The Web enables anyone to communicate with the masses, even serial killers.

Charles Manson, convicted murderer and leader of the infamous Manson Family, has released the digital album One Mind over the Web.

Manson, who ordered the deaths of actress Sharon Tate and seven others including Tate's unborn son, has issued the album under the Creative Commons license, which means anyone can listen or copy it as long as they don't use it for commercial purposes.

It's doubtful that anyone would want to buy Manson's music. Indeed, one of the reasons that Manson sent his minions to Tate's house to kill everybody in it was that he thought it was occupied by a record producer who had rejected his music.

When you kill someone, you should have no rights at all until, like you said "ONLY AFTER HE IS ABLE TO RESTORE LIFE AND BREATH TO THOSE HE MURDERED."

I really don't understand why this coward is still alive and laughing in societies face. What's the point. Shoot him in the head and call it the day. I can guarantee you that if he was to face ol' sparky next week, he'd go through all motions to avoid it. Why, because he's a coward.

I can't believe Cnet bothers on giving this p.o.s. free publicity.
Why?

Why in hell are people like him even allowed to use
a computer and surf the net? It's supposed to be prison! Oh yea, I forgot, it's CALIFORNIA prison!

What's the problem here?

These posters have exercised their rights (as Americans) to Free Speech and you complain. Why?

Do you feel that convicted murderers should have access to the Internet? Do you feel that convicted murderers should be afforded the ability to disseminate their views to the World?

Additionally... what is it that these "Americans" aren't comprehending?

The value of human life? Apparently not - it sounds like they support the punishment of murderers.

The concept of Accountability? Again, it sounds like they believe in Punishment.

So... who exactly is demonstrating "no education and no comprehension"?
