Today Spotify has eventually been launched in Germany. For all german users having registered in other countries via proxies now it is the time to change the country to Germany.
Sadly for new registrants: sole Spotify accounts are not available anymore. Registration requires a Facebook account since november 2011. There is no way around it. Old Non-Facebook accounts will still remain functional.

[Muzaq] In Memoriam Alberto Adriano
Ten years ago, on June 14th, 2000 Alberto Adriano died from an attack of rightist extremists in the german city Dessau. Adriano was originally a contract worker from Mozambique who came to the German Democratic Republic in 1980. At the time of his death he had three children in the age between 5 months and 8 years.
The three rightist extremists told the police they did it because they hated foreigners. According to a BBC article Adriano’s wife said “They stamped on his head so hard they knocked out an eye.”
For the first time in german history a Chancellor chose to pay his respects immediately. Mr Schröder went to the simple shrine which then marked the murder scene. He approached slowly and sober, before placing the wreath.
The three rightist extremists were convicted of beating Adriano to death and were handed down tough prison sentences. The oldest man at that time was 24. He was sentenced to the maximum of life in prison. The two 16 year olds were given 9 years each, so they would have been released at latest in 2009.
The afro-german music combo Brothers Keepers recorded a title called “Adriano” afterwards.

[Media] Newspaper Articles About Copying And File Sharing
Abstract
According to the RIAA the media industry is suffering heavy losses due to increased copying and file sharing in the last 10 years. Sanity and reason shows there must be something true with that argument. But are the numbers the media companies are providing correct? What can we learn from history?
The following links provide an uncategorized and unsorted mixture of links (in multiple languages) dealing with the topic of copying and file sharing. It is in no way complete and perfect, but is probably usable as a lateral cut thru that topic.
We will update this section frequently. Comments are highly appreciated.
