Stop hittin' the table

A. Microsoft's answer to the iPod? (fun fact: I am pretty sure i am the ONLY PERSON LEFT IN AMERICA who doesn't own an iPod.)

B. Oh, EFF. I love you. Frequently Awkward Questions for the Entertainment Industry

2. The RIAA has sued over 20,000 music fans for file sharing, who have on average paid a $3,750 settlement. That's over $75,000,000. Has any money collected from your lawsuits gone to pay actual artists? Where's all that money going?

3. The RIAA has sued over 20,000 music fans for file sharing. Recently, an RIAA representative reportedly suggested that "students drop out of college or go to community college in order to be able to afford [P2P lawsuit] settlements." Do you stand by this advice? Is this really good advice for our children's futures?

4. The RIAA said that it only went after individual file sharers because you couldn't go after P2P system creators. After the Supreme Court's Grokster decision, shouldn't you stop going after music fans?

POP CULTURE MONSTERS PHOTOSHOP CONTEST

Children are so adorably innocent. The world to them is a shiny, happy place where Mickey Mouse doesn't have razor sharp teeth, Santa doesn't eat his reindeer and the tooth fairy takes your teeth after they've fallen out. Well, we're going to show them the twisted truth. In this contest we're going to corrupt our children in any way our sociopathical tendencies allow us.

Hehe. These were my faves:

And random basketball news from Tar Heel Blue.com

CHAPEL HILL -- The University of North Carolina and the Dean E. Smith Center will play host to two NBA preseason games in October featuring former Tar Heels Raymond Felton, Brendan Haywood, Antawn Jamison, Sean May and Marvin Williams.

Felton and May's Charlotte Bobcats are involved in both exhibition games, including an October 17 match-up against Haywood and Jamison's Washington Wizards, and an October 27 game against Williams and the Atlanta Hawks.

Could be fun! Upper level tix are around 25, so that's not too bad.
