Increasingly, I'm finding mp3 searches that ONLY take me to MP3Panda. If you don't want to buy a physical disc, and need obscure stuff, this very well may be the way to go. DRM free mp3s @ 160-320kbps. $30 deposit required. 20 cents an mp3 on average.
This is more or less what AllOfMP3 (the legal-in-Russia mp3 site) became.

They admit it. No longer with quotes around "admit", like with their private admissions months ago.
They just don't admit it where it would get them in trouble. I assume this is new news.
Maybe the UN was hallucinating when it hit 'em. . . :)
Of course, we have 2 sides with 2 diff numbers, as always.
I tend to trust the higher number when dealing with the highest per-capita military on the planet. -
Create charts and visualizations and such with this. I needed a 4-way venn diagram generator, and this worked in a pinch. Doesn't appear to be freeware, however…

More bullshit disorderly conduct charges.
"Tuma then began his chant. “I hate the police. I hate the police.” One officer took it personal.
“Hey! Hey! Who do you think you’re talking to?” Tuma recalled the officer shouting as he strode across an intersection to where Tuma was standing. “Who do you think you are to think you can talk to a police officer like that?” the police officer said, according to Luke Platzer, 30, one of Tuma’s companions.
Tuma said he responded, “It is not illegal to say I hate the police. It’s not illegal to express my opinion walking down the street.”
Well, police in the capital of the free world seem to think different. And making them pay via lawsuit is the only way to get them to "listen".
Of course, D.C. is the city who arrested people for disorderly conduct for dancing to music on their iPods at the Jfferson memorial. So who the hell knows just how blind justice is…

This is probably the best anti-Facebook rant I've ever seen. "Mosquito's precum"?!?!?! Hahaha! I even had to look up some of the names he used to verify they were real people… They were. Lol.

Yup. The record companies, in their infinite wisdom, have declared that if you buy a DRM song and the DRM stops working — too bad for you. You should just buy it again.
I remember everyone re-buying their vinyl collections on cassette, and then on CD afterward. I have multiple albums in all 3 formats.
But now that we've reached close to perfection, with near-perfect digital distribution … They don't have any way of making everyone re-buy their whole collection again.
So they want to DRM stuff, have the DRM fail, and trick you into re-buying the same perfect digital copy over and over again.
They also want to do away with fair use.
Ugh. -
This makes Glen's landlord Cuong look civil by comparison! Too bad you have to read the posts in reverse order, though.

It's about time this happens. P2P will no be stomped out. Ever.
Tor is an important tool; very popular in Iran lately ( https://blog.torproject.org/blog/measuring-tor-and-iran ).

Assassination attempt? Religious ire? It wasn't too long ago that someone shot Larry Flynt for daring to show a naked white woman next to a naked black man. Old sentiments die hard?
