DirecTV can't dump their Tivo stock and then disconnect DirecTivo. That would be trading based on inside information, and is illegal. They have to wait at least long enough so it looks like they got the disconnect idea after they got the idea to sell Tivo stock.
It's been said that, if British Intelligence had been as squeamish about homosexuality during wartime as it was during peacetime, Turing would have been arrested sooner, and Germany would have won the war.
There are lots of them at really low prices, RIAA and it's thugs don't get a cut, there's incredible variety of music, and you can do what you will with the bits on the disk.
So many complain about the lack of diversity in RIAA's current crop of "entertainers," while there's about a quarter-century of digital music waiting to be rediscovered.
When I was single, I had the ability to eat things that were too strange for other people, but that worked for me.
For example, for a low-fat meal that had the prescribed amount of protein & carbs, I would mix dry curd cottage cheese into canned spaghetti sauce, over whole-wheat pasta. Also, storebought burritos with cottage cheese on the side. Grits. Ground turkey.
Now I'm married and eating more traditional foods, and back to being overweight again.
I've always marvelled at the concept of connecting our planetary network to a big open port aimed at space, hoping some packets of alien email might arrive.
Let's hope we get a chance to think before someone opens the attachment.

I think the hidden angle is that New York wanted the unclaimed royalties to be in the custody of New York, which means if they go unclaimed long enough, they belong to New York.
Ergo, RIAA losing contact with performer doesn't mean RIAA keeps the royalties.

Just ask Martha Stewart.

Sun.
Airplanes will crash, nuclear weapons will detonate, and NBC will air a hokey movie about it all.
I'm just glad I live in a later timezone. Oh, wait....
> We've known since the early 80s that video killed the radio star.
Radio and recording killed the live artist.
Suppose that recorded music did, indeed, die. Then we'd all have to go to live performance to enjoy music.
I, for one, don't really see that as a terrible thing.
Live music is best.

Reasoning based on an unproven premise is unsound, by definition.
