Wow.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wasn't November when Bittorent added porn?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've heard that stat a lot. I've also seen it disputed.

Where/how is the best place to get one song online? I've seen you mention various places, but I'm willing to drop a dollar or so just to get a copy of Ozzy's "Mama I'm Comin' Home." I've got a dial-up connection on Win98 with IE6. There's got to be some place that panders to my run-of-the-mill setup.

Have you tried iTunes?
Which reminds me -- MusicMatch JukeBox has a super-tagging feature which tries to look up an MP3 in the CDDB based on its filename. Very good for clearing up stuff that was sloppily tagged.
I can't find that functionality in iTunes. Does it exist?

Not tried anyplace, yet. Figured I'd ask the experts.

Thing is, I'm not absolutely convinced SuprNova and the other tracker sites are doing anything illegal. The only thing they do is provide links to files hosted on other sites, and those files themselves don't constitute copyrighted material.
But that doesn't help the guys who host the tracker sites fight the lawsuits.

I can confirm that iTunes has several versions of this song available.
