Not really. If I search something on Google, unless I'm searching kiddie pics or something, then it's between me and Google. Viacom have no more entitlement to that information than any random guy in the street. If I'm paranoid, it's only cos they're all plotting against me.

Pete Townshend is an inspiration to all of us, in a myriad of ways.

And it's not that I don't think this info is known... it's that I don't think it should be. Letting them get away with it just because it's already going on doesn't sit right with me. But I'm young, and yet to be completely crushed by the world's ways.

My guess is the ruling will be appealed to a higher court.

though im not a fan of the who, pete townsend's fuck you attitude is something i can relate to.

but how can it not be known? it already is. is it the fact that youve only now become aware of it and the fact that viacom is involved? i wouldnt mind that a behemoth the size of viacom be made aware that what i listen to is not the shit they push.

What I'm objecting to is the fact that this court decision would legitimise them having access to the info. If I wanted Viacom to know what I was watching, I'ld write them a letter with a detailed list.

that's what i don't understand... why spend so much money, do so much work, ensuring that they get this info... if there's absolutely nothing that they can/will do with it. It makes no sense.

my problem is legitimising and legalising it for them. I thought my problem is pretty obvious. They have no right to that information.

Thank you.

Stuff White People Like
#26 Manhattan (now Brooklyn too!)

Often times if you ask a white person about where to travel, you will get a lot of responses. But if you ask them about New York, white people will go nuts. They love the city universally and all either live there, have lived there, will live there or want to live there.

White people like New York because it has artists, restaurants, a subway, history, diversity, plays, and other white people. It literally has everything white people need to thrive! The only thing it’s missing is nature, but Central Park is right there, and since you are walking all the time, you are outside!

If you are from New York, tell this to a white person. They will instantly be interested in you “what part of New York? and you are really from there?” When they inevitably tell you about your home town (”I know this great italian place…”) you should respond by saying “man, I thought place was only known to New Yorkers.”

Another secret fact about white people, if you are in group setting and the topic of New York City comes up, find the highest ranking white person and say “oh, are you from New York?”

To them, this means you are calling them cultured, cool, and urban. They will respond with something like “oh, well, I’ve spent a lot of time there,” or “I lived there for three years.” You will have instantly become more popular than all other people in the group.
