Just saw in the news that Aleksei Tolstokozhev has been murdered. Apparently, he has been shot several times, with one last bullet to the head - the signature style of the Russian Mafia. Tolstokozhev was the man behind up to 30% of our beloved Viagra/Megadik/Penis Enlargement spams.

Seems this Spamassassin thing is even more effective than I thought.

Edit from later on: It seems like the story was a hoax. Ah well, it being on The Register and Slashdot leant it enough credibility for me to believe it. Besides, it seemed plausible enough…

copyfree

As Mr. Häck would say: The dumbest volunteer at 20 Minutes, a free Swiss newspaper (and worth every penny!), strikes again…

Now, what Amazon are offering is music without any Digital Restrictions, so without copy protection. And what, pray tell, does one call that? Of course: Copy-free music! Can we therefore assume that whoever wrote this doesn't use protection? I know, cheap joke, but it's before my 2nd morning coffee. You might well find that post edited later.

(Note for the Görmen speakers out there… it should be “Kopierschutzfrei”…)
