I always transcode everything I download to the same efficient formats (uploaders almost always use inefficient codecs - why?), and I always replace those terrible tags and filenames with neat ones, so my collection effectively looks like it all came from one single place, wich could very well be my (imaginary) collection of original, legal CDs and DVDs... Is there something I am missing here, or am I safe to go?

Or maybe it's just time to stop flying... (Not that I fly alot, last time I stepped in a plane was like 6 years ago)]]>Jul 20th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/
I use a generic $20 mp3 player (so that if I "have an accident" with it I don't care).. No way to tell the legal from the illegal, really, unless they are going to do some magic :-D]]>Jul 21st 2008 5:02AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/
I fail to see how this could be even the least bit enforceable. The only media they could be assured is pirated would be anything not yet released, such as a bootleg movie or leaked album....and even then, the logistics of keeping personnel up to date on what's out and what isn't would be overwhelming.]]>Jul 21st 2008 11:37AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/Jul 20th 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/Jul 20th 2008 2:49PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/god only knows what else they'd b e looking for on your laptop.

Any song that says 'pirated' next to it means it's an illegal download.

If anyone has more than 5 songs tagged 'pirated,' we call the electro-plumber and have them seal off the internet tubes to the offenders computer and cell phone.

Then we will send the electro-plumbers to the internet HQ and have them unplug tpb and usenet.

It's gotta work. Why wouldn't it?]]>Jul 21st 2008 5:28PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/http://www.switched.com/2008/07/20/airports-may-scan-for-illegal-downloads-on-mobile-devices/Jul 26th 2008 8:10AM
