the surest way to provoke more terrorist attacks would be to give these terrorists any part of what they want
Not necessarily, real diplomacy along with the threat of possible force is what is needed - not the 'do as we say or else' attitude. One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter
When the hell has the U.S. state sponsored terrorism in the U.K.?
Throughout the 70's and 80's, possibly even into the nineties - remember NORAID, I don't remember the USA stopping the bank accounts of NORAID members. America has, until recently, always backed the Republican cause (which would be fine if it wasn't so entwined with Terrorism).
In Northern Ireland we deal with Terrorism every day (the past weekend has been a nightmare with shootings just two minutes walk from me), and I don't see America coming down on the IRA, UVF, UFF etc.
Forget the past, it's irrelevant - America and the UK both share plenty of blame for what's going on in the world.
Has no-one asked the question 'why do they hate us so much', instead of just seeking retribution.

That's true, but the user would know whether the style of music they are downloading is likely to be repetative or not.
An alert box could come up saying "the file you are downloading seems to contain a high rate of repition. Do you wish to continue the download?"
The only problem is that the music industry could create tracks with the first verse and then random noise...
