Re: I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General
The recording may be subject to some form of copyright but I think the message here is that it's OK to rip-off copyrights which major corporations aren't actively defending. Which is quaint.
So if someone is asking for a crack for The Sims 2 then they'll probably be warned/banned because EA is a multi-billion dollar company. But not paying some little opera company (or whomever recorded it) is probably OK because they can't serve a C&D*.

Why wouldn't he just ask Phang to PM him his address so he could post it? Why would he ask him to come onto IRC (which, coincidentally has a file transfer function)?
* = Has anyone seen 'The Corporation'? The best bit is probably where they have the kids miming 'Happy Birthday' and then they say "Imagine a world where the song 'Happy Birthday' was owned....Actually, it is owned by one of the AOL-TW subsiduaries, and they've demanded up to $10,000 to sing in a film."

incorrect,
the IRC protocol specifies no such thing.
just because irc clients choose to incorporate it.
