    "fora [sic]"? Yikes. Here's a little Dan Quayle moment for Mashable. "Fora" is a perfectly correct, if somewhat precious, plural form of forum. (And yes, I mean in English, not just the original Latin.) More here: http://www.painintheenglish.com/post.php?id=627

    Its time we re-evaulated the place of music in society.

    Fashion accessory or art form? Consumers of art with a social responsibility?...... now that's the future.

    Update
    We received a response from Dependent Records’ Lothar, who wrote us: “We never decided anything like that. The offer is completely illegal.The Person who create an account with the nickname Stefan_Herwig has absolutely nothing to do with our label owner of the same name.”

    Obviously the uploader did have access to the entire catalog of the label, interesting…

    Yes, #1 is correct. I've a PhD in English (Medieval English Lit, actually, and an MFA in Writing & Poetics).

    Your pedantry just backfired. Apparently, a German, to whom English is almost certainly a 2nd or 3rd language, has a superior command of English grammar.

    May I suggest a strikethrough of your sic?
