Can anyone provide a sound file for the recent Howard Dean concession speech. I am interested only in the "Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh!!!" part. Thanks

<p>In its largest round of lawsuits, the recording industry sued 532 unnamed people on Wednesday, accusing them of sharing copyrighted songs over the Internet. The move was intended to show that despite a recent legal setback, the industry was not letting up on its crackdown on file sharers.</p>

I've finally completed indexing, by date, all of the FreeRepublic.com 'Terri' threads. There are four hundred and eighteen ( 418 )of them at this moment. It's all in a Quattro Pro file, and I'm trying to figure out how to put the file on the internet and link it to FR for FReeper review. I want to post it to the internet as a read only file, and I'll simply renew it ( replace it )daily.

(The following is an email I just received from my active-duty military son. Any Freeper assistance would be sincerely appreciated! Thanks.) I am running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional.    When I click on the Start menu, select Search, and then click For Files or Folders, the Search Results window opens up. I have searched for many words and numbers stored in files on my hard drive by typing them into the Containing Text field and have come to realize that Windows is storing these words and numbers somewhere. For example, I've been searching for my social security number on my...

The recording industry is providing its most detailed glimpse into some detective-style techniques it has employed as part of its secretive campaign against online music swappers. Court papers including those disclosures were filed against a Brooklyn woman who is fighting RIAA efforts to identify her for allegedly sharing nearly 1,000 songs over the Internet. The recording industry disputed her defense that songs on her family's computer were from compact discs she had legally purchased.

I'd like to review all methods of sharing files online. Rating them by Security, Speed, Accuracy, Availability, and Selection. I've always used Kazza. I've used it for years. It was one of the best ways to download music, software, games, movies, videos, etc. It had a decent selection of music. Especially if the music was new. If the music was new then you could almost always find it there. Speed of this type of file sharing software depended on the person downloading, and the person being downloaded from. Unforunately Kazza has been a target of the RIAA and siince it...

Eleven boycotting senators on Thursday threw the first legal punch in the fight over congressional redistricting. The Senate Democrats filed a lawsuit in Travis County district court, asking that state officials, or their deputies, be prohibited from arresting the Democrats to establish a quorum so that the Legislature may consider redrawing the state's congressional district lines. If granted, the prohibition would allow the lawmakers to return to Texas from New Mexico without the fear of being forced back to the Senate, where they left about two weeks ago. In addition to filing their lawsuit, the Democrats invited Senate Republicans to...

They used to say "home taping" was killing music, now it's meant to be internet downloaders. But the real pirates these days are crime bosses - and the rewards are plentiful. The net has given rise to many novel ways of doing business but the methods of the Recording Industry Association of America has got every twisted e-commerce scheme beaten. Last month, the association began suing hundreds of its customers. For the RIAA - which represents the major US recording companies - this makes perfect sense. The people being sued are sharing music with millions of others via peer-to-peer networks...

Why Male Leaders Cannot Have a Female Secretary?Sichuan Province in southwest China has recently formulated a new regulation forbidding male leaders to employ female secretaries, which has sparked heated discussions in various newspapers. An article in Nanfang Metropolitan Daily says the new regulation has significant meaning and can be taken as a reference by other local governments. The author of the article believes there are a few disadvantages of male leaders and female secretaries working together. In today's China, quite a few corruption cases are blamed to have been connected with female secretaries who've won the favour of their...

RIAA nails 1,000 music-lovers in 'new Prohibition' jihad By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco Posted: 19/07/2003 at 11:26 GMT The Recording Industry Association of America's attack on US culture has escalated at an alarming pace this week. On Friday the lobby group that works on behalf of the large, mostly foreign-owned, music conglomerates that own the music copyrights and distribution channels confirmed that it was serving subpoenas at the rate of 75 a day on US citizens for the crime of sharing the music they love. This signals a change of tactics for the RIAA: as now each individual file...

<p>When the recording industry said Wednesday it would sue heavy music sharers, it left one unnerving question unanswered: Just who would they consider a heavy sharer?</p> <p>In a conference call with reporters, the Recording Industry Association of America's President Cary Sherman said the group will begin collecting evidence against those who offer "substantial" amounts of music online to others over peer-to-peer networks, then will file hundreds of copyright-infringement lawsuits beginning in August. But he declined to say specifically what "substantial" means.</p>

NEW YORK (AP) -- Concert tickets, DVDs and even laptops will be used to encourage users of the online bazaar known as Kazaa to swap legal files instead of pirated movies and music. The Peer Points Manager program announced Monday will essentially be Internet file-sharing's version of frequent flyer miles. Kazaa users earn points for making legal files available to others over the Internet. The points can be redeemed for small prizes like computer games or for sweepstakes entries to win larger items. The program is being run by Altnet, a Kazaa partner trying to promote sharing of legal files...

<p>LOS ANGELES — As the record industry starts to come down hard on unauthorized music downloading on college campuses, students are responding with defiant words and defensive actions.</p> <p>The Recording Industry Association of America, which had relied on warnings and educational programs aimed at campuses, last week filed its first legal suits against students at Princeton, Michigan Tech and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The record industry says the students infringed on copyrights by operating song-sharing sites on university servers.</p>

In the strongest attempt yet to create a legitimate alternative to free music-trading sites, America Online will introduce a service today that lets users download and listen to a large catalog of songs. For $8.95 a month, users will be able to listen to a catalog of music, now at 250,000 songs and growing, on their computers. Moving songs to CD's or portable players will cost more. AOL is selling a version of a service from MusicNet, which is a consortium of RealNetworks; the BMG unit of Bertelsmann; EMI; and Warner Music, which like America Online is a unit of...

Alaska Libertarians and other anti-drug war activists have filed a lawsuit against the state's lieutenant governor for rejecting an initiative to decriminalize hemp. On January 28, the Free Hemp in Alaska (FHA) organization filed a lawsuit in Superior Court in Anchorage to force the state to place the initiative on the August 2004 ballot. In the lawsuit, FHA attorney Ken Jacobus argued that initiative backers filed enough signatures to qualify the measure, even though they failed to follow all of the state's record-keeping rules. "Why disenfranchise thousands of voters?" asked FHA Chair Scot Dunnachie. "Maybe it's because the lieutenant governor...

LOS ANGELES –– The owners of the KaZaA file-sharing network are suing the movie and recording industries, claiming that they don't understand the digital age and are monopolizing entertainment.

That lawsuit accuses Sharman of providing free access to copyright music and films to millions of Internet users in the United States.

Hilary Rosen paces the creaking oak floor of the Oxford Union debate hall, eyeing the empty pews the way a Roman gladiator might have surveyed the Colosseum. Rosen is the chair of the Recording Industry Association of America, and in a few hours she'll be standing here in a black formal gown, getting ripped to pieces. Along with several other industry executives, she's charged with defending the proposition: "This house believes that the free-music mentality is a threat to the future of music." Of course, the students of "this house" believe nothing of the sort. "I myself have about 900...
