(seems to be the same ol rehash, i mean, "remix" of opinions and it 
all makes my eyes glazed over...but there is a response to the "i own 
the 8-track version of 'x' and..." question.)

for more also read the /. communities opinions:

""just because a car is sitting idling and unlocked does not mean 
that you can get in it and drive it away for your own use" -The Riaa 
Guy

I'd let anyone make a perfect copy of my car and drive away with it 
if they'd like, I still have my car."

David Bowie, father figure: "Ola Hudson--who in fact was Guns N' 
Roses guitarist Slash's mum--she was my girlfriend, you see. I 
sometimes used to put him to bed at nights, little Slash. Who'd have
