If you own property in two states, are you taxed for all property in your "home" state, or does each state tax the property that is in that state? I'm not certain, but I expect real estate (stationary) is taxed by the state it is in, while movable property is taxed by the "home" state. The issue here is whether a geostationary satellite is legally stationary or movable. If it's stationary, it is in a jurisdiction that has no taxes. ___
First, its subscribe-to-remove ads... later, when they have enough of a base to pay from within those ranks, the corporate bozo's will slowly kludge the business model over toward relying on the subscribers... and the rest of the site will be phazed out ever-so-slowly.
And then they'll introduce ads for the paying subscribers. ___

Notice that nowhere did I state that the world body should have a sovereign right to enact laws beyond regulating commerce.
That is the theoretical limit on the US federal government that they used to make a huge number of laws that aren't commerce related. Now the federal government can make any law they want as long as it "affects" interstate commerce and isn't otherwise unconstitutional. ___
37. For instance, under the first sale doctrine, an owner of a piece of software can transfer her program to whomever and for whatever she desires. The use of a license prevents this doctrine from applying, which allows computer programming firms to price-discriminate between customer characteristics. If Microsoft wants to give Windows software to public schools at a cost blow the production cost and the transaction consummates a sale, the first sale doctrine would apply, and the school could resell the programs at a higher price to a corporation, retaining the difference. This would cause Microsoft to charge all customers one price, either by lowering its price, forcing it to run at a loss, or raising its price, thus making the program unavailable to schools and other meagerly funded organizations. This result is economically inefficient and would most assuredly be politically unpopular.
How is this not true for books? Textbooks, for instance? Would we be served by adding anti-fair-use licenses to textbooks, so poor schools could get them cheaper? ___
Politics isn't a one-axis thing. I'd guess there are at least as many dimensions as there are people. Unfortunately, with everyone being pulled right of left, it's hard to move forward. ___
And if they attempted to make "Shrek" with the computers of the seventies, it would take forever, too. I think technological advances are expected. ___
If patent law was reined in, then universities would again be the centers of research, since university people are not motivated solely by profit - they also want to publish. ___
However, the tube does not necessarily need to be pressurized. If the car of the elevator were to be properly equipped, you would not have to. Yet this means that the elevator would have to carry an oxygen source.
Bringing it back to the airplane/space shuttle example. In any case, in most plans, the car runs up and down the outside of the shaft, rather than inside. That saves a great deal of material, and pretty much mandates the pressurized section being restricted to the car. ___
Not exactly. Most MP3s are created by the end user, and therefore cannot have been stolen. That's not to say they aren't illegal. But they are certainly free. ___
That's true of passwords as well. I guess it may be slightly less difficult to match a fingerprint with a name than it would be to match a userid with a name, though. ___
Well, there is a certain mindset out there that might appreciate the more exotic T-shirts, for example, rather than the bland stuff released by the big named stars... ___

Cool. Maybe some real 3d sound is coming up. Characters talk on the screen, and the sound comes from that point on the screen. ___
