"When asked during the EMI conference call about the potential of lifting DRM from video, Jobs said: "Video is pretty different from music right now because the video industry does not distribute 90 percent of their content DRM free. Never has. So I think they are in a pretty different situation and I wouldn't hold it to a parallel at all."
I doubt any of these patents have anything to do with a gaming console. We all read how much money it takes to enter the console gaming market. The console are subsidized, etc. Apple is into big margins not paying you to buy their stuff and make it up later.
Everyone knew that there wasn't much money in phones for the mfrs because the telcos insisted they were cheap and kept the profit for themselves too.
It doesn't solve it by actually being implemented, it underscores the absurdity of their claims that anyone making use of their IP or even anything resembling it owing them money.
As I said, his comment triggered a thought, not an in-depth analysis and plan. To me, my thought is just the logical extension of the direction content owners are presently headed, excepting it recognizes that all works are derivative.
Go research JVC's newest DILA projectors (their name for LCoS). The latest models have true 35,000:1 contrast without any dimming or modulation of the lamp. Not a marketing spec, it has been corroborated by many independent reviews as performing to that level after proper calibration.
Definitely not the same as regular LCD for contrast performance. And it has caused many CTR 3 gun projector owners (a die hard crowd if there ever was one) to switch over.
Your post triggered a thought. Content owners respect IP? OK:
We designate the public domain as a legal entity with IP rights. Someone writes a song, they must pay for each element of it which can be identified as something in the public domain. Each word (we'll let them slide on letters), each common phrase such as you have noted above that they wish to incorporate into their work, etc.
Same for films. Thy sky appears in your film or 43 out of 129 minutes. The licensing fee for use of the sky in a film is $100 per second or,0001% of the film's reveneue, whichever is less. Similar terms for everything else.
All proceeds go to a fund to lobby for shorter, more reasonable copyright.
After all, these people are stealing the public domain's IP without any compensation to the public!
Most of the deaths in Mexico were young adults. From the WSJ:
"Mexican health authorities said the death toll from the new strain of A/H1N1 swine flu remains at 20, and they are continuing to investigate whether more than 1,000 others were infected with the mysterious bug, which attacked in three geographically diverse areas of the country and is taking its heaviest toll in young adults."

So he did not say it is"good" for movies, but this quote is almost certainly what the GP is thinking of.

But, I do agree your conclusion is probably right
I am curious what you objectively think the world political situation would look like one year after the U.S. completely dismantled its military.
No, I understand. It's just if they are going to attempt to eliminate the public domain, I propose we arm it with the capability of self-defense.

Denny Crane!
The Romulans are the Japanese. Offshoot of the older race separated by isolation.
While I think their take on it was humorous, actually, yours is much superior. That would have been great.
They're renting episodes as movies on iTunes. Just turned my kid into a mistie last weekend.
"Werewolf!"
er third sentence.
You forgot the "most" in your second sentence.
Are you saying Jack Valenti is NOT dead, but that his spirit has returned and is in Los Angeles growing in power by the day?
I think they specifically pushed for extensions to keep the Steamboat Willy short under copyright, not the character of Mickey himself.
Why exactly should he be able to keep it from being used as the name of a hydrofoil?
"I was going to buy a copy of Lord of the Rings to read, but I got this cool hydrofoil called Shadowfax, so now I don't need to."
Got no points, but that's really funny.
CRT, not CTR. Morning typing.

Black hole-filling putty? Now with free spatula!
I am beginning to think there may be an infinite number of ways to spell infinite.
How are we sopposed to threaten to move to another country if they all suck?
Where's our cheap space travel? Oh, and somewhere to travel to.
"In the event of a partial sealing, certain information in the court file will continue to be available for public inspection."
Also, sometimes people in the room above you will fall on you.

Imagine it's scary for you too. Because it is.
Where do you put the floppy?
