Back in the day, it was just called borrowing. Take 'Traveling Riverside Blues', which, incidentally, contained a line Robert Johnson borrowed (stole) from a recent (in 1937) Art Mckay tune 'She Squeezed My Lemon' which in turn was borrowed by Led Zeppelin as the inspiration for 'The Lemon Song'.
Interestingly enough,the Led Zeppeling version of Traveling Riverside Blues only bore a close resemblance to the original 'Travelin Riverside Blues' which actually borrows lines from many Robert Johnson songs (which may or may not have been borrowed from many blues artists of the day, such as Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Willie Johnson, or any number of other sight challenged black men.) such as Kind Hearted Woman Blues, and Come on in My Kitchen. Traditional music isn't held down by this notion of credit and authorship, a song like Frankie and Johnny, for example, has 150+ different lyrical variations, none of them copywritten.
I wonder, if Robert Johnson credited the musicians he 'borrowed from'. He was probably dead to soon for anyone to notice, and too poor for anyone to care. That aside, the creative aspect of Led Zeppelin is the synthesis of all those elements into something new and unique that changed the landscape of music as we know (knew) it.
The question should be "Will Rupert Murdoch disrupt television". Owns 30+ network stations, a major network, major satellite providers, without even speaking to his print empire.
Next thing you know, your favourite series is only available through his providers and it's for the SUPER SECRET FINALE, tune in at MYSPACE.COM. That's how I see it anyways.

Interesting to see people placing so much value on "real life" socialization and so quick to give it some mystical value beyond that of interacting with friends online, whether they are "true-friends" or mere acquaintances. Personally, in the ~15 years I've been logging on, I've cultivated many rewarding intellectual, emotional and artistic relationships without meeting face to face. Artists on social sites exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, people create masterpieces of technology, the examples are endless. When I think back to the time I spent out making real friends at bars and parties of my twenties, what did I get? Herpes, and a hangover, that's what! I think social networking could be the best thing that ever happened to the college crowd!
I was interested to see what the lessons looked like, but his account was already suspended. At any rate, something like this that uses sound from Rolling Stones recordings as part of the lesson (and is linked to a commercial venture) is different from a lesson based on an interpretation seen here. Most amateur lessons are nothing more than a cover song with an explanation.
But I'm sure we can all agree that learning to play guitar online is stealing money from music publishers! Support recording artists, buy sheet music!
Here's an excerpt from Paul Simon's interview on Charlie Rose recently on his view of the evolution of the album as a form. The whole hour is definitely interesting viewing.
Paul Simon: I'm not heading towards an album, I don't know that I would make another album, the whole record business, as you know, is completely... it imploded and it's reforming in another way, and the idea of making a CD with...10 or 12 or 13 songs is..that may be an idea that's passed.
Charlie Rose: Because it's all MP3, it's all online?
PS: Well, when you put your iPod on shuffle, it does something to the way we listen, and then it becomes much harder to listen to one artist doing 11 new songs. The attention span has been shifted by that, in the same way our attention span is being shortened everywhere else, it's also been shortened there, and that may mean the end of that as a form. The CD, which came from the album, but what you do lose out of that is, it was a very nice form. Artists like to think of writing for a whole piece, it was enjoyable.
When it was vinyl albums and there was a Side A and a Side B, it really worked. I think that's because then one side was 20 minutes, 22 minutes, that's all it could hold, and then you stopped. That's a great attention span, 22 minutes. Then if you liked it you went on and flipped it over, played the other 22 minutes. When it got to the CD, that expanded to like 65, 70 minutes that you could contain on a CD, that's longer than your English class and y'know your attention span is not gonna go that long.
Well I know if the Canadian gov't wasn't hooking me up with ~250 bucks worth of schizophrenia meds a month I'd probably be living in a van down by the river. I sure as hell couldn't afford them on a student's budget!
There's a lot to be said for socialized medicine, and most of it has already been said. When people aren't afraid to go to the doctor, the psychiatrist, the specialist, society as a whole is bound to benefit. Don't worry, you can still hate Michael Moore.

This is not just a grill, this uses acual pieces of the sun, combined with some radioactive vials from Chernobyl, and -I know this is interesting also to the ladies out there- it uses heat to cook burgers, steak, chicken, no problem.
And best of all, its not even supposed to be inside this country!
I know why they got on his case, because it was ridiculously funny. Here's a little sample. "Ten movies streaming across that internet, and what happens to your own personal internet? I...just the other day got an internet that was sent by my staff on Friday. I got it yesterday." Ok, Ted!
Well, there are like 2 billion Muslims and a billion hindus, not to mention the scores of other fringe groups, cults and deity-worshipping weirdos around the world. South America and Africa are huge for Christianity. Missionaries! Even Tibetan Buddhists have a plethora of deities in their mythology.
This is where I step in. Anyone with a solid background in madness, such as myself, can sum up the existence of a supreme deity, or lack thereof, in a few succinct phrases. So, let's put the whole mess to rest. Genetic, nature, nurture. Put the *description of reality* aside for a moment, if you will. That's all anyone's been doing for generations, anyways.
Example: Gang of scientists gets together, assigns values to things, "this is tree, these are the properties of tree, anything fitting said properties - from here-on-in referred to as tree". Human, as a collective, an intelligence, an "evolved being" if you will, (without getting too new-agey about this) is capable of perceiving reality in absolutely *any-way-shape-form-nature* that we "put our minds to" . That's the way of descriptions, your "God" is most certainly another man's "Devil" and another's "Agent Smith".
If you and six friends decided "Tree" wasn't "Tree" anymore, but "Fish", well you'd be off in the woods cutting down dinner, you dig? So, where does this leave God? Well, God could be floating in your toilet bowl for all he cares (being a total non-entity outside of the realm of perception) Sure, let's say we have a "genetic predisposition" to perceive, seeing as that is all we as human beings really do. Beyond that, it's only the "matrix of belief" we lay over our *UTTERLY FORMLESS NATURE* that controls everything in reality. But look at this way, I can sit here with all my will thinking I can fly - but if 6 billion of you close-minded dicks don't agree - it ain't gonna happen!

Don't think of it as the paper version of an online (German) encylopedia. Just think of it as 'Uncle Johann's Bathroom Reader'.

Actually, this looks like a case for the Court of the Crimson King. Yeah, I said it.
Exceptionally good. But, even at solar minimum there is still potential for exceptional mass ejections (as we saw last December.)

Thanks, I'd love a piece of cake.
Guitars. You still make the best guitars.
More like believing everything you learn on South Park?
Whatever, I ain't payin 30 cents more for tracks that don't even have DRM. That's whack.
Phone books, 3-Way calling. Alliance if you're really on the cutting edge. It's the wave of the future!

Enough with the double negatives. I don't not know anybody who doesn't not block doubleclick neither,
except the other 90% of internet users that don't "block" anything.
