  1. BILLY MAYS HERE... on Experimental Fees Settle Royalty War For Internet Radio · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With double standards! Remind me again why streaming is any different from broadcasting over radio waves?

  2. BILLY MAYS HERE... on Don't Copy That Floppy! Gets a Sequel · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...with scare tactics!

    Seriously though, the first DCTF was happy and upbeat (and for good reason, as many people simply didn't know that copying a floppy was piracy). What happened to that feel? Are we really at a point where we're so influenced by the RIAA/MPAA's ways of doing things that SIIA's first sequel in 17 years immediately jumps to scare tactics?

    Maybe it's just me, but I see this quickly becoming one of those "You wouldn't steal a car" type of things - jumping to such an extreme that it becomes a satire piece.

  3. If only you had listened... on Data Center Power Failures Mount · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm guessing that the majority of these were caused by leaks or spilled drinks. If only you guys had listened to me and gotten Zorbeez(tm)[SOAKS UP 10x ITS OWN WEIGHT!].

  4. Not even oxiclean on Sony Files Patent On "Any-Object" Motion Control · · Score: 3, Insightful

    can take the stains out of patent law that allows things like this. What if a user wants to use a wiimote as their motion device of choice with Sony's system? At that point does it fall under Sony's blanket patent? This is like carpet bombing - no specific target, just try and cover as much ground as you can.
