Rock band Deep Purple has been fined for playing “unlicensed” music during a performance in Russia.

According to rules, all performers have to obtain a license from Russian Authors Society, an NGO that represents  the rights of foreign performers in Russia.

The problem: Deep Purple has been fined for playing their own songs. According to a local court, the rock band should’ve obtained a license from Russian Authors Society before playing their own music.

It gets better: The offender [Deep Purple] has been asked to pay the fine to the affected party, which is, umm, a band named Deep Purple.

A user on Microsoft Answers discusses a matter of crucial importance:

I’ve noticed that as I copy data/install programs on my Laptop, the weight of the Laptop increases. I have a bad back and am medically limited on the amount of weight I can carry so I need to be very carefull not to inflict injury upon myself.

I have also noticed my XBox feels heavier as well (the more games I save or purchase from arcade). I generally don’t travel with my XBox so that is not an issue for me, but note the I am having the same results.

My ask, what is the weight/file ratio? So for example, how many GB’s = 6oz? I dread the day I need a dolly to commute to work with my Laptop.

Thanks in advance!
