Perhaps I picked the name because I used to get migraines. Those can come with focal neurological symptoms called "aura," ranging from nausea and vertigo all the way up to hallucinations.
Or maybe I'm a big hippy.
Or else I created the username fifteen years ago, it seeemed to sound good at the time, and I no longer remember the exact reason.
What's the difference?
I didn't say it was a miracle. "Miraculous" as an adjective can mean something looks similar to a miracle. It does not necessarily imply that an event is literally due to the intervention of a supernatural divine force.
But hey, thanks for your input anyhow, Easily Offended Overly Dramatic Atheist Guy Who Takes The Slightest Excuse To Announce His Atheist Atheism. I keep hearing stories about you but it's nice to finally meet you in person.
"Miraculous" should be reserved for things that are difficult to believe, or at least wildly improbable. If the satellite fell out of the sky and hit the guy in the face, but he walked off unscathed, then you could say he "miraculously escaped injury."
But being missed by the debris is not a miracle. It just demonstrates how small a target a person is.
Easy there, that makes sense and this is the government we are talking about
Oh, if we're talking about the UK government, that's even easier. Just mention to a local official that the music contains lots of "sharp" notes. They'll spring into nanny mode, and require that all the speakers be entombed in Nerf so that nobody cuts themselves.
"Youths" don't stay young forever. Before very long they'll be adults, with legitimate reasons to be at stores and train stations and bus stops, but they still won't like the music. Any place that continues to play it will be driving away a whole lot of customers.
The RIAA has an additional argument that seems to me to have some validity, namely the expense of obtaining certified copies on an expedited basis. But isn't that actually a basis for a request for a continuance, or for permission to submit the certificates after the start of trial?
Unfortunately they have painted themselves into a corner on that one. The defendant had been asking for delay, because she recently changed attorneys, but RIAA argued strenuously that the hearing date must not be changed. They were successful on that point. But now that they find themselves without these documents they really need, they cannot contradict themselves and start arguing for more time.
Seriously, once you notice the resemblance it's impossible to see it as anything else.

If your computer is playing it to you, you obviously did download it, and it obviously resides somewhere in your system's memory.
They thought about that. The audio data itself never actually gets to your computer; it all resides on the server and is played from there.
They just need really, really big speakers so you can hear the music from your house.
