Let me guess... you're one of the same people who told people they should stick it to the oil industry by boycotting gas stations for a day, right?
It makes absolutely no difference how many people spend money on movies/CDs on a given day. These are gigantic multinational corporations, not some sort of mom and pop store where they take the cash register at the end of the day so they can go buy dinner. Corporations don't really care how many CDs they sell on any given day. Chances are, if you want to buy it, you will buy it some other day. All you're doing is creating a microscopic hiccup in their massive revenues.
Clause 2.1 does not contradict clause 3.2 in any way. It says that you can't break the law or make money by using the site. It does NOT say that as long as you aren't breaking the law or making money, anything goes.
Clause 3.2 allows for use of content in one, very limited way. It allows the download of information for personal use. So the user can read the content off the web page, and save it on his computer (in the same form as he found it), as long as it stays there and no one else sees it. By sending the content on to Slashdot, you are transmitting content over the internet and publishing by making their content publicly available. Both of these acts are expressly forbidden in clause 3.2
It's very simple. It's not yours, you're not authorized to reproduce a work, you're pirating.
Oh, so like copying content out of Dictionary.com?

3.2 You will not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit, any of the content, in whole or in part, found on the Site.
So you're a pirate, too. And, I suppose, so am I for copying the copyright notice. See you in jail!
For more egg fun, make a note of exactly how many seconds it takes for the egg to explode. Subtract 3-5 seconds, and do it again. If you did it right, the egg should be fairly pressurized, but not yet exploded. Take the egg out and throw it at something you don't like. Run away, laughing.

I almost failed one class (twice!) because I preferred sleeping to attending. Do I have a sleep addiction? Should sleep be regulated?
