    Fat chance, considering who wants to replace her!

    What's the difference between NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC? And gee, do you think there's any conflict of interest in having an IP lawyer not only work, but anchor a media organization?!

    Someday naming your daughter Hillary will be as favorable as naming your son Adolph.

    The scariest part is that she was. At least according to her Wired interview - she made it sound like she was the lone voice of reason. I remember her saying she tried to convince them (the real power holders in the RIAA) that they won't be able to end file sharing through legal means or DRM, and that they will have to embrace the future (easy & cheap digital distrobution) if they don't want to go under. I also seem to remember her saying she has an iPod loaded with mp3's.

    Not that I'm defending all those PR statements she made, or anything like that.
