[Andreas Kotes <count@flatline.de>]

Hi Guys :)

Could someone with a Siemens/Hauppauge/Technotrend card and able to
receive PBS record the AVPES stream (cat /dev/video ;)) of this
transmittion for me?

I hate asking things like this, but I'm all too interested in this!

Kind regards

from nme.com:


PUBLIC ENEMY's CHUCK D and METALLICA's LARS ULRICH are set to meet
head-to-head in a live US TV debate on the ongoing Napster
copyright controversy.

The pair will trade arguments tonight (May 12) on The Charlie Rose Show, a
heavyweight American news and current affairs programme
that airs every weeknight and is syndicated to over 200 local stations
throughout the country. The broadcast starts at 11pm (EST) on PBS
and affiliated networks.

Chuck D and Ulrich have been the most vocal of any major music stars in
their stance over the MP3 file-swapping software that Napster
produces.

The Public Enemy leader has been an outspoken advocate of music
availability on the Internet, arguing that far from sounding the death
knell of the music industry, such file-swapping devices as Napster provides
serves to open up new possibilities for both breaking and
established artists.

Ulrich however has made no secret of his desire to put Napster out of
business. Metallica are suing the website for some US$10 million
for a breach of copyright. They have accused Napster of stealing from them.
This week the company were forced to block access to
previously available Metallica tracks to over 300,000 of their users.
Ulrich had delivered the names to the Californian company's office in a
very public publicity stunt last week.

Such is the intensity of the debate that it has now reached the US
government. Chuck D has been called to testify on the issue in front of a
senate congressional hearing on May 24.

Joining Ulrich and Chuck D on tonight's show will be a collection of
authors and journalists, including Malcolm Gladwell from The New
Yorker.
