Well, from a legal point of view ABBA probably had every right to take action regarding copyright etc, but on the other hand my thoughts are: didn't they make enough money already to bother about small time crooks, or pirates if you prefer, like the KLF ?

As far as I am concerned, money had/has absolutely nothing to do with the matter.
It's kind of like trademark laws in the USA. Unless you enforce your trademark rights you can lose them. For ABBA, as soon as they open the door to people sampling their work then there will be a flood of it.

Exactly. Protect your property or lose it. ABBA had no choice except to shut it down.

Hmm, dont think it is worth taking a chance on.

I wasn't planning to, but I might change my mind and take a chance.

I don't think anyone was offended by your posts. They are your opinions. No worries.

Me and I have half a mind to attend.

Amorphis - The Bee[^]
I've known Amorphis for quite some time (they've been around almost as long as me!)
Used to listen to it once in a while back in high school, but then developed a different musical taste.
Until I saw them live a few years ago.
They're now releasing a new album soon and The Bee is the first available preview track.
It's pretty neat, looking forward to the entire album.
But until that's released (next month) I guess we'll have to settle with this track

That's pretty sweet actually!

Nope, luckily I don't see that message a lot
I'm not really into that kind of music though.
It's nice to have in the background and once in a while a really good song comes along.

That Sultans of Swing cover is pretty good and that guy has a sense of humor 
I still prefer the original one though, which is one of the best songs ever written
Now Hazemaze I like

Who should I use to explain polymorphism to kids?
Eddie Izzard?
... such stuff as dreams are made on

Excellent choice, he is known for his civilized language 
|
|
|
|
|
Given the divorce rate in the US, I imagine most kids have a very good understanding of polymorphism. 
|
|
|
|

I will leave out the unsightly details of detailed descriptions, but there is an obvious sub-classification of employees where I work who keep the divorce rate down by having all of their children out-of-wedlock.

OK. That's weird. When I read that, I immediately thought "Rock the Casbah".
