Besides all of this, there is also a rock group that Chuck D and Professor Griff are in, called "Confrontation Camp" (I'll let you figure that one out for yourself).
As for the song "Swindler's Lust", itself, there is the title, a play on "Schindler's List". Here are some snippets of the lyrics:
Laughin All The Way To The Bank Remember Dem Own The Banks
Control of the financial institutions of the world is one of the most common anti-semitic statements.]
Mo Dollars Mo Cents For The Big Six Another Million Led To Bled Claimin They Innocence
Big Six - the big six record companies
Another Million - his label says that this has something to do with the Million Man March, but that doesn't make any sense, because Chuck D likes Farrakhan, and the million weren't murdered, claiming they were innocent.
The "Big Six" and the "Another Million" seem to be a statement about the supposed Jewish control of the entertainment industry, which he claims is turning black folk into "Bitchez and Niggas". The statement about claiming innocence seems to be Chuck D's approval of the lies rallied against Jewish people in the past, and the rationalization of their murder.
Chuck D has been somewhat silent on the issue, but said: "The truth is the truth. I think ['Swindler's Lust'] is a hell of a title. People gotta check out the song and tell me whether I'm right or wrong."
Yeah, well Chuck D has said these sorts of things himself in songs. See "Swindler's Lust", which I assume was written by Chuck D (unless he's using a ghostwriter).
Yeah, good old Chuck D. He probably blames this on the international Jewish conspiracy, judging by Public Enemy's past, For those who don't know: Professor Griff got kicked out for racist statements, only to be let back in, and a song they released a while back had a "little bit" of anti-semitism in it.
Hey, here's a good idea! Why don't you write a letter to your local District Attorney, instead of blaming Clinton for something he didn't do?

Sue Lexicon? I hate to break it to you, but Lexicon reverb units are a staple in all professional recording studios. If I was making a big pop album, I probably wouldn't end up going to a studio that hadn't spent a lot over $10 000 for Lexicon equipment.
Read the DMCA for a second, under information location tools:
Section 512(d) relates to hyperlinks, online directories, search engines and the like. It limits liability for the acts of referring or linking users to a site that contains infringing material by using such information location tools, if the following conditions are met:
! The provider must not have the requisite level of knowledge that the material is infringing. The knowledge standard is the same as under the limitation for information residing on systems or networks.
[ previous mention of the knowledge standard: Under the knowledge standard, a service provider is eligible for the limitation on liability only if it does not have actual knowledge of the infringement, is not aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent, or upon gaining such knowledge or awareness, responds expeditiously to take the material down or block access to it. ]
! If the provider has the right and ability to control the infringing activity, the provider must not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the activity.
! Upon receiving a notification of claimed infringement, the provider must expeditiously take down or block access to the material.
Napster is a search engine, it has to follow these rules. If it does not, it can be held liable for copyright infingement.
Considering that Apple machines have "ROM-in-RAM" nowadays, you just need to get a compatible piece of OpenFirmware firmware to get it to boot. Then it loads a ROM image into memory, and uses that. The image can be updated from the net.
I don't know much about Apple's OF stuff, but this might be a bit of a pain in the ass to write.
It's arguable that even if you do own the CDs, putting the mp3s of these CDs in your Napster directory is illegal, because it's knowingly facilitating copyright infringement.
If I put up Dre's "2001" up on my website, could I get away with it, even if I owned the CD? Of course not, because it's very easy for somebody to copy it. The same thing applies for Napster.
mp3.com can't just put up the mp3s of the songs in their magical mp3-download-on-CD-purchase system. They are required to have some sort of authentication to show that there is not blatant copyright infringement taking place, and they are *still* being sued.
Note: Some people might say that putting up mp3s so they return hits on Napster is not necessarily illegal, but the Windows client always allows at least 1 connection, and the lawyers could also check by downloading.
Too bad the Sugar Hill Gang ripped off lyrics from another group, and just rapped over another record (forget the names of both right now)

Too bad that DeCSS isn't cleanroom, it's based off of a stolen Xing key, and some nasty reverse-engineering. This case can not be one by the DeCSS people unless they get the DMCA repealed (yeah right, because afaik it's from a treaty). The DMCA expclitely prohibits the distribution of things like DeCSS, so there is no real legal ground to work on.
Yes you could do that to the authors, but they could also "un-GPL" it as much as they wanted. In fact, licence terms really wouldn't have much weight at all.
To all of the free software advocates calling for the downfall of the IP system:
IP is the only way that free software is supported. If there was no copyright system then I could take GPL'd code and make it closed source as much as I wanted to. Is this what you want?
Some people are suggesting brute-force attacks, but this is laughable to anyone with even a passing interest in mathematics. Automatic Theorem Proving has been suggested here as well, but ATP has a lot of practical problems, especially in a more complicated domain such as mathematics or more specifically, number theory.
You can download programmer's guides for the PowerPC from Motorola's web page, even stuff for Altivec. It's a standard processor, nothing proprietary. What *is* proprietary, is Apple's motherboard design and chipset (Apple recently moved all 4 of its hardware lines to a unified architecture).
Gasp! It isn't their G4 processor. It's a Motorola PPC 7400. The only debate is over other things that Apple made themselves, which are pretty easy to figure out. Be is just bitter that their plan to be purchased by Apple went sour. It's funny how BeOS evangelists never mention this, isn't it?
(I don't think Apple is hindering the development of Linux on the PPC, and as someone pointed out, they put a lot of work into MkLinux.)
Actually, we have very few European meteorite samples before the 18th century. Why you ask? Scientists said "rocks don't fall out of heaven", and got various large collections destroyed.

You're not only copying. You're putting it where other people have the ability to download it, knowingly. This is possibly quite illegal.
