   I wish the same existed for BBC music broadcasts. Their DJs are excellent. I had tons of their broadcasts on an external HD but my business partner thought it was his speaker and threw it away.

   No regrets, things have worked out well. Would have benefited from studied something other than finance - electrical eng., CS, or statistics. Spent my first 8 years doing fund analysis/risk mgmt and then managing a small team at a la

   Thanks for posting this - that is interesting. Have you used this tablet? I found reviews on its predecessor, but not much on this one (other than apparent sponsored reviews).

   Thanks for letting us know; you are correct- I didn't see the indictment. I read the article quickly and came here to see what people were saying. I saw a lot of debate about "% of piracy," so I commented. Wow the executives were deep in

    I agree with your thought process-- however, there is no reason to talk about what % of the service was used for piracy and what % wasn't. Non-owner/operator users should be viewed as completely separate from the owners and operators' and
