Last days of disco

The Supreme Court is trying to cockblock your constitutional right to download free music. Thankfully, some of my favorite people, protestors, showed up on the scene to let their voices be heard. "Hands off my iPod!" "Save Betamax!" Err..."Free Mumia!" Heh. More here.

If the Court relies on precedent, one of the key issues in the argument is whether or not file sharing techonology has uses beyond distributing copyrighted material. The Decemberists to the rescue! They've thrown the video for a track from their new album up on BitTorrent, no doubt depriving record companies of the profits they desperately need to promote the new J. Lo album. Although, it remains unclear how many people want to listen to some whiny dude strummy-strummy-la-la about pirates and shit.
