    Why is it deemed OK to download TV shows, but not mp3's, movies, and software?!?

    No. Wrong. This is a question of which I would love to get a concrete answer. It is within fair use to for you to record a CD to cassette to play it in your car. Noone questions that anymore. It is fair use for me to rip a CD to WAV, convert it to MP3 and then store it on a LAN server in my...

    Why is it deemed OK to download TV shows, but not mp3's, movies, and software?!?

    And this is perfectly legal as set forth from the US Supreme Court in 1984 in what is called the BetaMax case. Fair Use and Digital Rights Management No, I am not cool with that. Just like broadcasted radio, in the case of a TV show (such as the latest episodes of The OC or Smallville)...

    Joe Satriani!

    I have a similar report too. Saw him at the Beacon Theater in NYC on Oct 16. 3 hours total.. Fast, slow, moody, hyper, old school, new school. Simply amazing. Now I love wailing guitars &amp; hard rock, but it was too loud. We sat in a perfectly unobstructed line with the theaters speakers. If...

    Corporate Security ByPass

    If the company uses a web proxy to filter and check URLs then it can be done by telneting or ssh'ing (if they allow telnet or ssh) to a shell account and running lynx or links.
