...so what would you say about the institution calling itself "justice"?
recently, two webmasters have been condamned to pay €94'000 to a commercial website, because they had a forum where people criticized it (besides, this commercial site had already been sued before).
i don't know if you were aware of it, since it's a french affair, but this is utterly disgusting. these people don't have enough money to pay this, they would need their whole life to pay it if nothing's done. the website has already had their cars taken by ushers.
...just wanted to let you know.

they were ordered to pay this money because a forum had slagged them off?

no... the webmasters were ordered to pay this money because people on their forum criticized another (commercial) website.

no... that's because i think calling idm "intelligent" isn't pretentious compared to the institution of justice calling itself "justice".

i get the fact that idm, to some people, sounds pretentious, and i understand youre trying to say that it's not pretentious compared to the story you told, but i dont get who's pretentious in the story though...
anyway, which company was bashed by which company's forum members? sounds pretty harsh o make em pay that much for this reason alone.

i'm not calling it braindance...that's for crapp ass wannabe shit on rephlex records. IDM fits perfectly, The music is very mathimatical, and has computer/math/science overtones. It also has a lot to deal with acid. A lot of IDM is listened to by comp geeks, and bio chemists (the fields i'm looking into), in the AF as a way to escape/entertain/aid the trip.
It's intelligent music for intelligent ppl. or nerdy music for nerdy ppl. Now, dance shouldn't be taking as a singular word, it's should be Intelligent-Dance, thus meaning not simple BD OH BD OH, but lot's of unique, and intelligent beat programming. I could go on and on, but i don't think that's this term is either elitist, or pretentious.

sorry, i was reading u as being sarcastic. That's why i said i HOPE u know what ur talking about, or u'd then read like yadda yadda.
i didn't miss the point of the thread, i didn't even read it at all. I quickly looked at the topic and thought "crap, now a bunch of wankers are going to wank off about the term IDM not being a good term" like many other threads with simular topics.
*yawn* i'm thirsty.

you're right CORTEX...
the company who sued the webmasters is pere-noel.fr. the site with the forum has been closed. it didn't belong to a company.
