Just When I Thought There'd Be Nothing To Post
In my opinion, today is an extremely slow news day. I thought there was going to be nothing to report whatsoever. Then I came across this. San Francisco area rapper Paris has released a new album called Sonic Jihad. Paris, most famous for his single The Devil Made Me Do It, has decided that the debate surrounding US foreign policies and the wars in the Middle East aren't muddied enough so he thought he'd release a new album giving his side of the story. He's free to do that, in fact I say congrat's to him. The trouble in my opinion is that nobody is ever going to hear the album let alone see it on the shelves. Why won't the album get widespread airplay and acclaim? Because the album cover artwork is a picture of a fourth plane flying into the White House.
That's good and agitating.

The Music Industry Goes Guerilla
The music industry is so peeved about downloads that they've decided to start experimenting with illegal ways to stop us from doing it.
They're going to start attacking our computers and interrupting our connection speeds. I guess the irritating spoofing plan hasn't worked well enough for them. Don't these tactics remind you of someone, or rather a group of people? That's right, hackers. A lot of what these companies are threatening to do (and some of these strategies are already in place) are really very creepy. They can come into your computer, whilst your asleep, and delete files. What else can they do? More than you think.
