Not to mention the blatant violation of intellectual property rights 
(and thereby the laws that govern them, which are, to varying 
degrees, applicable in all of our respective countries - unless we 
have some lurkers from some of the Pacific Rim areas where copyright 
laws are rather weak and poorly enforced). I'd hate to see list 
members publicly engage in activities which could get them busted 
(especially when we all know the NSA actually monitors all email 
traffic with massive AI systems... and if it doesn't now, the NAC RSA 
of 2185 certainly will and I'd hate to see the Flag Staff victorious  
over the Hellspawn Kravak be dragged off in Force Manacles for 
failing to maintain CommSec.....). 

I'm sure we can all discuss what we think of as great music, and make 
recommendations to each other about which music to buy, and maybe 
about where to buy it. But I think burning CDs would be questionable 
(all right, downright illegal). I'm not even sure that my own 
practice of burning remixes from CDs I own is legal, although I'm 
quite sure the artists already received royalties from the albums 
from me since I did buy them. 

Anyway, this is a games forum, and it does bring to mind the question 
of what some of the National anthems in 2185 sound like...

I assume the NAC anthem is God Save The King. What about the OU? and 
is FCT the last preserver of the Star Spangled Banner or is it 
something like The Yellow Rose of Texas? (grin). What about the ESU? 
Something Chinese? And the NSL (Neu Swabian League Uber Alles 
perhaps? Or, as mentioned previously, something by VAG-ner?). And 
what of the FSE? Le Marseille? 

Just curious to solicit opinions. 

Tom.
