You're right, I don't know, but they will become irrelevant despite all of that.
I know that ASCAP is supposed to facilitate those things, but what they are doing right now doesn't make any sense.
Open Source doesn't take money away from anyone. It never has and never will. People who participate any sort of copyleft (or even copyfree) licensing do so WILLINGLY. By equating the EFF and others like them with copyright infringers using bittorrent to illegally trade in the work will backfire on them and cause them to become irrelevant. If they want to win some real points, especially amongst the intelligencia, their arguments need to be based in reality. Ad hominem and other such logical fallacies used to attack them WILL eventually backfire. They will marginalize themselves because no one will become/remain a member just due to the bad press.
I CopyFree license all my work using the OWL just because I think it's DUMB to restrict my work. If I can make money off of it, fine. Otherwise, it probably stunk in the first place and I need to move on to the next project.
How do I make a living? With a little work and ingenuity.
ASCAP is going to become irrelevant as content producers such as authors move to distributing digitally exclusively so that they get more money from the purchase of their works.
Amazon gives authors of e-books 70% of purchase price? When I'm ready to publish I'll pay for software to produce content in a manner that Kindle users will be able to easily read my content and sit back and watch as either the $$$ roll in or the cob-webs collect (depending on if my content is any good). Either way, I'll already have moved on to my next project.

agreed. I wouldn't need the waaaaaambulance if I was earning $150k/yr.
The Bible is the inerrant word of God.
And seriously, attacking the sig instead of paying attention to the content? Nice. Real classy.
The cake is a lie.
doesn't help any. ): *has excellent karma, browses with ads turned off, still a.fsdn.com slows down /.*
I like that fantasy, tell me more about it! lol

Thanks for the link, I think I love you now though because you saved me a butt-load of headache. I wonder what the B&N contract is like. *googles*
Ah, the joys of living in CA. Glad I live in TN.
Then why are they enforcing a patent the USPTO disqualified?!

I don't program and even I know better than that. Sheesh.
Does the ITC have any legal weight in the US?
big corp or indy web developer, if his stuff is getting ripped off, sue sue sue if they won't be polite.
The article says it, but not the submission. I for one appreciate the expansion and link as the battery is the star here, not Toyota.
Now that's a stretch.
Mechanical problems can be avoided or quickly (relatively speaking) fixed in a number of ways. Weather cannot be fixed (by humans, at least).
No, that would be an epic win of epic proportions. (:
lol epic win (:
You couldn't leave her (it) if you tried?
Since I don't know of any sky wizards (or sky fairies) I cannot answer your question.
Still not seeing the connection between it and the transistor.
Lets see, one is a mechanical problem, the other is weather. I'd say a big difference, and not just in scale.
tmw;ddi (too much work; didn't do it)

If he read /., he could state that as fact. :p
I've used it more than once to get content from some of my old sites.
