This capability of cell phones has been known for a long time -- and is the primary reason why you're not allowed to carry a cell phone in an embassy, even if it's off.
When the US gave the government of Kazakhstan control over the TLD, they gave them permission to censor the Internet as much as they wanted without repercussions.
The newest requirement is that any.kz domains must use name-servers located in Kazakhstan.
All nameservers are under state control, and are EXTREMELY expensive. Not only is this a means of censorship, but also highly profitable.
A side-effect is that most sites will be forced to shut down, or pay exhorbitant sums to government-owned internet providers.
You need to pay the publisher (ASCAP, BMI, etc.), for performance rights. Costs are based on the number of copies you'll sell, and is negligable if you're small-fry.
About 15 years ago when my band did a cover of a popular eighties song, we contacted ASCAP and was told that if we didn't think we were going to sell more than 10,000 copies of our album, then not to waste their time with it -- kinda don't-ask-don't-tell.
Labels have become much greedier recently -- especially with things such as ring-tones (which are basically midi files), so attitudes may have changed.
After going through the "build your own speakers" phase in high-school (hey, it was the eighties), we decided that there still wasn't enough bass, no matter what cabinet design. We then built a (huge) servo-speaker which could go all the way down to DC.
You could definitely notice when it was switched in -- mostly because everything would fall off of shelves (and your neighbors shelves) and your rib-cage would ache after a while.
It made music sound a lot more fuller, though you had to tune it to the room for best effect, and depending on the size and shape of the room, you sometimes had to be sitting in the right spot (the node). It didn't have to be loud to be effective either.
"DSP" have been doing mathematic, fractal, aleotoric, and genetic music using samplers and digital audio instead of synthesizers. Very cool for those afflicted with synaesthesia.;)

How did they taste?
Holy crap, that's geeky. Does it have a laser too? I'd get one in a second if it did.
Admit it, you made all that up, didn't you.

Thanks America!
Do you really think he'll make it past the Department of Homeland Security?
He'll be blasted out of the sky before he hits Alaska.

Where's your 'scope? How do you expect clients and the boss to take your seriously without a scope and pretty rotating lisajous patterns?
