According to WHOIS, it looks like the folks at Atriks are behind this. You can contact them directly (toll free!) at 866-624-7008. You know, if you wanted more information about this, or something.
Ham is a specific cut of pork, and I should mention that the label on cans of SPAM has been updated to say "pork with ham", which clarifies it a little.
This really ought to be legal, and I'm only playing devil's advocate here because I had a similar idea and ran into this roadblock.
I can't get around the fact that any reasonable method of sharing music digitally involves, somewhere, the act of copying the music. As soon as you're sharing the music (i.e., no longer just using said information for personal use), you're distributing a copy of copyrighted material that is not yours to distribute. Even making sure that the original isn't used while the copy is on loan doesn't change the fact that you distributed a copy.
That's where worthless-record-exec comes in. He sees that you distributed a copy of something to which he owns the copyright, and that he didn't make any money on the deal. That's pretty much the end of it.
A large chunk of code for a file sharing network built around an idea like what you described are still sitting on my computer, so if you can find a legal way around this, please let me know.
The "problem" with this is that there's no revenue for record execs in this model, and it's unlikely to have the inherent protection that libraries do. If the recording industry won't make money off of it, then they won't go for it.
It would never happen, but I think it'd be great to require presidential candidates to be required to sit down for an extended CIV session (8-16 hours, maybe more?) and play against one another in a televised CIV game, with color commentary. You could see how each candidate chooses to run their kingdom, how 'happy' they keep their citizens, how easily they succumb to waging war to get what they want, etc.
This was actually suggested in the strategy guide for the first Civilization game. I would have liked to see it in the 2000 election, because then, in addition to inventing the Internet, Al Gore could have discovered bronze working, monotheism, flight, the railroad, rocketry and fusion power. Not to mention protecting our borders from Alexander and his damn chariots.
(Disclaimer: I realize that Gore voted to support research on what would become the Internet, and that this is all he was taking credit for. I'm just making a joke here.)

Clearly, what the universe needs is an Elizabethan adventure on the holodeck!
There go my plans for a paperless office.

Yeah, it's the same section that makes the GPL unconstitutional.
Does that mean the full quote was: "Despite assertions made by Linux vendors, a Linux cluster is not a high performance computer, eh"?
Frankly, I never get tired of pointing out Sen. Hatch's hypocrisy.
I hope this leads to still more Final Fantasy goodness on the Nintendo platforms.

It's just pork, ham, salt, water, sugar, and sodium-nitrite.
Not really anything to get worked up about.
