So is it true what they say:

"4 years jail for murdering Michael Jackson, and 5 years for downloading his music."

If so, strange world we exist in.

Hello, I'm a student looking to build an impedance tube setup and need some expert knowledge on the microphones. For those unfamiliar with impedance tube they basically setup a standing wave along the length of the tube and the pressure is measured at various locations which in turn allows you to calculate the acoustic impedance at the sample end. Here is a pic:

You have me intrigued! I get the idea of standing waves from the frequencies that align themselves with the length / tuning of the tube, and you're taking measurements and analysing them at various points along the tube (that's kinda right, yeah?), but curious how is it used in practice? And what is it typically used for? Even Google's left me stumped.

Ableton Live is undoubtedly gonna be a strong number one suggestion (with the thrill of dropping in/out various audio clips in a non-linear style, to build fresh, improvised arrangements), however, Cubase, Logic (Mac only) and Pro Tools will manage sample editing and quantized placement along a linear timeline (start to finish, left to right, from A to B), with full MIDI sequencing support. I've not worked with MIDI in Ableton at all really, though I'm sure there'll be someone to chime in with its pros and cons.

From news.com.au this morning...

THE FBI today shut down popular file-sharing website Megaupload.com and charged the site's founders and five others with running "an international organised criminal enterprise" responsible for "massive online piracy".

...generated "more than $175 million in criminal proceeds"

...caused "more than half a billion dollars in harm to copyright owners" through the piracy of "numerous types of copyrighted works,"

So is the net closing in? Or there's simply too many fish pirates in the sea to even make a dent in the scale of copyright infringement?
