Hypothetical legal question: My father stole a horse from SomeCorp, which rented horses for profit. My father subsequently made
his money by renting out the horse and later the horse's progeny. All my dad's money was made off that horse, or its progeny, or off of money derived from money made off that horse. When he died, my dad left his money to me. Can SomeCorp successfully sue me, a third-party recipient of the proceeds of the theft? What laws and precedents would be the basis for SomeCorp's suit against me?

What classical music databases exist? I'm
not looking for lists or even data. I am looking for relational database DDL that describes/implements a structure sufficient to describe/model classical music.
Or, if you don't know of such a database, classical aficionados, give me advice on how to implement such a database.

What's a good, free database designing/administrating tool which works with postgresql? I've been using pgAdmin III, and while that does the basics, it doesn't have useful features like a buffer of previous queries and their results.

I need a new webhost for my domain. I'd like one that's cheap, but that allows me pretty much complete shell access. Bare bones, no frills, and no crap. Basically, I want "programmer's" or "unix admin's" hosting.
