I Fought The Law... For The Week Ending Feb. 4, 2011

Okay, now this is just kind of silly: About 100,000 peer-to-peer lawsuits were filed in the U.S. last year, and most of the people being dragged to court are being accused of illegally downloading "adult" material. Really, who uses P2P downloading software these days, anyway? It's so 2003. —Torrent Freak Oh, don't you torrent users think you're...

in

In a move that will probably make Daniel Sullivan (Gallagher's attacker) jealous, an unknown man descended from the rafters of the arena, went...

Slash — "By The Sword" (Featuring Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale)

A bunch of people in some kind of post-apocalyptic desert fall down a hole into a futuristic warehouse hideout in the video for Slash's "By The Sword." They're then treated to a show from Slash and Andrew Stockdale. Totally makes sense — this happened to me just the other day. "By The Sword" appears on Slash's self-titled debut solo album, which...
