Fileshareing Report

I finished my research project on fileshareing this afternoon and have collected a very strong stack of refference material. Being that it was a research project I feel it only necessary to publish my findings. (If you are hopeing for the finished speach that may be a while) Below are what I felt to be the best refferences:

• EFF: Let the Music Play


• EFF: Making P2P Pay Artists


• Jeff Coleman's ethics of fileshareing


• CRIA's Own Study Counters P2P Claims


• CRIA: P2P Use = Music Purchase

Makes for some very interesing reading.

A Mind's Edge is defined, but not confined

Does human thought have limits? Does it, isn't the brain just some overgrown processor of information. It recieves signals, interprets them, and then produces a result based on prior experience of some sort. It can't program itself, a person canot will themeslevels to gain intelligence or knowledge, it must be sought after and thirsted for. This is what makes knowledge so pure a desire, to atain it, one must be ernest in his pursuit. Obviously, since knowledge can be gained, then a mind's boundaries can be expanded. This is what i hope to do with this blog. Expand not only my own thoughts and boundaries, but also the readers. Afterall, wasn't it commonly belived the Earth itself had boundaries that were un-bridgeble?
