Keep in mind this is the same WalMart that you can time and time again walk into with old VHS tapes (as long as the box looks okay) and say "I bought this as a gift for someone, and they already had it, can I get store credit for the return?" and will be met with smiles and money every time.
I have little doubt that the stoned kid at the photo desk is going to remember yesterday, let alone a new rule saying "watch out for good photos."
The Register reports that archive.org is more than willing to host the 5 terabytes of music. So now, other than a specific desire on the part of VU to see the music deleted, the music should still be able to exist.
VU won't have to worry about the bandwidth, the storage, or anything having to do with the old content that it does not want to.
It's a Pynchon reference, read The Crying of Lot 49, it explained what W.A.S.T.E. was years before this got out. (the horn as the program icon is also a reference to the WASTE group in the book).
I think it's another case of trying to excuse what you'd do naturally and give some reason to try and get away with it. "Oh, you're not wasting company money, you're doing research into the Metroid power jump! My mistake, I should have known!"
Like that document claiming that hackers are just doing what they do out of 'curiousity'. Oh, you can't be jailed, you're obviously not guilty of fraud or theft, you were just curious! Silly us!
No no, you don't tell them until years later, say it's because you were looking for the perfect person, and then it's considered on of those "sweet" things.
Oh that would turn out just great- you'd have people seeing anything related to girls, technology, Trek, or sex and people would be jumping "they're my soulmate!" probably only likely to find someone a little too much like them (male, lonely, looking for love in all the wrong places, looking for love in new search-based interfaces).

And I guess with the $290.95 savings you can spend time looking into the fact that Quark isn't a graphics program!

Thought people should know.
I work in HP support, we cover shipping both ways. The user never has to pay a dime for it unless they want it overnight.
Or, you could just check out the W3C and read up on it without the need of someone making edits to the explanations of the actual specs.

It's all a matter of perspective.
