POPSMonty Python, buried treasure & the pirate bay
In the Pirate Bay trial closing statements, the defence held the Pirate Bay site didn't hold any copyright films or music -- it merely acted as a search engine -- and that no copyrighted content passed through it anyway. The prosecution had failed to produce any uploaders or downloaders, and had not shown their actions were illegal where they happened to live. Wired said: In the courtroom, the defendants quickly abandoned their revolutionary, free-culture ideals in favor of the simpler philosophy embraced by criminal defendants since time immemorial: I'm Not Responsible. The verdict is due on April 17. "Steal This Film" is a film series documenting the movement against intellectual property produced by The League of Noble Peers and released via the BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol. Part One, combines accounts from prominent players in the dish piracy culture (The Pirate Bay, Piratbyrån, and the Pirate Party) with found material, propaganda-like slogans and Vox Pops.

POPSPhilosophical Latin Dictionary Philosophers like using Latin, even if they don't know what the phrases mean. If they had any sense, they'd be using Greek. I've only clipped the top and bottom of the list, but the list is fairly long.

POPSUSA's Dark New Legacy--Bush's Torture policy
This is a long and detailed article on Bush/Cheney's dark work..."We don't torture" is a huge lie. Read it at risk of sickening your heart and learning the sad, sad truth. Comment by vox persona on Alternet.com: The nightmare that is the CheneyBu$hCo crime syndicate still has a year to run, but its reverberations will be felt for generations. We went from 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' to 'Torture, detention and the pursuit of extraordinary rendition'. Homeland Security? Why not Fatherland Security? Or Motherland security? We've adopted nazi nomenclature, co-opted their techniques, and make no mistake there are dark forces run amok. If we can survive the torture that is this illegitimate administration, maybe, just maybe, we stand a chance of turning this thing around. Bush has squandered any moral high ground and reduced us to the lowest common denominator of our enemy. We've been spending over $4,000 per second since this "war' in Iraq started, in a bald-faced full

POPSAbyssMedia audio utilities -- I recommend these I got i-Sound and Audio Converter Plus from GiveawayOfTheDay.com for free, but I am considering buying them to install on another computer. i-Sound ($30) is a quick, reliable, lightweight direct-to-MP3 recorder, with a simple, clean interface. Does not hog resources or create huge temp files like Audacity.
