    ALso, The only way you can accept money from Google is to either purchase ads for your web site, OR sell your item directly via google's interface. At least that is how I see it.

    Not having a google account to accept purchase is a big problem.

    While your logic is correct, your assuptions are wrong. This isn't about Domestic spying, there was never any domestic spying. The spying was done on INBOUND INTERNATIONAL CALLS FROM SUSPECTED TERRORISTS

    There is a huge difference there. Calls coming INTO our country from outside sources, from suspected terrorists. Rather simple, and in fact, implimented through many administrations, including Clinton. Remember Eschelon?

    In addition:

    "I'm personally outraged that my confidential communication with my clients may have been listened to by the U.S. government," said Rachel Meeropol, an attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights.

    Who is Rachel Meeropol?

    Rachel Meeropol, attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights. She is the grand daughter of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were executed on June 19, 1953.

    She is a member of the litigating team in Doe v. Bush, a case seeking legal representation for the unnamed detainees in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. She was a researcher on the recent Supreme Court cases Rasul v. Bush, another Guantánamo case, and Wilkinson v. Austin, which challenged due process at supermaximum-security prisons.

    Meeropol is currently lead counsel in Turkmen v. Ashcroft, a class action on behalf of Muslim men held in immigration sweeps following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, currently before the Eastern District of New York; Walton v. NYDOCS and MCI, a suit against New York state and the phone company MCI Inc. over MCI's monopoly contract on phone calls made from prison, on appeal in New York state court; and Daniels v. The City of New York, a racial-profiling class action against the New York City Police Department, which settled two years ago and resulted in modified training for police officers. In addition, Meeropol is the co-vice president of the New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild; a co-editor and primary author of the Jailhouse Lawyers Handbook, a reference guide for prisoners without an attorney to learn their rights; and the editor of America's Disappeared: Secret Imprisonment, Detainees, and the "War on Terror."

    While I realize I'm getting here late on the discussion, and my chance of this being seen is slim, this info has to be out there.

    The Center for Constitutional Rights - The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) was co-founded in November 1966 by the radical attorneys Morton Stavis, Ben Smith, Arthur Kinoy, and William Kunstler, longtime members of the Communist and radical left. Prior to forming the Center, Kinoy and Kuntsler circulated a lengthy memo calling for the creation of a "new Communist Party," which did not materialize.

    Among the most passionate crusades of Kinoy's legal career was his bid to save the lives of the convicted spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953. He took similar pride in his heralded 1972 victory when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government was obliged to obtain a warrant for telephone tapping, even in cases where national security was at stake.

    All of this and more was lifted from Discover the Networks, a Guide to the Political Left

    The Center for Constitutional Right is actually a center for NO Constitutional rights, just look at all there Comunist propoganda. What scares me is that these people's talking points are "fed" to Al Gore, and other members of the Democrat party.

    I looked at all the available packages, and I went with Snapstream across the board. I currently own, Beyond TV/Beyond Media/Firefly Remote. Its the best solution out there.

    On top of that, they have some really cool plugins that work with with Beyond TV and Beyond Media, like weather, Movie showtimes, DVD library and many others.

    IF ever Beyond TV 4 is released, it will capture not only in MPEG-2 but DIVX as well. Not to mention the ability for HD over the air capture.
