feel free to air it out, i like having these kinds of discussions[/b]

how about copyright considerations?  as a law student, i'm sure you're familair with the rap...  you're allowed keeping a back-up of the music as long as you own the original, so by selling the disk you're transfering your license thus you should delete the MP3s yadda yadda wet blanket wet blanket...
 
 for sale: one glass house, minor repairs needed due to stone-throwing.

agreed, this is the elephant in the room ... and frankly i'm not completely comfortable openly discussing my own legal jeopardy on here, but let's just say that i love my MP3s ... if push came to shove i'd probably just sign up for one of those napster/rhapsody monthly licensing deals

that's a real cop-out, i don't see any ref making that call against ANY player in that situation, it's simply too close and the default position in an end-game scenario is no call, whether it be goaltending, foul, whatever ... if you looked closely, your bald center leaned into a pick on rivers a few seconds earlier that sprung the shooter to the rim, that definitely could have been called, but what ref would do so in a last-play situation?
 
 ed hightower (who, incidentally, was killing us all game) was the ref with the responsibility to call goaltending on that play ... hightower is widely considered one of the best refs in college hoops, if he decided not to call it, then i trust his judgment

 Hope to do it again in March at the Garden.

this is the truth right here, you guys definitely beat yourselves on the charity stripe and deserved to win that game ... send me a PM if you're going to the garden, i absolutely love that tourney

It was the legal argument and I withdrew my comment primarily because it's not likely anyone's home is going to raided over the issue

ya think?  if the RIAA can sue a midwestern house wife for a quarter million, i wouldn't put it past them... they just need some time to free up the lawyers.  
 
 hey hoya, looking for a job after you graduate? (kidding, of course).

i hereby rescind this statement  

[Frank Gallagher]

What's going to happen if someone steals your mp3 or computer? You're fucked aren't you?

[HoyaSaxa03]

admittedly, i haven't given much thought to someone "stealing my MP3" ... i guess i'd just have to tip my hat to their ingenuity
 
 stealing my computer? doesn't seem like any different calculus on my part then protecting a music collection on CD, cassette, vinyl, what have you ... i guess i just have to hope noone breaks into my house and hauls out my tower
 
 i have ~155 GB of music right now, most of which is backed up on DVDs which i leave over at a friend's house ... with the price of hard drives plummeting, i'm considering just buying one strictly for backups, would make it a lot easier ... if i had any money i'd get a safe-deposit box and toss a backed-up hard drive in there (how expensive are those boxes to rent?)

I had one at Chevy Chase bank and paid $37 per year. It was a small one for passports etc so I imagine a larger one would be a whopping $80 per year or something...

I had no clue these were so rare.  Time to start eBaying!
 
 As I mentioned to you in a PM, I'm taking a similar initiative, although mine is more for space than anything else...I just don't have the room for such a huge physical collection.  I'm taking a slower route, though.  I'm phasing out CDs and replacing only essential (to me, anyway) CDs with vinyl before removing.

actually that's not bad at all, i could probably fit a hard drive in one of the small ones ... take it out every few months to backup and toss it back in again ... hmmm

that makes sense to me, i'm kind of ripping the band-aid off here ... it definitely feels weird to let some of my favorite albums go out the mailbox, but i really never listened to the actual CDs anyway ... and trolling ebay for vinyl is a lot of fun =), paying $15-20 for a smiths or 'mats LP doesn't seem that bad

[nkotb]

Try $130 for an original Ween "The Pod" album.  Oof.
