i wonder if i can sue my neighbor anytime i hear his &&$#! car alarm go off. wait, and the old lady 3 doors down with the barking dog. her too. they all are using the air on my property. (rolls eyes)
or the new yahoo. in a few years we'll be using something else for a search engine. google is buying so much crap and utilizing so little of it. example: google buys dodgeball and leaves it for dead, along comes twitter.
so now google buying doubleclick then buys an anti malware company. go figure.
theres a few kids in school at the moment that will be millionaires in a few years after they start a new search engine that doesnt have bloat and doesnt sell listing results. google gets to join yahoo in the also ran seat soon.
dark fiber optics sit unused in over 90% of the usa. europe supplements its existing fiber/phone/cable with data over power lines (BPL). there is no shortage of broadband, just a collusion of lies. much like the diamond industry does to keep wholesale/retail costs high.

this is nothing more than a leveraged attempt by the RIAA (aka soundexchange) to split small net station support from larger net stations. it shows the RIAA is concerned congress will step in. they are hoping to fracture support among constituents.
keep in mind: soundexchange is collecting royalties for all performances on the net. even artists that are not under contract by anyone represented by the RIAA. The RIAA has legal authority over a compulsory license that covers all recorded music. SoundExchange considers any digital song performance as falling under the RIAA compulsory license.
Here is a list of artists about to forfeit the money soundexchange collected for them. Soundexchange only lists these artists just before they are about to forfeit. Soundexchange does not contact the artists. Soundexchange does not list artists that are not about to forfeit their royalties. And not one of these artists, is under contract with any RIAA company.
Soundexchange has yet to charge commercial terrestrial radio 1 cent for songs. These rates against digital internet radio are meant to smash the competition before it gets started. Corporate conglomerates such as Clear channel don't want net radio gaining a foothold.
The Copyright Royalty Board is in Sound Exchange's back pocket. Congress is the only hope for freedom on this one.

yup. this is nothing but a smoke and mirrors campaign to try and scare companies into vista and away from open source.
ms knows the case wont fly. and it wont succeed
All Radio Stations need to take a stand against the Riaa and refuse to play anything but Indie artists for a year. After that year, stations should begin to charge the riaa for each song the Riaa wants to buy airtime for.
Its past time to break these Riaa racketeering momos.
or like punching your boss in the nose and getting fired for the punch. then suing your boss because he forced you to punch him because he was acting like a tool.
you know it. this is exactly how MS is inflating figures on vista. Its not selling, people arent buying it atm. Maybe in a year or two.
so far its reminding me of windows ME more and more each day.
MS decides to cry over FOSS because vista is selling poorly? Did MS forget about stealing Vista from a mac o/s?
hope ms actually opens this can of worms, would be funny to watch IBM and Apple respond.

think people with too much money are looking for a "status" keyboard..who else would spend 1500.00 for a keyboard.

for a laugh i searched to see if patent search for "blue screen of death" would return a microsoft hit. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PT O2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-b ool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=%22blue+sc reen+death%22&OS=%22blue+screen+death%22&RS=%22blu e+screen+death%22

Gonzales is a tool, of the riaa. This proposed act is a joke.
