I think you answered your own question, there, fella. :)

Re #200: From what little I've had the time to follow, the Co$
did it by making specious allegations of DMCA violations and
invoking the "notice and take-down" provision against Google's
mirrors. I gather they pretty much deleted xenu.net from Google.
xenu.net is hosted in Europe, outside the reach of the US courts.
However, in order to contest the specious take-down, xenu.net
would have to submit itself to the judgement of US courts in
Scientology's choice of venue. This means that the asshole
with the most money wins the battle, not the side that's right.
Yet another reason why the entire DMCA is evil and must be abolished.
Re #204: Now you know why I don't listen to commercial radio any more.

Google bas backed off a little -- they've relisted Xenu's homepage. The
request was apparently only to remove the pages that actually had the
claimed copyright violations on them.

((Metadiscussion: now that Agora has rolled, I'll start the next
item in this series later today or this weekend. I wanted to give
Agora a chance to grow a few less argumentative items in its
front parlor.))

Russ, if you don't listen to radio, don't buy commercial CDs, and don't
download music, what sources *do* you use? (I'm also wondering if you watch
TV and attend movies, or if you've taken your attitudes to Keesanian lengths.)
I suppose one's music consumption could be limited to concerts, but all but
the smallest of those are tied up in the same gristmill.

Re #216: I listen to non-commercial radio (WDET), and I do buy CDs
(mostly used). At this time I do not have a television hooked up
and functional.

h, makes sense. I don't enjoy the bulk of what's on public radio.
I'll admit, I'm a slave to the corporate entertainment industry.

I like some of the public radio talk shows, dislike others. I often
enjoy the jazz programs on WEMU.
