I block HollyWeird by going out to dance and have fun. I don't even have to suspend my reality.

HollyWeird is dying and like many things that die they jerk around and cry, why am I dying.

Hollyweird's market is giving them bad news, their product is only worth stealing and the ripping software is more valuable.

Bob's correct, really live rather than living virtually in Hollyweird and RealNetworks(tm).

If only the Entertainment Biz (that includes the actors and singers) would embrace new technology instead of constantly fighting it, they would make a lot more money and not look like such pricks.
