Hobbies: Music
Internet Music
In short, I think music should be available for download from the Internet in a fair-use manner (little to no DRM) at a fair price (buck-a-song).  If the Music Industry (RIAA, dumb artists, etc.) can't get that through their greedy heads and don't follow these simple and profitable ideals they can go fuck themselves - Pirate away me mateys!  Yeeyarrgg!!!  (P.S. Thanks to wonderful legislation such as the DMCA, despite seeming to be the Right Thing, it is illegal.  Don't say I didn't warn you.)

In long, well, I have a great deal to say about the subject.  For now, the above will have to stand.  When I find the time I will go into detail and include a nice long rant.
