DRM

Thanks to Ray Beckerman for bringing the Expert Witness Fund to my notice via a post post over at his blog.

I was unaware that the donations to the fund were tax deductible. This, however, is a defense fund I am all in favor of.

Another great "rightful" organization to keep in mind’ is the EFF. [...]

The p2pnet post and it begins with "Could a new site buying and selling ‘used’ mp3s possibly be a honeypot set up by the RIAA?" I am reading it and, in the back of my head, I am thinking if this "is some kind of hoax?". Bopaboo, as the author makes known, is [...]

Yesterday, I got off on a bit of a rant about how I felt about some recent happenings regarding my the the most dislike company in America. I refer to them as the Racketeering Idiots Association of Absurdity but most of you know them as the RIAA.

The post received a few comments and I [...]

I am sitting here listening to and half watching the March 10th edition of WebbAlert and I am hearing about a suit filed against the RIAA.

Yesterday, I put a post here that was largely inspired by the comment of a reader on an earlier rant. Before I even conclude the first paragraph, I thank all of you for commenting and the compliments on my article.

Yesterday’s rant had several good comments. [...]
