Net Radio Appeal On Royalties Rejected

Station writes "The Copyright Royalty Board has rejected a request to reconsider its March decision to impose an onerous royalty schedule on Internet radio broadcasters. '"None of the moving parties have [sic] made a sufficient showing of new evidence or clear error or manifest injustice that would warrant rehearing," wrote the CRB in its decision.' The recording industry and its royalty collection organization SoundExchange are jubilant over the ruling. '"Our artists and labels look forward to working with the Internet radio industry — large and small, commercial and noncommercial — so that together we can ensure it succeeds as a place where great music is available to music lovers of all genres," said SoundExchange head Simson in a statement. Noble words, but after today's ruling — which will take effect on May 15 unless the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit agrees to hear an appeal — there probably won't be much of an Internet radio industry left for SoundExchange to work with.'"

Sometimes, it was the only thing keeping me going when I was working my dead end IT job. I'd have the shortcut to the 128kb stream on my desktop and it was the first thing I'd hit, even before checking my e-mail.

The first thing I hit is Joan's ass. Damn, it's better than caffeine, when she comes into my office, closing the door behind her with a jerk of her tight ass. She sits on the desk, causing her skirt to shift up, revealing crotchless panties and a neatly trimmed pussy. After a few minutes of smelling her feminine while she discusses the sales figures from last week, the front of my satin boxer shorts are wet from all the precum leaking forth from my erect member. I drop trou and slide my shaft into her willing twat. She squeezes her legs, and her pussy tightens up, gripping my dick tighter than a child prostitute. With a grunt, I deposit my load into the satin confines of her pink taco. Sometimes sheila joins us. Usually, She licks my balls (and Joan's cunt) while I fuck away. Sometimes she eats out our assholes. She got engaged last fall, so she only joins us once or twice a month these days.

Is.

'"None of the moving parties have [sic] made a sufficient showing of new evidence or clear error or manifest injustice that would warrant rehearing," wrote the CRB in its decision.'

The [sic] tag is annoying. The [sic] tag is obnoxious. The [sic] tag should only be used to indicate that an egregious error has been copied from the original source, and not as signal that your middle school English teacher would disapprove.

The "none" used in the article refers to a collective of moving parties, and hence has a plural sense rather than a singular sense. It is more natural to use "have" then "has" because of this collective type of evaluation. Moreover, whether you agree with the logic or not, the use of "have" is not clearly wrong:

Usage Note: It is widely asserted that none is equivalent to no one, and hence requires a singular verb and singular pronoun: None of the prisoners was given his soup. It is true that none is etymologically derived from the Old English word ân, "one," but the word has been used as both a singular and a plural noun from Old English onward. The plural use can be found in reputable sources such as the King James Bible, Dryden, and Burke; and H.W. Fowler described the traditional rule as "a mistake." Either a singular or a plural verb is acceptably used in a sentence such as None of the conspirators has (or have) been brought to trial. When none is modified by almost, however, it is difficult to avoid treating the word as a plural: Almost none of the officials were (not was) interviewed by the committee. None can only be plural in its use in sentences such as None but his most loyal supporters believe (not believes) his story.

The [sic] tag wasn't in the referenced ArsTechnica article, and certainly wasn't in the original decision, so that someone must have gone out of their way to add it to the summary. Knock it off.
