MAN, this music rocks. I've checked out the 30th anniversary CD from the library, and the best track on the whole CD is the overture from "The Inner Light". I'm ripping this one. Gotta get my band to play it...

The Inner Light is one of the one and a half episodes of TNG I've never seen for some reason.
The half is the first half of "Lonely Amoung Us", and after watching the second half, I'm not that desperate to see the first part.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Irish actors have to redub WHAT voices? Picard, Riker & Co. or the guest stars?
I mean, I would imagine the guest stars, but, who knows?

Speaking o' which. Omega, weren't you the guy bitching about the evils of Napster? How are you so different from the guy who downloads songs from Napster as compared to the guy who borrows a CD from the library and, er, "steals" the track he wants? Jus' wonderin.

The reason the BBC didn't show this episode (The High Ground) is due to the single line in the episode that dealt with something in regards to submitting to the demands of terrorists, which, Data said, saw the successful reunification of Ireland in 2024 or something. Ceding to terrorism and the IRA would've been a potential hot potato with such an allegory, so the BBC decided not to show it. Sky One did though.

I get it. I figured it was probably something along those lines.

Actually, ripping is perfectly legal as long as you continue to own the CD in question. The copyright statement says you own it for noncommercial use in your home or on yoour person. If you buy the soundtrack you can rip it, listen to it on your computer, tape it to listen to in your car, burn it on a CD as a mix for your private use.
You cannot however, copy it for someone else or sell it to someone else, and this loosely includes sharing the file with someone online with or without your knowledge. And if you sell the CD you are obligated to destroy your files, tapes and copies of it or it is pirating.
But I dont do that. in the time it took me to type this i downloaded 3 songs off of Gnutella.

There was a time in the 80's and early 90's when Sinn Fein representatives couldn't be shown speaking on air unless their voices were overdubbed by someone else, usually an Irish actor for realism's sake. I believe even Stephen Rea did the gig for a while. I can't recall what the exercise was intended to prove, though. . .
Omega once made a big deal (well, not so big) about Napster being illegal. I believe it was because another member mentioned he sold burned CDs ... Omega made the point that getting music tracks without paying for them is illegal, wrong, and very un-Christian!

As you pointed out, he was selling CDs. I don't so much as have a burner, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't do that. And I never mentioned Christianity in that discussion.

You borrow a CD from the library. Some corporation paid money to produce that CD, and the library paid money to buy it from them. You borrowed the CD from the library, and are adding a track to your WinAmp files (or whatever you use to play MP3's). In all "fairness", the corporation which produced the CD should be paid for you to own a copy of tracks it owns. Since you are not paying the corporation, you are stealing from it.
Now, mind you, that's not what I think. Personally, if I hear "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm five times an hour on the radio, I don't see whats so bad about having a copy on my PC. I just didn't think that was the way you pro-Big Business Republicans saw things.

I could just as easily perpetually renew my check-out of the CD over the library system. No one ever checks it out, anyway. Would it make any difference? Under any circumstances, the only reason I want it is to experiment with making a MIDI file of it. When that's done, I'll delete it.
