Friggin' hypocrits. These are probably the same people that condemn violence and gore in film. What the fuck? I guess its ok to show inhuman beatings, so long as your beating the shit out of christ.

] So let’s see if I have this correct. Have an audience
] and be overtly critical of the government, lose your job,
] or at least be beaten into impotency. On the grand scale
] our first amendment rights are non-existent. Doesn’t
] it scare people one little bit that one of the most
] important and basic freedoms we have is being trounced
] right in front of their faces. Freedoms that American
] soldiers are dying for right now? Do tax cuts mean that
] much? Do party hard-liners honestly; have no problem with
] this kind of thing from an elected government? Do they
] just chalk it up historical corruption, governments have
] been corrupt forever, and nothing is going to change
] that now? Am I just a fringe lunatic that thinks this is
] inherently wrong and dangerous? I don’t know anymore.
] It seems as if conservatives and the general public are
] content to let this blatant violation of the Constitution
] go unchecked, as long as it is their party doing the
] violating.

] A new version of MP3 - the digital music format that
] kicked off the online music sharing revolution - is being
] developed that will include technology to stop
] unauthorised copying and sharing.
]
] The two companies that own the patents covering MP3,
] Thomson and Fraunhofer, are working on a new version that
] will incorporate so-called digital right management (DRM)
] technology.
]
] DRM can be used in conjunction with software and hardware
] players to limit the number of copies of a music file a
] user can make, or to prevent forwarding. As yet, however,
] it is unclear how the new protection system will work.
]
] "Eventually, digital distribution will be a significant
] mass market," Rocky Caldwell, director of technology
] marketing for Thomson, told CNET News. "We think it will
] be served well by [digital rights management] that is
] based on standards. No one else seems to be proposing
] that."

And this new form of mp3 is going to be REAL popular with users. Way to Shit it Up!
