File Sharing Not Dead Yet So word is that the survey in December showing that file sharing had slowed down dramatically apparently wasn't terribly accurate (how about "up 35%" instead?)

83% of Musicians Offer DownloadsThe latest survey from the Pew Internet & American Life Project indicates that 83% of artists have provided free samples of their work online, and many say that free downloading has helped them sell CDs and increased the crowds at their concerts (where the artists actually make a buck or two). Only 5% say that it's hurt them. As for their own careers, more of these artists say free music downloading online has helped them than hurt them.

Doing me a favor…<ring!> <ring!> _Hello?_ Hi!  I’m with Blah-Blah Roofing, and we’re going to be in your area… _Did you say “Blah-Blah Roofing?"_ Yes.  And due to the recent storms, we’re going to be in your area… _What’s the phone number there at Blah Blah?_ XXX-XXX-XXXX… As I was saying, we’re going to be in your area and we’d like to come out and… _You do realize you’re calling a number on the Texas No-Call list, correct?_ I don’t understand. _I paid a couple of bucks to the State of Texas so I don’t get calls like this.
