Guess what.. when I let my coworker borrow my Windows OS CD, I didn't call Bill Gates and let him know. Plenty of those posts here. If you don't like someone's ideas just simply move on, you do not have to argue and attempt to prove your mastery of the topic. That is not helpful to anyone.

To be clear, I would share any of my music with friends or family. You say you would not. Two different opinions. So be it. This is not a debate forum on music.

Once again, and for the sake of the others, please drop it. :thumbup:

Dontate to the Red Cross

I'm not agitated or annoyed, i'm just responding in like kind to your "wtf's", "what's wrong with you" and "try some decaf" ridiculousness. Your propensity to lecture is a little annoying, but nothing I can't deal with.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

have a good weekend.

The thrid machine is a terabyte server with 1.7TB of storage (for the video). The fourth machine stores (and serves) mp3s via 4 200GB Seagate 10K drives. The last machine serves video into our home theatre and controls the lights, curtains, shakers etc. The kitchen can a Vaio all-in-one, and each bedroom has a PC. Each PC can watch time shifted TV at any time, simultaneously. They can also look up the programming schedule and decide what to record (SageTV). The living room also has a gigabyte feed with a Media MVP which feeds the 64" TV, again for timeshifted TV, movies and mp3s. I'm pretty happy with the setup, it's taken a year to design it and get it all working nicely :)

now THAT'S one hell of a setup. maybe you can spare some time to come help me with our new broadcast center and master control ! :) :thumbup:

(For more info on what's legal and what's not, check out our FAQ.) Even better yet here's the downloading 101 resource http://tinyurl.com/4rjg5. Now we do want to obey the law right? Right.
OBTW I thought the info would be useful so I'm not interested in debating weather the law is right or not. Till it's changed it's the law and that good enough for me.
