The article isn't completely accurate. Those of us (such as myself) who live on the outer fringes of the city have DSL access. And there's a couple of neighborhoods that share a T1 line over WiFi to get net access.
What the article doesn't say is that about 12 years ago the city had Verizon-Americast cable lay down two conduits to every house and business in the city. One conduit (black for those of us who live there) carried cable, the other (orange) was supposed to carry a fibre optic cable. To this date, the fibre conduit has remained empty. Talk about a wasted opportunity.
One day or another Comcast will take over cable operations (the takeover has been approved) and the residents will have another broadband option. Until that day, T1's, ISDN, or for the lucky ones, DSL.
You'll have to prove that you got your collection before you downloaded the songs... and even then, their lawyers (for lack of a better word) would screw things in such a way that you'll need Johnnie Cochran and friends to bail you out.
You'll want to do this... then fix the file so it's roughly the same size as the "original" and if possible, the same CRC as the original. Spread them far and wide.
That'll really screw them and a lot of "innocent" people up good.

If they sucked, they'd be good.

Managers would be the first to be culled. Pure genius! I say we implement this immediately!
