UPDATE: The toolbar is no longer being supported and updated. It has been discontinued.
This is really cool and something new to the online Muslim ummah: an Islamic toolbar. It began just for the University of Waterloo MSA, but the brother who developed it contacted me and said he is expanding it for all Muslims around the world. It features:

A radio that features Nasheeds (MR Radio is featured on it)
Nintendo better meet with Johnny Lee and start developing this technology for the market! I have a Nintendo Wii and I’m a big fan of it. I can’t wait to see the potential it has!
This is a reflection based on two things I have recently read: 1) on MuslimMatters.org, bro. IbnAbeeOmar talks about Copyrights and Software Piracy in Islam and 2) bro. Alex showed me this, in which he quoted from the Alhambra Productions site saying they were out of stock due to illegal selling and downloading of an audio set.
To all the Muslim audio/video production companies, piracy will not stop. People are people. Audio tapes and cassette tapes are out dated. CDs are weak. DVDs are the default now. The latest technology in video would be HD-DVDs and Blu-Ray, which are high quality picture and sound better than DVD quality.
So how can Muslim audio and video production companies fight the piracy of lectures and music of Muslim speakers and artists? We have to first look at what the mainstream music industry did to combat piracy.
