Pearl Jam have released the Video to "Life
Wasted" under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No-Derivs-License
This basically means you must give the Original Authors Credit, you
cannot use it for commercial gain, and you may not make derived works.
Other than that you are free to copy and share it. I think it is

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
