OK, anyone feel like hosting about 500kb of MP3 audio parody? :)

Could you put that list somewhere, Aaron? If it has approx start/end times it sounds useful. Can't promise I can get to it any time soon though (deadlines) but if you've already got it typed up, might as well post it, and maybe someone else is interested too.

I don't really have time to remix it now, but here's a script I put together if someone else wants to (I also have a sheet listing the approximate of all the interesting quotes and a rough cut of the first paragraph):
there's a larger darker issue here: the power to roooooam the internet. the power to take it down. it's more than i deserve.
the digital millenium copyright act will take down movies by the long ton. we got it thru the congress through trickery and treachery and duplicity. we have no larger objective than to bring down the world, free of charge.
i never felt comfortable with coding myself to be honest with you. i can't live in this world of zeroes and ones. i'm one of the rubes, and the rabble and the unsophisticated and the unlearned. it's a moral imperative to sacrifice me. it's not wroooong to do that.
it's trying to protect the vitality of every boy over the age of 13 who sees violence, sex, and language. it may sound idealistic but it's a guardian of younger people.
i could destroy your creative commons in the twinkling of an eye. we're going to ask the register of copyrights, the federal communications comission to stop your whining.
and the politicians, those people who govern us without paying for it sure as hell have been bought. i'm a political animal that played fast and loose, doing darker things. the ultimate goal is to own lessig.
thank you [applause]

What would be really useful for a nice bit of First-Amendment-Protected parody would be some samples from further back in the career of Mr. Valenti and his asssociates, to do some "contrast and compare" work -- the infamous "Boston Strangler" reference would be ideal but that may not be on tape anywhere (that fact itself a comment on the changing nature of recording media)... I can see a nice Lemon Jelly-esque sequence coming together, listing various disruptive technologies we now take for granted, for instance.
