Audio now fixed. Also, the man was trying to keep us down ;) There were buffering issues and the episode got cut-off about half way through. Well, Information Wants to be FREE and this episode is NOW FIXED. Sorry for the false start there and sorry for the delays. Have a great Columbus Day weekend.

CORRECTION: The graphic for the Pirate Bay story should NOT be the U.S. Appellate court logo but rather the Dutch Appellate court logo. Sorry and droevig respectively.
