Mission Accomplished Yet Again!*
Looks like plucky online retailer amazon.com (anyone heard of these guys before?) will offer DRM-free downloads of music from 12,000 record labels. Did you even know there were 12,000 record labels left in the world? I thought the big three had bought everyone out.
At any rate, it looks like our boycott worked! Nice job, everyone!

What wrong that needs righting will we unleash our terrible power onto next?
Dude, you may want to use an expresion other than “Mission Accomplished,” that one has has some very bad karma:

Unless, of course, it’s your intention to call attention to Bush’s lies….

Google Hack: “What I want” inurl:rapidshare

I have an update to my last lame posting.
Looking for a song, artist, movie or software that you want to check out before purchasing?
Use the following Google search.
“Your Key Words” inanchor:”rapidshare|megaupload” -torrent -inurl:”rapid|rapidshare|megaupload”
This search will find your Key Words that are linked to either rapidshare or megaupload downloading sites.
If you have other favorite downloading sites you can replace both download names in the search to be able to find links to the other site.
This search is different than a site like Filesbot. Filesbot searches for the keyword as a filename at Rapidshare. Typically the file will be removed from the upload site if it’s copyrighted as per the upload sites rules. The search above skips the upload site itself and only looks for links on the net that link back to the upload site. So if a forum somewhere has a link to “The Beatles”, but the file is called TB1234.rar on rapidshare, my Google search will find it, but Filesbot won’t.
I have also added the “-torrent” so that you don’t get the Bizzillion web sites that index Bit Torrent files, but don’t really give you a link anywhere. Those types of sites are just traps for endless clicking and/or internet spyware and trojans. I should have included a removal of the keywords “hack” and/or “warez” as those types of sites are typically useless, but there is a hard 10 word limit on Google searches. Just don’t follow the sites that have those words, or words in the results. Typically it’s best to use a site that looks like it’s a forum.
Happy searching.
