The Stupid Knob:

Universal Music Group, the world’s largest record company, contends the wildly popular Web sites YouTube and MySpace are violating copyright laws by allowing users to post music videos and other content involving Universal artists.

“We believe these new businesses are copyright infringers and owe us tens of millions of dollars,? Universal Music CEO Doug Morris told investors Wednesday at a conference in Pasadena. “How we deal with these companies will be revealed shortly.?

Pffffffffffffffffffffffft!

A Freebie From Suzie DeCree:

The Delay Lama is the first VST instrument to offer both vocal synthesis and a real-time animated 3D interface. Its advanced monophonic vocal synthesis engine enables your computer to sound just like an Eastern monk, with real-time, high resolution control over the vowel sound. What's more, the plug-in window displays a 3D animation of a singing monk, that reacts directly to your input!

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question:

Q: You're probably familiar with the 1957 holiday classic Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms. What was on the flip side of that record?

A: Captain Santa Claus And His Reindeer Space Patrol!

True to his name, Dave Swift was the first one with the right answer. He wins a copy of Guitar and Drum Trainer courtesy of Ryan Smith over at RenegadeMinds.com.

There was a bit of a snafu we came across for the first time this week. Dave had already won a copy of Guitar and Drum Trainer in a previous contest. Till now, we haven't had any rules about winning multiple contests for the same prize. So to be fair we've also awarded a prize to the second person to answer correctly, and that's Dave "SpoonZ" Spooner from down under. Congratulations Dave!

Also coming in with the correct answer this week but just a little late was Patrick Abbas, Andy Bullock, Ben Brasile and Grae Smart. Way to go!

See you next week!
