Napster was the Texas abortion bounty of copyright infringement.

I worked in tech when the internet just started going...the old web pages, especially search pages were hilarious.

They were pretty much just a collection of web sites grouped under headings: Automotive, Clothes, Travel, etc.

Too bad I wasn't smart enough to think it through and buy Amazon at a few dollars : (

But I was young and just getting started trying to make a living to feed the bambinos.

Bush (41) and (43) were fundamental to the rehabilitation of Bill Clinton (42). So was Obama (44) when Michelle struck up a friendship of sorts with Bush (43).

I don’t see anybody stepping up on behalf of Trump, at least not while he’s alive.

He’s too good a boogie man to waste on a “aren’t we swell-getting along despite our differences” gambit.

I loved Napster, got about 4GB of oldies couldn't find anywhere w/o buying an album/CD containing crap I didn't listen to when it was new.

I meant to put the comment above in your subsequent post. I messed up. I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. When I realized my mistake it was too late because once I push “publish” it’s out of my hands by then. Again, I’m truly sorry.

I ghost-wrote the same book (more or less) for Matthew Lesko (the guy who cut infomercials about how to obtain federal money). At about the same time. I never received a copy. I think they called it, "The Parents' Guide to the WWW." forgot about until now!
