I heard they had to form a committee to research what exactly music videos are and whether they are relevant to the company's core business.
It's actually worse than that. They paid a consultant $2 million so that he could, after months of research, tell them that their core business should be music television.
And no, I am not joking. I was in the meeting, trying not to piss myself laughing.
I searched for a nameplate domain at Dotster, then tried to register it through a couple different registrars. All of them listed the.com as taken; only Dotster listed it as available.
yeah, let's become a nation without music, that is doubleplusgood All we need is the telescreen;)
We would only be a nation without music if everyone throws away the music they already own, which is stupid.
What is with this constant need to buy buy buy? Is it so horrible to enjoy the music you already own? If so, why did you buy it in the first place?
I find it easy to boycott the RIAA, as I own a large collection of music that I still enjoy. I don't need to get the new 50 cent single, "I just Shit a Golden Turd", and neither do you. For fuck's sake, have a little self control - or are we all just mass-consuming robots now, incapable of any self control?
Ooh, , what a/. staple. Next time you should try reading the book. The people were forced to buy things like gin, enforced consumerism, which 1) has nothing to do with boycotting, and 2) is most likely what these media cartels would love to have.

If the Congressman is so enamored with artists' rights, why doesn't he go after the recording companies and force them to stop signing artists to contracts that 1) give artists no rights to their own works, and 2) gives artists about $0.03 per album sold?
Money in his pocket!
This has nothing to do with artists rights, its all about the Chicken Little media companies that want make the entire world conform to their outdated business model.
So Congressman Fuckhead can shove it with his "I'm on your side" bullshit. Congressman are bought-and-paid-for whores.
You'd better get this through your thick skull. You have no idea who you are dealing with. I'm an attorney, I will sue you. I'm going to call your local police and have two officers come over and arrest you. I will make sure you will never be able to place an order on the internet again.

It can't possibly be worse than the horrible made-for-TV movies they show most of the time.
BSG is almost done; Prepare yourselves for Yeti: the Series.
Also, Craig Charles and Chris Barrie admitted to hating one another for most of the series. They didn't even speak off-camera until Series 7.
hmm...let's bring back that hate!

Yeah, and it'll stay that way.

Cool, then how about YOU bankroll those God-damned social leeches instead of me,
So you would rather pay to jail these people then to treat them? Do you think prison is free? Do cops and prison guards work for free too?
You can jail them for life, or treat them for a year. The choice is yours. Either way, you pay for them. The point is: don't fucking kid yourself.

Bah!
Yeah, your momma taught me all kinds of things...I mean damn, it is a miracle that she can breathe at all with her throat full of orc juice...
Wow, that sucks. You should smack your momma for naming you Larry the Cable Guy...

Damn, can't the alliance do anything besides corpse camp lowbies?
If DNF actually does come out, it will retail for like $500 to help pay for 10 years of development.

Bonzo and Big Bush paid Osama AND Saddam lots of money during the 1980s. Do you think they spent this money on shoufas and copies of the Koran?
I read the founding principles, everything sounded all warm and fuzzy.
I clicked a link on the DHTML menu bar, to view the members of this new effort.
My menu disappeared...
MY advice Bruce, is this: if you want to provide open competition and all that, do not write your website in IE code!
