Here is what a Foxnewsiness debate of Republican candidates might look like when run by Billo-the-Wimp O'Reilly.

Thanks Norm. I saw Juno last week and 'Loose Lips' has been on cranial repeat ever since.

Here's 'Anyone Else But You' by The Moldy Peaches (Kimya Dawson's band): http://www.mediafire.com/?95qyrmmj2t9

BTW, the MP3 isn't my post so I don't know what its copyright status is. Prolly best to play it safe and buy a copy. ;)

Speakinawhich, that music blog Norm linked to has a lot of mp3s on it, easily downloadable, including big-name stuff. So if I download that and play it on my IPod, am I in violation of the laws that be?

Yes. The "laws that be" would be the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act). Also, turning your own cds into mp3s is against the DMCA, according to the RIAA.

The DMCA is a wonderful piece of legislation that costs your university tax dollars, the right to sell your cd's in some states, and breaks your legal DVD's you buy.

(sorry for all the /. posts, just the easiest place to find all the material)

Many artists offer MP3s for download for promotional purposes. Music blogs like the one Norm linked to usually offer only these "legal" freebies. There are several available on Kimya Dawson's site too.

This turned out to be FUD. The guy they're suing ripped his CDs and put them on Kazaa: http://tinyurl.com/3dd5z9
