of
    art and science. For example, even though I have other people's music
    "inside my head" I can't record it and distribute it without the
    artist's permission.

    If it is a type of welfare, don't you think there should be a cut off
    point (like 80 million dollars :P ), or am I just some crazy communist
    right-wing conservative nut job for even making this type of assumption
    about copyright?

    NEW STAR WARS THEME COMPOSED ON THE TOILET

    Holy Planet Tatooine! Film composer JOHN WILLIAMS wrote portions of the
    soundtrack for the new STAR WARS prequel EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE on
    the toilet, according to wire reports out of England.

    The celebrated music man is quoted on the WENN wire late Tuesday night: "I
    remember writing ANAKIN'S THEME. I was sitting on the toilet, watching
    GENERAL HOSPITAL, when all of a sudden the water plopped and brought
    together a syncopated harmony that I found to be perfect for the theme of
    the boy who will one day become DARTH VADER."

  5. Copyright yourself for fun and profit. on NSI sells registrant info. Again. · · Score: 1

    You copyright things that you create.

    If you did it with things like fingerprints,
    sex, and race your parents could sue the fuck
    out of you. :P
