Mike's old band, Mt. Rushmore, is featured in the site here:

The Stupid Knob:

The Electronic Frontier Foundation and ARS Technica reports on a latest statement (and possible filing?) by the RIAA that basically says it's illegal to rip your own CDs to your own iPod (or other portable player). They went even further and stated that it's illegal to make a backup copy of CDs you own.

Here's one of the most interesting parts of the RIAA's take on this (emphasis ours):

"Myriad online downloading services are available and offer varying types of digital rights management alternatives. For example, the Apple FairPlay technology allows users to make a limited number of copies for personal use. Presumably, consumers concerned with the ability to make back up copies would choose to purchase music from a service that allowed such copying.

"Even if CDs do become damaged, replacements are readily available at affordable prices."

Thanks for nothing!
