Lux Æterna from the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack. Though it's become more famous in recent years as "that song from the LOTR: Two Towers trailer". :'D

think i first heard of this when the protect i.p. bill came up... wow our government is a bunch of idiots

i'd imagine this bill would effectively kill the internet for gamers like us who use emulators or at least big websites like EP

actually i wouldnt be to sure on that point, the media and the music industry can be very pursasive and they are thinking about possibly extending stuff like this worldwide and who knows even if they do get enough people to oppose this whether or not the government will listen, also it would effect you link coz it will be sites like this that get shut down

Almost right.

The sites wouldnt be Shut down, certain countrys just wouldnt be able to access them. And If the sites are not hosted in the U.S (which most are not) Then they dont have to worry at all.
