Drugs are bad. I mean, they like, are not good. God is good. Marijuana is b-a-d.

The RIAA is at it again... this time going after a family of 5 where the dad had no idea what his 12 year old daughter was doing with his computer.

To avoid this just download your music from newsgroups. It takes a bit of research to download a good newsgroup reader, and you need access to a newsgroup server. Almost all internet providers give you a free feed into the newsgroups. (normally news.yourisp.com)

For good newsgroup software try one of these: http://www.apn.gr/manager/publish/freeware.shtml (I use PowerGrab)

Now subscribe to the group "alt.binaries.sounds.mp3" -- you'll notice there are many other groups with "mp3" in their title. These normally target a specific genre, like "alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.rock"

There is no easy way for the RIAA (that I have heard of at least) to track you when using newsgroup servers to download music.

Fuck the RIAA

You can say what you want about the French, but those people have a passion we seemed to have lost. Over here our leaders nearly bankrupt our country with a war sold on lies. (or at best ‘mistakes’) Our reaction? Not much that I can notice. Most people seem quite satisfied with things.

 

In France the government changes what would be a mundane detail over here and people go nuts.
