Not too many people seem to remember the one important fact in this case. Metallica asked Napster to remove their songs from the Napster servers. Metallica did not pursue legal action until Napster said "no." If Napster had removed the Metallica stuff, Metallica never would have brought suit.
Important Note here, Napster can't remove any Metallica songs from their server, because they don't have any on them! You see Napster just acts like a gateway, to link pirate #1 to pirate #2, and so on. That just goes to show you that Metallica (their lawyers, record company, etc) are just plain stupid.
I am a Junior at Live Oak High school in Watson, LA. Which is right outside of Baton Rouge. We are being forced to wear the Id tags which do display our SSN in the form of a barcode. Like the school in Ruston I have been able to decode my barcode and see that it reads me SSN. Our **wonderfull** (cough, cough) (very sarcastic comment) principal thinks that these will keep kids from coming in and shooting us up. To me they serve no purpose except to be a bother and to just allow the admin. another reason to hand out detention. I was under the impression that it was illegal to have SSN as a form of ID. If so, could you please send me say a URL on a.gov homepage to pyrokid911NO SPAM@yahoo.com Make sure you take the NOSPAM out first
