Thats what this is. I can't beleive that.god is even being considered over a billion helpful.tld's. Wasn't there just recently a post about suggested.bank and such. I hate being the voice of reason, but the whole net should know better.. besides.. thou shalt not have strange gods before me.. or something. I just doesn't seem right.
I know it must be rough having big corps breathing down one's neck, but this just seems like one instances were the web-liberty's spinal chord needs to stand strong. This isn't about copyright infringment or any of that jazz, its about corporations not wanting to be insulted, and corporations are always going to try to stop people from corrupting their public image. I would be nervous too if big companies gave me that legal bullshit, but in this case, theres really nothing to fear.
I think part of the frustration of the cd purchasers is that they are paying for something that is now easily distributed but still costs $20. I support the legal angle of listen to what you own, but couldn't the issue be sidestepped by upgrading the quality platform from cd to dvd, that way the customer has a product whose value is not equivelent to say 60 megs of mp3 space on their computer. There would be a much higher motivation to purchace better sounding products and the value would be retained. I realize that at that point we'd all have to buy new music players, but we didn't complain when tapes went out of style.
Ill tell you why mozilla is taking so long, too many frills, they try to finish them all at once. The browser itself is riddled with bugs and people are working on the composer. How bout a stripped down full functional browser befor the bells and wistles.
