LOS ANGELES--The Recording Industry Association of America announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates about new songs, artists, or albums. "We are merely exercising our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director Brad Buckles read. "We will aggressively prosecute those individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating 'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops, universities, and living rooms.
Editors/admins don't mod all metadiscussions, other slashdot readers (such as me) do. This whole thread has nothing to do with the article, so it should be marked down. I don't come here to listen to people complain - I'm looking for insight.
Whatever the circumstances behind the access, Mr. Patry said, the sole result "is that information that they had formerly made publicly available didn't stay hidden."

"Dinosaurs are relatively rare and we certainly think of Tyrannosaurus rex as being really rare -- although it really isn't -- so people tend not to want to cut holes into the bone or cut them in half," he said.
"But to study the cellular and molecular structures of these things you have to do that." The "good stuff," he said, is on the inside.
If you're going to make a T-Rex, you gotta crack a few bones.
Overall, I love this browser, but it's the little things that drive you crazy. My one and only gripe: to open a new tab in the address bar, you use alt-enter, to open a new tab when you click a link on a page, you use ctrl-enter. And if you mix the two up, you end up with saved web pages on your computer.
Is there anything out there that drives you crazy about this browser?
If you look at that 2.3MB file listing all the files in the distribution (along with the sizes), all the files add up to only about 660MB. I highly doubt that's the entire source.

An interesting statistic would be what percentage of business majors are in the greek system. This could be skewing the numbers a little.
I use lyrics to get timing down with guitar tab.
Oh, they're taking that, too?
They feel just like a bag of sand.

Bill (in voice of Mr. Burns): excellent./p?

If you're using the FlashBlock Firefox plugin, would you even need to disable this "feature" in Flash?
