Why the MPAA and RIAA can’t stand college students
So why does the RIAA and MPAA focus so much of their time on college students?

Samplepack – Small wav audio package from SoundSnap
We finally got around to Soundsnap. A community upload site that has all kind of audio; be it soundscaping effects, loops, shots and other crap. Soundsnap use their own license, but it’s pretty amazing that everything is (more or less) public domain. It really is a very big library, so it fits the LostAudio concept pretty [...]
