Clear Channel Buys Patent For Instant Live CDs

An anonymous reader writes "According to this Rolling Stone article, and this article at P2P, everyone's favorite monopolist, Clear Channel, is bullying DiscLive and other companies in the available-after-the-concert live CD business by forbidding them from operating in their venues. Looking at the actual Clear Channel patent itself, it's obvious that, unlike what is said by their Instant Live program head Steve Simon, their patent is very specific, and doesn't cover all media types and all onsite production, so isn't CC just standing behind a bogus patent to continue to act like a monopolist? Anyone have prior art to invalidate their patent?"

Nope not a typo, a convenience I indulge myself in while typing on forums, boards, etc. I know it's a bad habit but I haven't got around to breaking it. I am interested in your counting ability now that you've brought up errors. Maybe in your rage of grammtical thinking you added another "your" in front of the - Thought.
