I told one of the employees that I would need him back in about an hour to log on so I could restore all his settings etc. He replied that I didn't need him, his password was written on the whiteboard in his cubicle. I gently explained what a stupid idea that was, and left. Next day when I came to work on his machine, I was pleased to see the password had disappeared. I was somewhat bemused to read instead a notice which said "Password on post-it in top drawer, for security". The draw was of course unlocked...</p> Reminds me of the work I did upgrading PC’s at my Dad’s work.

I haven’t a clue how to remind people that WE shouldn’t be complaining when people type our password into someone else’s site then.

I understand your frustration but hope you can open up to the other side of the spectrum. Not everyone is honest especially in this business. So when they a month early send out their work, and some blogger takes it rips it and uploads it for his 678 subscribers in his RSS, well that is 678 people who don't buy the album, then that is 678 counts off the hit chart, money out of their pocket and generally this business is killing music and bands. I was the absolute queen of illegal download until I realized with the help of a very well known Finnish band I work for how badly this is inhibiting their career. The last album they sent out like this flew like a fire threw the web and ruined their release because all of their fans already had the album. So there was no money for a tour and no money to record again.</p> As someone who constantly works and gets fucked over for and by bands and labels.
