RECAP is a great chrome extension that allows you to download certain documents that have already been downloaded by another RECAP user. It's not fool proof, but has helped me save a few bucks.
Comment Spotify ads support artists and the company (Score 0) 172
So much vitriol against ads here. We're talking about a service that provides a TON of songs. Anyone remember how hard it was listening to music 20 years ago? Waiting for a CD? Or the song to come on the radio so you can record it?
I'm happy to pay spotify to not hear those ads. I've been a subscriber for more than 2 years. Everyone complaining about not getting their service for free is, basically, a freeloader.
Good riddance.

One of my former professors is litigating this case. Although it seems like he has an uphill battle, I hope he succeeds.
Misdemeanor Plea Ends Norwich Pornography Case 260
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from the Hartford Courant:
"Almost 18 months after a pornography conviction that could have sent her to jail for 40 years was thrown out, former Norwich substitute teacher Julie Amero plead guilty to a single charge of disorderly conduct Friday afternoon. The plea deal before Superior Court Judge Robert E. Young in Norwich ends a long-running drama that attracted attention from around the world. ... She had originally been charged with 10 counts of risk of injury to a minor and later convicted on four of them. ... In June of 2007, Judge Hillary B. Strackbein tossed out Amero's conviction on charges that she intentionally caused a stream of 'pop-up' pornography on the computer in her classroom and allowed students to view it. Confronted with evidence compiled by forensic computer experts, Strackbein ordered a new trial, saying the conviction was based on 'erroneous' and 'false information.'"
