It seems to me that the major distros are all jumping to X.org because of the XF86 licensing issue. Are there any other advantages to X.org, or are distros just jumping to it over what looks like a quite trivial license change?
I mainly listen to game soundtracks (I particularly like Half Life's track 11), which probably counts as me buying the music.
I downloaded the UT2004 demo, and I've got the music from that in my playlist. So yeah, I guess that makes filesharing a good thing - it makes me buy more game music!

And what boss is going to complain about three new cases of post-its?
But what about the native life in these underwater forests! Save the sea monkeys!
I bought that game for $50. I can't get that game to run, but it makes for excellent listening.
