Got another quiver to launch against Lawyers and Accountants, and this time, it's aimed against Disney Lawyers and Accounts, the real life answer to The Heartless from Kingdom Hearts: My favorite vilians there . . . for me to reduce to entrails at the edge of my big key weapon. They're worse than the undead. They are to be loathed. They shall fall before the power of my Imagination! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! [cough cough] excuse me, You know how my L33t Mode gets. It couldn't be denied when it comes to Corporate screw jobs that would make Vinnie Mac blush. It demands that Corporate Lawyers and Accountants suffer daily. They do so whenever anybody downloads a song or an anime episode. That concept keeps me warm at night. So I l33ch. I skip commercials. I use P2P. I'm getting Yugioh Ep. 25 off mIRC while I'm typing this. I go to Internet Radio for music and keep my radio for Talk, Sports, and the fact that it's got a clock. And in the end I loose a bit of respect to John Walsh each weekend because I'm not featured on AMW. (But I excuse him: Child Abductors and Mass Murderers get prefrence over CD Rippers any day.) People say that makes me a theif becaise I don't play the games the way Corporates want them to be played. I don't play Corporate. Deal with it.

Here's an article from the EFF (http://www.eff.org) which includes a very handy form letter that you can just type your name and addy in, and it'll be automatically sent to the appropiate Senators and Representatives. ^-^ There's also a link to what a Turner CEO said while he's on intoxicants claiming that those who skip commercials are stealing. What Phracking Ever. Learn from ABC's Soccer Games.

Sing Out Against The CBDTPA

Electronic Frontier Foundation ACTION ALERT

(Issued: May 28, 2002 / Expires: June 28, 2002)

Imagine a world where all digital media technology is controlled by
Congress and Hollywood. Senator Ernest Hollings and a powerful group of
Hollywood entertainment interests are pushing Congress to pass an
anti-consumer bill called the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television
Promotion Act (CBDTPA) to bring just such a world into existence. The
CBDTPA promises a world where your ability to use the digital media that
you buy may be severely limited. Legal freedoms that you have long
enjoyed could drastically change. If CBDTPA passes, you may not be able
to:

* Play your CDs on your desktop computer
* Create legal copies or mp3s of the music that you own to play in
your car, or listen to while you exercise
* Create mix-CDs of music you've paid for

This is not the way copyright law is supposed to work. The Betamax
decision, handed down by the Supreme Court in 1984, established the
principle of "substantial non-infringing uses" - if a technology (such
as a VCR) can be used for legitimate copying, such as time shifting or
home viewing, the fact that the technology can also be used for
copyright infringement does not make the technology illegal. The Betamax
principle allows technologists to create tools that can be used for
good, even if they can be used in other ways. The CBDTPA breaks the
delicate balance reached between copyright holders and those making fair
uses of copyrighted works. This bill, and other attempts by Hollywood to
curtail your rights, must be stopped.

What YOU Can Do Now: This is YOUR chance to voice your opposition to
CBDTPA. - Subscribe to the new EFF Action Center and send your member of
Congress an email, letter or fax. You can take action by going to:
