The initial stamp should have been 48 hrs before Siftbot put it into the PQueue, so that makes Siftie's date 2 days after initial posting.
Adjusting for that, this posts time stamp is 8/12/08 4:53 PM. The other post's stamp is a day or so later, 8/13/08 12:38 AM. Unless I'm missing something, the blankfist post is the dupe.
Southern California Sift-Up? (Sift Talk Post)
As for a small update: Mom, thankfully, is fine. Very big scare for 24 hours, but she's at home again for Thanksgiving.
How do you buy music? (Music Talk Post)
But to answering your questions:
1. I consider the old experiment of putting a frog in boiling water vs cold then slowing boiling them to death. The idea is the frog gets use to latter and won't jump out even when it's near death.
The RIAA, on the other hand, reacted like the former when presented with Napster. It existed, almost literally, under their noses. They had no "warming up" period to the idea of digitally available music. Because of the initial knee-jerk reaction they whole of the association is still reeling from the notion that anyone could rip them off in a few clicks. The slowness is due to the hard coding of the idea, in executive heads, that the control of the physical media the music is listened to on is paramount. Given that you can rip tracks from a CD or convert files from one format to another and from one device to another, this isn't possible. Draconian is my usual word for mentality because of this. They missed the boat for the digital age and are slowly dying at an industry because of it. A very slow death, but a death nonetheless.
2. All that above being said, your options right now are limited.
Thats all I have to say. There are way to support artists but not the industry, but they require you to work at it.

Dear Dag and Lucky, (Wtf Talk Post)
But I still would like a to pull together a small discourse on necro editing/deleting. Maybe in this thread, maybe in another. We've now see that we need a mechanism that both allows users to leave if they want (sorry to see you go Karaidl) but preserve at least a small part of what they contributed to The Sift.
Dear Dag and Lucky, (Wtf Talk Post)
As for Necro Editing: Lockdown and put a lid on it now. For better or for worse what work was put in by both are just... needed, for lack of better term. We went through this (sorta) when snake plissken decided to do the same. It's childish: Basically throwing a temper tantrum because mommy wants to leave the toy store.
