TIL That google offers free legal download of music in China, in a partnership with the... - 0 views

  • TIL That google offers free legal download of music in China, in a partnership with the largest record labels in the world (since 2009). All of this while they sue children for illegally sharing music in the western world. (self.todayilearned)
  • I have been watching the SOPA/PIPA drama unfold, so thought I would share something that perhaps not everyone of you may know of. It took me three years to realize that google offers a free legal way to download music for people located in China (since 2009): www.google.cn/music/ It is backed by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI Group, Universal Music and the Warner Music Group. So much for the RIAA suing families and kids in the western world for illegally sharing music for free when they give it out legally and for free - at the same time - to China. Hope Google will do the same with the MPAA for TV shows and movies. Let's just say I've been downloading like a mad man lately - legally for free :) NY Times article from 2009

  • [–]patrik667 321 points322 points323 points 6 months ago*sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onUnbelievable So let me get this straight: 1) China is made an example of internet censorship as they have most western content blocked or unavailable. 2) The US sistematically prosecutes and fines people for downloading music. 3) We use a Chinese-based proxy to download music "legally". Music that comes from the US. /I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

The World's Tallest Tree Is Hiding Somewhere In California : Krulwich Wonders... : NPR - 0 views

  • The tallest of the tall is 379 feet 4 inches, 10 feet taller than the Giant. It's now called
  • "Hyperion
  • "its mass is equivalent to 15 adult blue whales, the largest animal on earth. Each year, this tree produces enough new wood to make a 90-foot-tall tree with a trunk 12 inches in diameter. If all of Del Norte Titan were cut into boards one foot wide, 12 feet long and one inch thick, the line of planks laid end to end would stretch over a hundred miles and could build 120 average-sized houses."
