A small update to the last post, "I, Pirate".

amazon.com (along with others) have started to offer MP3 downloads. No DRM, no hassle. You pay, you download, you own a copy. As simple as pirating the file.

As for free music downloads (such as the Radiohead initiative and the latest Harvey Danger album for example) I will always be drawn to these type of initiatives. It cost less for me (even if I end up paying) and it rewards the artist more. I payed $5 for the Harvey Danger album, which is less that any album I could buy from the "commercial" circuit. And I'm sure it's more than whatever they were making out of an album sale through the regular music channels.

All that is in there is just stuff I made up for the most part. However, the chances that some truth found its way in it are non negligible so this possibility should not be discarded. After all, I usually link to my sources. That said, those sources are most likely probably completely made up as well. You want to make sure it's going to work? Try it out for yourself. Ah, as well, those parts that are not blatantly stolen to others are © Pieroxy. Obviously. And last, but not least, thanks to David Vignoni for his icon set nuvola, to Manfred Klein for his font Stampede and to George Herriman for the work of his life, Krazy Kat.
