It seems that just about every blog out there is reporting that the RIAA is now saying that ripping MP3s from CDs that you’ve purchased constitutes unauthorized use. They all point to this article on the Recording Industry vs. The People blog, which unequivocally states:
The RIAA’s brief makes the novel contention, contradicting its lawyers’ arguments at the Supreme Court in MGM v. Grokster, that making personal copies of songs from one’s CD onto one’s computer is an infringement.
Unfortunately, that’s misleading at best and deceitful at worst. If you actually read the RIAA’s Supplemental Brief, it quickly becomes apparent that the RIAA is arguing that ripping CDs and placing them into Kazaa’s shared folder constitutes infringement. This, of course, is a completely different animal.
But I guess it doesn’t lend itself to snappy headlines. And God forbid someone in the blogging world actually take the time to check a source before gulping down the Kool-Aid®.
Update: It looks like Techdirt got it right. Kudos.
First, congratulations to the Boston Redsox. You guys pwnd the Rockies, plain and simple.
Second, Rockies, don’t feel bad. You played the best you could, but you were simply out-classed. It happens.
Third, what a boring World Series that turned out to be. Dear God.

I finally received my copy of Leopard from Amazon yesterday and started rolling it out today. As of right now, I only have the wife’s iBook to go. I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it, so what follows is a brief overview.
On my MacBook Pro at work, I experienced the dreaded blue screen. Removing /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle took care of that problem. For some odd reason, all accounts other than root had been marked as non-administrative, so I had to login in as root to reset my userids correctly. Other than this, everything seems to be working fine.
On my MacBook Pro at home, everything worked fine except that I had to reboot (following the initial reboot) to get the wireless operational. The network looked fine, but it refused to query the DNS servers for name resolution. I could ping by IP address but not name. The reboot corrected the problem.
The Mac Pro (G5) installation was smooth, but I don’t believe the Mozy client has been updated yet. It’s giving me fits.
So, all in all, it was a smooth upgrade. I haven’t really kept up with all the new toys that Leopard provides, so I’m sure the next week or so will be equal parts education and frustration. Yay for learning. I am enjoying Spaces though. I just need to find a hot key combination that doesn’t interfere with TextMate.ßß

Dear God, if anything ever qualified as “an ass whooping,” tonight’s Game 1 is a hands-down contender. What the hell happened out there? It was like watching Boston play a local elementary school. At the time of this writing, the score is an embarrassing 13 to 1 and I’ve officially stopped paying attention.
Wow. Unless Colorado snaps to, this could be a very short World Series.
