The video is the icing on the BOL cake. The extra effort put in to make BOL all visual and movey-abouty is appreciated here.

I had to leave a comment here because my podcast was mentioned in the show and boy do I feel bad now that I (well my PC) swore in it. *hangs head in shame* Thanks for mentioning it though, you made my day :)

Okay do they not understand how this would hurt the economy?!?!?! if you suddenly start fining huge amounts or even worse sending to jail the upwards of 10% of the people in america who have likely downloaded illegally then you take people out of the work force, you take money away from them to buy anything they would of and you put a strain on the tax payer as well all to support an industry that is designed in such a way that there are very few people involved in it that make a whole lot of money in the united states and this is just serving their corporate interests not the interests of the people. If anything this will put us in a recession if we accept essentially funneling inproportionate amounts of money from the consumer to the record companies without them paying anything leading them to go not into the industry of making music but the industry of convincing the government to prosecute people who steal whatever music they have a license to.
