Pearl Jam have released the Video to "Life

update its licensing rules, so the Disk you paid nearly £30 for may
play now, but in a weeks time, even, you may find that your license to
watch this is revoked for seemingly no reason.

Although more than a step away from the usual technology theme of this
site, and not wanting to turn this site into yet another blog on an
Internet already clouded with peoples feelings, I have some thoughts on
