Welcome to the REAL cable a-la-carte, where I don't even need a connection to watch my favorite shows, just download them for 2 bucks a pop. If you normally watch 5 or 6 shows with any regularity, over a full 22 episode season, that comes out to 264 bucks a year. How much are you paying for cable yearly?
Hey, as long as Myths are treated as such, and not absolute fact. At that point it gets hard to sort through what may be helpful, and what may just be white noise...
...So the most easily pirated material (the popular stuff) is going to be more expensive, while the harder to find stuff (the less popular songs) will be cheaper? Either they're changing their business model more drastically than ever before in their history to expand the appeal of smaller artists...or they're just in it for the short run to prove that digital downloads don't work...
My guess? While setting it up the first time, it was just Seattle, then it was the US, now it's the US, Canada, and UK...give them time, this is only the third year...
In other news my dog can find and separate his medical pills even when they're complexly hidden in cheese. He has self-trained to reject the pill and spit it on the floor while still consuming the cheese.
This may possibly soon lead to complex robotic cheese/pill separators for robots that have colds.
1. How does this affect streaming, i.e I can stream music, can I stream video? 2. When does the airport express come out that enables me to watch downloaded videos on my TV?
...that such a strong dismissal would also include this part:
"While the case was dismissed, the mother had to pay legal fees as the Judge refused to award her attorneys fees. The reason is that the plaintiffs' lawyers had taken the appropriate steps in trying to prosecute the mother and that the mother used tactics to obstruct the Plaintiff to efficiently prosecute her."
So it's dismissed, but she still owes somewhere between a couple thousand and a hundred thousand dollars? She's fucked regardless.
RIAA's still making it's message heard: Either roll over early, or we'll fuck you for life.
To be fair though, for the cost of a good quality home theater system ($5,000 plus or minus) you can buy a ticket to 500 movies. Now I don't know how many movies you see a year, but I bet it's not this many. That being said, the quality, no matter how much money you spend, will never equal the million dollar audio/visual setups that a theater entails. This may be a plus or a minus to you (lots of people I know think the theaters are too loud) but in terms of pure quality, it's the truth.
Just playing the devil's advocate here. You may have a 52 inch screen, and a 6.1 system, but it's still a DVD playing on a home theater system. It doesn't compare to a 40 foot screen playing on a digital 12.4 system.
I have to admit, I never saw this coming. It was one of those things that was always to be dismissed out of hand without even another thought... Repercussions?
I'm all for that. Show me someone trying to infringe upon our freedoms and I'll gladly choose to do something about it. Show me something that's simply idiocy and fearmongering and I'll criticise it. Can you back up your mindless rhetoric? Can you show me someone trying to invade? Can you show me someone trying to attack? I can on the second count, and we're not doing anything about it as I type. Pick your battles. Pick your deaths. If you pick Iraq, you're picking the wrong ones.

Aparently my brain is still suffering some Chuck Norris-related side-effects...such as overexposure

Funny How a rumor becomes fact just through repeating it everywhere...
Does this fall under the heading of "If we ask permission, it's not illegal anymore?"
...So it could take either 25 billion (admittedly a huge number) or THREE TIMES that already admittedly huge number? Thanks. That helps a lot.

Maybe he was old enough to drive, yet still going to High School...

I'm a little confused as to why neither Burnout 3 or Revenge came out on gamecube. Is it a power issue, or a rights issue?

And we will get the raw materials for these ventures...how exactly?
It's just damn easier than dealing with all the shit from stealing.
A buck a song? Genius.

Repercussions?
According to the specs, both will.
My girlfriend has been "geeking out" (her words, not mine) over the new website all day. She's even more excited about this than I am.
;)
Note to self: she's a keeper
