Guns 'n' Roses vs Blogger
What a shocker, someone leaks a Guns 'n' Roses song and they get punished. I don't know who I should feel sorry for. Axl Rose for his mindless sad MP3 crusade or the fan that forgot just how money minded the singer is.
28-year-old Kevin Cogill posted nine tracks from the record on the website antiquiet.com in June 2008 and pleaded guilty to his crime in December. He's been given two months home detention.

Schadenfreude. I think you've pretty much covered it in the last paragraph: when we're down, we search for culture which empathises; when we're up, we search for culture which makes us see the value and worth of our current 'positive' situation. Not everyone though: some people detest dark comedy, cynical people and skeptical views. [view article]
