Led Zep, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Britney Spears may have hidden secret backwards messages in their music, but beardy grinning weirdo music man Richard D James (or rather Aphex Twin) went one further and hid pictures in his music. Presumably just because he's clever enough to do it.

Despite over 20,000 lawsuits against music fans there is no decline in people downloading music. RIAA continues to try that route, trying to desperately hold on to an outdated business model. Their latest travesty? A lawsuit against a man who had 2000 music files on his personal computer, files that were copies of legally purchased CDs!
