  1. RECAP is a great chrome extension that allows you to download certain documents that have already been downloaded by another RECAP user. It's not fool proof, but has helped me save a few bucks.

  2. Spotify ads support artists and the company on Spotify Bans Ad Blockers In Updated ToS (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    So much vitriol against ads here. We're talking about a service that provides a TON of songs. Anyone remember how hard it was listening to music 20 years ago? Waiting for a CD? Or the song to come on the radio so you can record it?

    I'm happy to pay spotify to not hear those ads. I've been a subscriber for more than 2 years. Everyone complaining about not getting their service for free is, basically, a freeloader.

    Good riddance.

  3. Excellent analysis here... on Parody and Satire Videos, Which Is Fair Use? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Excellent analysis here: http://copyrightsandcampaigns.blogspot.com/2010/04/henley-devore-file-dueling-briefs-in.html

    One of my former professors is litigating this case. Although it seems like he has an uphill battle, I hope he succeeds.

    What happens if it overtunes or something like that. Has anyone here ever had a guitar string snap in their face from overtension?? Not fun...

  6. Re:Yes, there's a winner on DVD Recording - Is There a Winner Yet? · · Score: 1

    Actually, microsoft made a more recent announcment stating they would be supporting both formats, and even at that, how many people actually use the native burning program built into xp?? DVD-R is cheaper, and if it works with what you have, by all means........

  10. ahhh on UC Irvine Cracks Down on P2P · · Score: 1

    coming from the guy who made the submission and is paying 15,000 dollar a year for tuition...... just put yourself in my shoes for a minute..... really........ just for a minute, and then realize that having a really slow p2p connection really is hard to deal with. You try dealing mainly with mirc and ftp..........
