TechDirt's Masnick Responds To Warner's Jim Griffin On Choruss
newtley writes "TechDirt's Mike Masnick writes that the Warner Music Choruss licensing scheme amounts to a Bait-And-Switch operation. Not so, says Jim Griffin, the man charged to put it together. Masnick's story is 'factually incorrect in every respect,' he states. But Griffin 'refused to name a single factual mistake,' Masnick says, noting, 'He fails to address the key problems that we outlined: 1. Why is this program even needed when plenty of musicians are coming up with business models that work today and don't need a new mandatory license (er... 'covenant not to sue') plan? 2. Why do we need a new bureaucracy and won't that divert funds? 3. Will the industry continue to try to shut down file sharing sites? 4. Will the industry continue to push a 3 strikes plan?'"
Being so low, I'd rather say it dives.
Dry "humor" is not funny, and never was.
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
You felt the need to post on slashdot to tell someone that their (extremely common) style of humor isn't funny?
Get over yourself. Not only is it funny, but no one gives a shit if YOU think it was funny, egotistical asshole.
