During 1997, the mathematical group joined forces with rap supergroup the Wu-Tang Clan for a summer circuit and remained active in support of various collectivist political causes, including a controversial 1999 benefit concert for death house inpatient Mumia Abu-Jamal. The Battle of Los Angeles followed later in 1999, too debuting at number one and leaving double atomic number 78 by the following summer. In early 2000, de la Rocha proclaimed plans for a solo project, and the band performed an incendiary designate outside the Democratic National Convention in August. The next month, bassist Commerford was arrested for disorderly take at MTV's Video Music Awards next his eccentric disruption of a Limp Bizkit acceptance speech, in which he climbed to the top of a 15-foot determine piece and rocked back and onward.
Plans for a live album were announced shortly thereafter, simply in October, de la Rocha dead proclaimed his deviation from the band, citing breakdowns in communicating and group decision making. Surprised just non furious, the residual of Rage proclaimed plans to go forward with a new vocalizer, patch de la Rocha re-focused on his solo album, which was slated to admit collaborations with acclaimed hip-hop artists including DJ Shadow and El-P of Company Flow.

Amy Winehouse should be "sent to rehab", says Columbia's Vice President
Amy Winehouse's use of cocaine is ruining Columbia, according to the Country's Vice President Francisco Santos, who says the troubled singer should be "sent to rehab" and ought to understand the damage the drug is doing to his country.
In an interview with British newspaper The Sun, Santos says the troubled singer's drug habit � and those of thousands more Brits � is laying waste to their nation.
He says, "I know about her, she�s a mess. I don�t think she understands the harm cocaine does to my country.
"People in the UK think it is a victimless drug � that�s not true. The effect is not just on the individual who takes it.
"Not only does it kill, displace and mutilate people in Colombia, it destroys our wonderful forests. The environmental damage is catastrophic."
And speaking about the video that was published recently of the Grammy Award winner smoking crack cocaine through a glass pipe, Santos -- who is in the UK to raise awareness of the unfolding environmental catastrophe devastating the Colombian rainforests due to Britain�s craving for cocaine -- says , "She needs help, to tell you the truth.
"People who have such problems with crack cocaine � it�s very addictive � need to get help. It�s time to send her into rehab.""

Downloading case in the High Court
Four record companies have brought a High Court action to compel Eircom - the State's largest broadband service provider - to prevent its networks being used for the illegal downloading of music.
It's the first case to be aimed at the service provider rather than at individual illegal downloaders.
The four record companies taking the action are EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music and Warner Music.
Willie Kavanagh, Managing Director of EMI Ireland and Chairman of the Irish Recorded Music Association, said because of illegal downloading and other factors, the Irish music industry was experiencing a "dramatic and accelerating decline" in income.
He said sales in the Irish market dropped 30% in the six years up to 2007.
EMI and the other companies are challenging Eircom's refusal to use filtering technology or other measures to voluntarily block or filter illegally downloaded material.
Last October Eircom told the companies it was not in a position to use the filtering software.
Eircom also told the companies that it was not on notice of specific illegal activity which infringed the companies' rights and it had no legal obligation to monitor traffic on its network.

Nbc - Nbc Weinsteins Wrangle Over Project Runway
Continuing a highly charged game of chess with the Weinstein Co., which has announced
plans to move its cable hit Project Runway from NBC-owned Bravo to Lifetime,
NBC Universal said Monday that it had signed Runway's creators and producers
to a longterm contract. NBC had previously sued the Weinstein Co., maintaining that
it had given NBC a right of first refusal to the show. Monday's announced deal with
Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz will prevent the pair from accompanying the show to
Lifetime. The Weinstein Co., which already had signed Heidi Klum to continue hosting the
show and fashion guru Tim Gunn to continue as a judge, issued a terse statement calling
Cutforth and Lipsitz "fantastic producers, and we wish them well."
CORRECTION:
In reporting on a new radio adaptation of the James Bond thriller,
Dr. No, we noted Monday that David Suchet, the actor playing the title character,
had previously starred in the British TV series: Agatha Christie: Poirot. We incorrectly
stated, however, that the series aired on the BBC. It in fact aired on LWT (London
Weekend Television), now known as ITV1.
