read somewhere that puscifer's "Cuntry Boner" was or is at the top of
*Billboard's* dance chart.

so one can "steal" music, eh?  i suppose it's also possible to "steal" air?
 or precious bodily fluids?

From the article ("Nude Couple Grapple Over Dog Near Shower"):  "The woman
told her boyfriend that if the dog doesn't stay out, she didn't want to be his
girlfriend anymore. He replied that maybe his next girlfriend would appreciate
the dog more, and called her a name."

..Can I take a guess at the name he called her?  Could it have been "bitch"?

It was a big year in cuntry music; the Happy Mondays record also had a song
called "Cuntry Disco".  Sadly, Carlene Carter failed to release a record.

Randomly, this reminds me of the extinct candy "Bonkers", which were sort of
like a more rectangular-shaped Starburst with a two slightly different
"flavors" at once, one a darker core to the other.

Happy New Year and all that.

The forthcoming R.E.M. record may indeed not suck, but its title already
does: "Accelerate".

Well, I think you *can* steal precious bodily fluids.  But the idea that 
music is like air and has the same properties with regard to, well, 
property, is not new at all.  It's at least as old as the USofA.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively posess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the 
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. 
Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because 
every other possesses the whole of it. He who recieves an idea from me, 
recieves instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his 
taper at mine, recieves light without darkening me. That ideas should 
spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual 
instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been 
peculiarly and benevelolently designed by nature, when she made them, like 
fire, expandable over all space, without lessening their density at any 
point, and like the air in which we breathe, move and have our physical 
being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions 
then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property."

- -- Thomas Jefferson

It seems to me that digital media of any sort has exactly this same 
property that Jefferson cites as being naturally incapable of subject to 
exclusive appropriation.  I don't see any distinction between media, 
ideas, fire, and air, when it comes to this inherent uncontainability.

Why just this evening my honey and I snuggled up by the light of a
crackling  .wav file.
