Of course not. In fact, they're downright lying about it.
I've got a free AOL account at the moment, and your question prompted me to go check out the "mail controls" that entails. I've found an option to "allow all email to be delivered to this screen name." This translates to "allow e-mail from all AOL members, e-mail addresses, and domains." (emphasis mine.) This is the default setting.
Does that mean this account is still affected by this email blockage? They're apparently blocking it at the SMTP level, not just failing to deliver it, so, Yep! It sure is.
But, at ~$15 each and being limited by law to only working a max of 20 hours a week at minimum wage he can't afford too many CD's.
IANAL, but I'm pretty sure there's no law that limits a minor to making only minimum wage...and where are you living that a 17-year-old can't work more than 20 hours/week?
I've had AOL for free for 8 months simply because every time I call up to cancel my free trial (on the last possible day) they extend it another two months. When asked why I'd like to cancel, I've told their operators flat out that "I'll keep using it as an internet connection as long as you keep giving it to me, but I'm not paying for it."
This is quickly followed up by a "Have you tried out keyword _______? You can't find that anywhere but AOL! How 'bout another two free months to check it out?"
I think that in its self shows they're still signing people up for the sake of counting them.
"Every radio station in every city that's making any money is probably 9 times out of 10 part of ClearChannel's vast network"
Probably more like 8 times out of 10, but only because the Telecommunications Act of 1996 limits a corporation to owning 8 stations in a given major regional market (as ClearChannel does in Washington, DC).
A good friend of mine works for ClearChannel* who, of course, owns nearly every decent venue here in Philadelphia. As far as I'm concerned, the only good things to come out of her employment there are free tickets to any shows I wish. feh.

*Yeah, I know, but it's not entirely her fault. She went to work for local promotions house Electric Factory Concerts, who's since been bought by SFX, who's since been bought by ClearChannel.
It doesn't require freeDB, it just uses it by default. It will use CDDB (Gracenote) if that's your poison.
My point wasn't that this program is responsible for these Gracenote stats, just that it's possible to use a CDDB-like system without having a physical compact disc.
That is correct; you don't even need to burn it first.
The MP3 Tag and Rename software I use (windows only, sorry) can take a group of MP3s, create a CDDB checksum, query freeDB for it, and write the artist/album/trackname info into the ID3 tags.
Granted, there's not only a single shell available for the unicies. But Microsoft Explorer is hardly the only shell available for Windows.
Litestep is probably the most popular alternative shell for Windows; one I personally made dedicated use of for years. Don't like litestep? Choose from any one of the 65 other shells available (at least half of which are currently in development.)
so there's one track, that's not a loop? doesn't that mean there can only be one train going back and forth?
i'm no mono-thingy-guy, but that doesn't seem like it would relieve the congestion nearly as much as a loop track with >1 train running continuously in one direction.
though, it is vegas. maybe they could set up some game of chance that would land you at the front of the line.
Sure, an unwanted program designed to take up your hard drive space and CPU cycles is "bad"-ware. However, is "spy"-ware the right term?
No, it's not.
You're right, the Brilliant Digital Media app is not technically spyware. However, the Brilliant Digital Media app is far from the only thing that comes along with kazaa's official installer.
yes. it must not mount as a normal portable hard disk in windows, though. it comes with the "creative file manager" app for transferring non-music files to/from the device.
there's one bullet about this on the features page ("Creative File Manager - Use the player as a portable storage device").
ok, so we all know about theevils of the popular networks. are there any good ones left?
it can't be down to gnutella and small opennap networks, can it?

If you read the site deeper you'll see that XPlay works with Windows Media Player. It does sync all your stuff.
According to an XPlay developer known only as "Dave" on the XPlay forum, the Windows Media Player interface is actually not the primary interface -- Windows Explorer is.
There you can create playlists (though poorly so far), add and delete songs, rebuild the iTunesDB (the mp3 DB on the device), and restore your iPod
to an empty state.
Mediafour is also in talks with Apple concerning a Windows firmware updater. (They've got the solution, just not the rights).
I've been using it since late December, and I'm very happy with it's progress. According to Dave's forum posts, the only reason it's still not out of alpha is because of problems with a few IEEE1394 chipsets; TexasInstruments, for one.

My HP 722c has been going strong for ~4 years now. So long as I can keep finding new ink for it, I can't see getting rid of it.
I do like the gadget factor of the newer models that can print photos right off of a memory stick, though.
Or to track down, and beat the crap out of whoever jacks your phone from you...
Or your car. That'd be an interesting use. Who needs LoJack?
"Obviously YMMV."

You also get the Gator "companion," and Cydoor's "ads on software." -- Both of which certainly are "spyware."

yes. it must not mount as a normal portable hard disk in windows, though. it comes with the "creative file manager" app for transferring non-music files to/from the device.
there's one bullet about this on the features page ("Creative File Manager - Use the player as a portable storage device").
it is real IEEE1394. it's just passed their audigy firewire port compatibility tests, so it's called sb1394.
it should work with any other IEEE1394 card you might have.
from the specs page:
Memory
16MB DRAM buffer
20GB hard drive storage (333 hours at 128kbps MP3 encoding)
sb1394 is IEEE1394. and, AFAIK, only sony refers to IEEE1394 as iLink.
