strange world
Posted in :: Apropos of Nothing ::

Last spring I was in Firenze, and lost my wallet. This year I haven't been able to log on to Orkut, because I couldn't recall my username. Orkut just sent me a email which told me I'd be kicked out if I didn't sign in-- and included my username. I logged in, and admist the stupid spam and weird come-ons in my "scraps" I found this.

It makes me believe in the basic decency of humanity (although a search on google instead of orkut woudl have been more effective.)

Amazing.

Pogue’s Posts - Technology - New York Times Blog

It goes to the tune of the Village People song “Y.M.C.A.” Ready? Cue the disco drums!

“R.I.A.A.”

Young man,
You were surfing along,
And then, young man,
You downloaded a song,
And then, dumb man,
Copied it to your ‘Pod,
Then a phone call came to tell you:

You’ve just been sued by the R.I.A.A.!
You’ve just been sued by the R.I.A.A.!
Their attorneys say, you committed a crime,
And there’d better not be a next time!"

Defintely go to his blog and ready (and sing along) to the rest...
