Of course, I would rather download movies down a nice fat fiber optic pipe instead of having to rent from the store - taking them back on time is such a drag! BUT check out http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/00/02/cyber/cy berlaw/18law.html. Yahoo/Broadcast.com is a Stalker! And they are being sued for it in Fort Worth, Texas ...... I beinging to think that cookies are not worth it. Sure, it is damn near impossible to surf with cookies turn off but maybe it is time to create an open source browser that just toss them all way .... I dunno. I'm just sooo sick of this corporate pigs who think that have the right to stalk me and whore for my eyeballs yet want to make reselling old software illegal (UCITA), reverse engineering illegal (MPAA vs. DeCSS/UCITA again), sharing music with porn comeons and a sea of dead links illegal (RIAA vs. Napster) and again reverse engineering a sin (Napster vs. David Weekly, the hypocritcs!), bully some artists domain (The etoy.WAR!) and on and on and on....I'm in danger of turning into a latter Lenny Bruce - after he lost his sense of humor....The recent DOS attacks are lame sure. But it's being to be understandable ....... sheesh "can't we all get along? Can't we people?" ....... Well maybe (with apologies to Thomas Jefferson) the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with packets of cyberfreedom fighters and capitalistpigs.com. The coolest moment in all of this so far is when the etoy.WAR forced eToys.com's stock way down. No violence - just (in the spirit of Xena, the account) "BANKRUPT THEM ALL!!!!" ....
