• Cochlear implant technology may soon allow deaf users to detect music

    Choosing "worst" among a host of sensual impairments is a loaded question, but no doubt that being unable to hear is near the worst. We can't imagine not being able to listen to the music we listen to every day at Music Times. Thanks to cochlear implants, deaf individuals have gotten to experience a bit of the aural world, but music has proven to be a problem.

    The top of the pop charts stays very much the same at Christmastime in the United States. Regardless of whether you've topped the charts as of Veteran's Day or Christmas Day, you've topped the charts.

The charges are that the sites, by earning profits from advertising while publishing copyrighted material, are taking part in "blatantly illegal material."
