RIAA takes over FCC
by Blank Frank 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

Napster, the song swapping service, is being sued for millions of dollars by the producers of the prestigious awards show, the Grammys. The National Academy of Recordings Arts and Sciences (NARAS) says the service enabled users to trade copyrighted music files from the awards show. Within hours of the awards being handed out, music files of performances from the show, including Sir Elton John's controversial duet with Eminem, could be downloaded via Napster. 'Scuse me, mofo, you broadcast your shit in our aether, we can tape it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/newsid_1206000/1206863.stm

you may only speak what the RIAA allows
by Blank Frank 28 Mar '01

The RIAA has asked the court to order Napster to use a "filter in" method, which would allow songs that Napster is authorised to distribute to be placed on its system, rather than blocking the swapping of copyrighted music placed on its service. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/business/newsid_1246000/1246924.stm

I'm torn between this "social retardation" explanation and the feeling that Jim is obnoxious simply to get attention. In either case, his social skills certainly are INCHOATE (look it up, Jim). I used to be pissed off by the guy. Now, I mostly just feel pity for him. > The result, of course, is that he becomes > progressively less effective at > communication, as more and more people > tune him out due to the low value of his > postings. Yup, I don't have a kill fill, per se, but I've come to expect a very low level of Cypherpunk relevance from Jim's random URLs as well as extremely poor analytical skills when he does write something. Jim either says too little or way to much--and it's usually garbage. I delete 95% of his stuff without reading it.

Jim's been pinged on this many, many times. He used to include tens of kilobytes of HTML pages with his postings, but at least he's gotten over that. I've come to the conclusion that Jim is unable to see things from another's viewpoint, and so regards it a bad trade to spend 30 seconds of his own time to save man-hours of wasted effort by his readers. The result, of course, is that he becomes progressively less effective at communication, as more and more people tune him out due to the low value of his postings. Adam: Jim regards unsolicited private email as a personal affront, and gets crabby about it. Peter Trei #include <std.disclaimer> "J.A.
