| psychedelia, '60s, '70s, and '80s garage rock, underground, progressive,
| punk, blues, soul, reggae, and jazz.

Beijing Subway Single Journey Ticket Route Map: Made by Wikipedia [techblog86
EXCLUSIVE]
,----[ Quote ]
| Obviously, they had no idea what the GFDL meant. Quite frankly, the guy that
| did the map could sue them — but we’ve never seen a GFDL lawsuit. Meanwhile,
| we’re not sure how the guy that drew the map felt having his work “updated”
| (aka “altered”) and stuck on the front of the average Beijing Subway Single
| Journey Ticket.

Steal This Film Creators are Calling for Coders
,----[ Quote ]
| The creators of the copyright-critical movies Steal This Film and Steal This
| Film 2 are building a platform called VODO aimed at helping filmmakers get
| paid for releasing their works on file-sharing networks. The idea is to make
| VODO a feature of P2P clients as well as media players, so users can donate
| right when they download or watch a free movie.
|
| [...]
|
| VODO is announcing a "code sprint" for developing a GPL video fingerprinting
| tool and is testing the GPL Foosic libraries for this application.

Defendant: RIAA abusing courts to shore up "failing business model"
,----[ Quote ]
| After the lawsuit was filed, Njuguna said she boxed up the PC reportedly used
| for infringement and purchased a new one. She then filed a series of
| counterclaims to the RIAA's lawsuit in an attempt to have the lawsuit
| dismissed and her name cleared. One of those accuses the record labels of
| failing to negotiate in good faith.
|
| [...]
|
| Njugana also accuses the RIAA of engaging in deceptive and unfair trade
| practices, arguing that the record labels have demonstrated repeated behavior
| that has an "adverse effect on the public interest." She also cites former
| RIAA defendant Tanya Andersen's lawsuit (which seeks class-action status) as
| evidence that, unless the courts step in at some point, the RIAA will
| continue its campaign.
