Lessig And RIAA Answer NewsHour Questions

Zeta writes "The answers are finally in! Stanford's Lawrence Lessig and the RIAA's Matt Oppenheim have responded to all the tough questions on copyrighted music, many from Slashdot readers, for the online part of the PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Take a look - some of the responses may surprise you." We ran the original call for questions a few weeks back.

Since the only legal specie are Gold and Silver, it's time to start mining. According to XE, you'd have to cough up 2,820 ounces of Gold, or 222,223 ounces of Silver.

According to the constitution, however... $1,000,000 should be equal to 28,571 ounces of gold... notice the 10:1 descrepancy? Someone's been ripped off.

Yeah, yeah, I know... off topic

Although technically not redundant, the parent , as worded, looks like a "trash" post, and received the appropriate moderation.

I reply to this in the spirit you are the parent poster which asked "Is the NewsHour the same length as 60 Minutes? " and did a typo, meaning "Is the NewsHour the same show as 60 Minutes?"

I reply giving you the benefit of the doubt, knowing you may not be in America or familiar with the networks..

The MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour is run on the PBS network.

60 Minutes is run on the CBS network.

Although both are news shows, they are NOT the same show.

And, please, referring to the slashdot community as "fucktards" is kinda pointless.. it really doesn't solve anything, it just pisses folks off and if they have a mod point laying around, they will just be inclined to use it to drive you under the ground.
