And for the record, I thought the movie Hey Happy sucked (even though it's from Winnipeg). But then again I'm not much of a connoisseur of the gay camp genre, was never into the garbage hill rave scene, and never kissed Jeremy Yuen.

I'd even go so far to say that it's the worst movie I've ever seen.

CNET: Man faces jail for Web sales of CDs.

So some guy sells 10 copies of a live performance by Russell Crowe's band (on eBay) and pockets $700 and is now facing $100,000 in fines and a year in jail!

Watch it folks. It's a Brave New World out there.

The Globe: 'Mr. Schneider ran a business from his prison cell breeding and selling killer dogs, including the two animals that killed Ms. Whipple.' (full article). Now how exactly does one breed dogs in jail again?

Not to make light of sexual assault but this Globe headline was rather eye catching: Bamboo dildo ruled a weapon in sexual assualt.

Also, checkout the headline below today's main front page picture.

And what's up with Tom Cruise and Scientology? I thought he was cooler than that.

To understand just how chaotic music licensing can be check out 2manydjs story of the making of their CD (via Pho):
it's been almost three years in the making, it took one record company employee more than six months of hard labour, 865 e-mails, 160 faxes and hundreds of phone calls to contact over 45 major and independent record-companies. a total amount of 187 different tracks were involved from which 114 got approved, 62 refused and 11 were un-trackable.
They even have some choice quotes like this one from an anonymous record company person 'i'm sick of it, please, no more phonecalls..i can't afford myself doing so much work for such little output!'

I'd tell you my own music licensing run in story but I fear the repurcussions of doing so (even though it was for a good cause).

Wired: Anti-Copy Bill Hits D.C.
The bill, called the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act (CBDTPA), prohibits the sale or distribution of nearly any kind of electronic device -- unless that device includes copy-protection standards to be set by the federal government.
The computer you now own could soon be illegal. Scary! (So John I would put off that laptop purchase till you can get one with the proper copy protection standards).
