    I installed an optical drive in my computer recently, and I was playing with my old CDs, and found that Poodle Hat has a data partition, or whatever the hell you call them on CDs. On which is a 6 minute .mov file that takes up about an 8th of the disc’s space, in which Al thanks the owner of the disc for buying the album “instead of downloading it like some HOOLIGAN!” And then proceeds to joke over some of his own home movies.

      Data track/session is the term

      If it was done in the way where the data track didn’t show up for an audio player, it was probably an Enhanced CD/CD plus. If anyone is backing up old CDs it’s worth checking for this kind of stuff and saving it too. Given most people only ever rip the audio, loads of that stuff is going to end up as lost media before long

    Yeah, I agree with Weird Al, you USE the NET to find a legal way but we’ll just have to wait for Roku.

    i am amazed that there are people who still don’t know how to torrent
    i listen to kill james bond and they were watching “topkapi” on pirate streaming sites??? why??? you can get a 1080 rip at any time
    and i remember nova saying something about torrenting before as well
    so frustrating
