I was going to post a joke about criminals move to 21st US city, but your above made me think of something. Money from government to the billboard companies. I just looked it up: it's a deal with Clear Channel. If my cynicism weren't on the holidays, I'd call this little thank you bundle from Bush's DOJ to the guys who organize pro-war rallies and blacklist artists who critique our Texan leader.
As the saying goes, same difference. Somewhere along the lines there may be been discussions about product placement (or worries that the real brand name is affiliated with the plot lines), but be sure, WB and NBC legal make sure that fictional trademarks do not infringe or cause confusion with any brands, as the law currently defines it, whether is was about cya or not giving any one free advertising. As was pointed out, they have the money and experienced lawyers on stand by.
I think the plan would be, once the machines are in the hands of the kids, politically connected Microsoft vendors whisper into willing ears that learning Microsoft products is to learn what the adult world uses and keeping kids away from Windows and Office is doing them a disservice, so let's buy some licenses. Add in local accommodations that grease the wheels of public policy and procurements and ka-ching. The beauty of the deal will be that the licenses will be per machine whether or not Windows gets installed.
Well, if the 6 billion dollar figure is correct, give 1-1/2 billion to ISPs to filter and police. Use 1-1/2 billion to pay off the pirates and... PROFIT!
Perhaps -- and granted this is a selfish consideration -- Mr. Bay thinks himself a victim of the corporate pissing wars, because he will earn less money on his back-end deal as his studio took a payoff in order to keep the high-def fracture current.
Exactly. Is Parloff an attorney? Did he miss the bar exam question as to which take precedence, signed documents or the feelings of people years later?
Promotional bookings. No change. Not one dollar to RIAA goes to artist development and support. Bookings relate to popularity, availability, and when all things are equal, if the program is a booking agency's package, then musical artists represented by that agency move to the front of the line.
Radio is a more complex question. Do the radio stations believe that digital music increases or decreases their listenership? How much radio programming is actually based on the artists the big labels sell? While the radio stations leverage the fact that they can make songs hits and there are more good records than airplay slots, they are constrained by having to do some amount of giving the listeners what they want. As they are also promoting local concerts (well, ClearChannel is), they can't afford to base every decision on back room deals and accommodations. I guess it comes down to how they felt the record companies suing grandmas helps or hinders their business and how significantly. I tend to believe radio will sit out this one: it's really hard for me to expect that the other record companies could make a compelling case as to why a radio station should stop playing Beatles music.
It doesn't mean it was handled well, but good or bad Lucas loves archetypes in stories and echoing the films that were the curriculum at USC. With the passage to the dark side, we were seeing a variation of Faust where a deal is made with Mephistopheles over immortality. Anakin was disposed towards the deal because he lost his mother (and those sequences in Ep. 2 allude to John Ford's classic The Searchers.)
As for Han shooting first originally, that is straight out of Howard Hawks' playbook. Hawks always argued that the good guy, if he had any respect for the bad guy, would damn sure shoot first. (As far as that goes, two males in a romantic triangle with quick witted woman, that is so Howard Hawks. Speaking of Hawks, Leigh Brackett, who is a co-writer of Ep. 5, was co-writer of The Big Sleep and Rio Bravo for Hawks.)
Not to say that this particularly justifies Lucas's choices. But regardless of dialog, casting, or obnoxious side characters, all six episodes show excellence in production design and push the envelope of rapid visual exposition. But isn't that the 30+ year cliche thing to say about Lucas? Editing and visuals, awesome, story, acting and dialog, hit and miss. Go back and look at American Graffiti.
Wasn't there a standard clause about unknown future media in the publishing agreements back in the 80s? I seem to remember seeing that in the boilerplates shown in the "Business of Music" books. Plus, video games were around in the mid-80s. In answer to your question, I'm sure that the songwriters and their publishers are getting money for the song's use. It is a derivative work. Not that I'm a lawyer, etc.
As I understand it, arrangement is not copyrightable. And what is the "sound" any way except a combination of instruments, amplifiers, effects, and tape? What? Some engineer at Morley gets the copyright on all wah guitar recordings? And I thought the Californication suit was about as dumb as it gets.
My senior Senator, The Honorable Mrs. Feinstein, gave a key endorsement to Mukasey and a few days later announced her support for phone company immunity.
Oh, yeah. incontrovertibly, the phone company's donation lead over the cable industry is insurmountable.
Big fan of Elvis Costello, I respect the hell out of him, but I understand that the job was as basic operator, meaning he was mounting and unmountng data reels.
There's a phenomenon I've noticed in show biz. Let's posit 3 releases, A, B, and C. A is a phenomenonal success and well loved. So when B comes out, it sells well. If in fact the fans of A don't like the B they bought, then C tanks, despite its merits. Now the funny part is the suits argue that B's numbers are more important than the critic's brickbats (well dollars speak louder than words) as they greenlight C. Let's see how Spiderman IV does. Peter Frampton sold a lot of copies of I'm In You, follow up to Frampton Comes Alive, and I would need to be under deep hypnosis bringing forth repressed memories to give you the name of the recording after that.
As to the original point, and not having read the fragrant article, I think Apple has much more to lose if they rush a release before they are satisfied its ready. Reading all the "you guys went through this when XP came out and now you're happy" comments from Windows fans/apologists drives home the point that a year of marginal usefulness and some regression is understood as the Microsoft way. I don't believe Apple could get away with it. As for sales figures, Macs have been selling real well all year.
So the dinosaurs bellow in the night, pull their tracks, and now look at the shelf space for the independents: smaller, hungrier people who see opportunity in the new distribution technologies. The dinosaurs seem to have forgetten the door they left open during the three years they didn't get MTV.
If I were Apple, I'd talk to the independents and help them start some internet radio channels and provide sponsorships so the new channels can afford the air talent and the short-term loan to Sound Exchange (who will be collecting all internet recording performance fees and then giving out to the record companies who hold the copyrights on the recordings.) People only buy what they hear and can find.
Is that really a valid baseline? Every new release takes a year to two of use before it catches up with usability of the system it replaced?
I'm thinking, Vista works slam dunk nicely last January and its adoption rate improves immensely. If Ubuntu 7.10 or Leopard rolls back some of my systems' usefullness I am going to be miffed and loudly so. Do want you did last time is my expectation for upgrades. Could be why, somewhere between ME and 2K I started reducing my Windows use to a bare minimum.
I have just been plunged into Office 2007 land. She'll think it blows. Everyone where I work (small business) thinks it blows. I've made my peace with it, mainly because the old menu mnemonics are still supported, i.e., in Excel/ir will insert a row, and I've installed OOo.o and I down-save the stuff that matters of 97/2000 format. But if one is the always mouse to the menu type, one will hate that actions are reorganized

And who put the other 80 percent up there?
2008 will be the year of the Linux Borg Headgear.

Sounds like 1973 and Quadraphonic to me.
* and sit within the 8 square foot diamond.
Did some research. Answers are yes, silly question, no, not related.
Let me ask a silly question here. Could this behavior be some unintended consequence to enforcing the DRM?

That's pretty much how I understand it. Also commonly understood type face names, such as Helvetica, are trademarks and so those names are protected.
