  It all boils down to one word: PERMISSION.
  
  When you're ripping music, you're not being too unfair to scene musicians. If you as a coder/designer have a vision of a demo fitting to a Guano Apes track, and you don't know any scene musician who can come close to that style (and I think we all agree that there are VERY FEW (at best) scene musicians who can do non-electronica and most of those then lack the proper mixing/mastering skills to make their songs sound like more than a bad suburban garage grunge band), then so be it...
  
  ... but who you're then really ripping of are in this case the Guano Apes. Heck, maybe they'd even have liked the demo, maybe a miracle would have happened and the label/publisher would have given permission to use such a "hit" track for free...
  
  ... but that didn't happen. The band wasn't given a chance to know how THEIR (!) piece of art got used, let alone control it.
  
  Sorry, but MP3 trading sucks and rips off people. Why is it suddenly ok if you wrap a demo around it?
  
  (As a side note, I kind of hate the music industry and their recent efforts to make artists as well as consumers pay more and more for less and less music and rights, but I at least haven't lost the insight that spreading commercial mp3's throughout the net isn't allowed and definitely shouldn't be in the future)

• demo Windows Open Your Eyes by Critical Mass
• really great graphics work, but the story is nonexistant, the "shadows" are a joke and the animation looks quite ripped (in the "fighting" part)
  
  Furthermore, ripping music sucks. Sorry.

• diskmag Windows WorldCharts #14 by The Silents [web] & Scoopex [web] & Hoodlum [web]
• Very very cool. As usual, the criticism first:
  
  - Mipmaps wouldn't have hurt
  - The font is somewhat unreadable, especially the small one. Next time please something more eye-pleasing, ok?
  - 4.5mb for a pure chartsmag are too much IMHO. I think three instead of five tunes would have been enough, and maybe you could pack the rest of the data better or sth..
  - I would like to adjust the scroll speed or at least stop/fast forward through the upscrollers
  
  Apart from that, really good to see that there's a decent chartsmag again. And the innovative/stylish interface looks great. Music is cool, too. Not to forget having three intros in the intro top10 *g*
  
  Anyway, continue this.

• demo Windows Amour by Orion [web]
• Whoa. That saved my day. I never thought Frenchs trying to speak English could actually sound CUTE :)
  
  Nice modelling job (though a bit too low-poly perhaps ;) and great Storytelling. And i just love this really senseless kind of humour ;)
  
  Ok, I'll show it to Yoda later who spent >30h on french motorways in the last days, let's hope I'll survive.
