I'm fairly certain there was never a threat of it being taken away.. instead he was being asked to give it and was going to be offered a reasonable price for giving it to them.
I'm going to have to place you under arrest for thoughtcrime.
Crime no longer requires you do anything illegal, nor does it require you intend to do anything illegal; instead you just have to be a potential threat.
I wonder how long till weightlifting will be an arrest able offense? I mean, think about it, those guys are just getting strong so they can commit crimes! What other possible reason could there be?!
I'm not sure how you can equate an add on to your house with a myspace page..
other than the content supplied, the page belongs to myspace, and the content (being about barack obama) probably doesn't belong to the guy submitting it either..
If it was volunteer work for the Obama campaign then in all fairness, it belongs to Obama.
If they're so nice as to offer money, he shouldn't spit it back saying it's worth +$50,000; it's a freakin myspace profile for god sake, not a business with income.
It's not a cut-and-dried case of squatting -- Anthony had actually worked with the campaign on the profile. The campaign had password access, so that they could maintain some kind of control over the content just-in-case.
It isn't about money, IMO. This guy built a significant amount of grassroots support for Obama, then found out that presidential politics is big business, and there's no room for the little guy. How would you feel if a 2.5 year labor of love was pulled out from underneath you? The campaign told him to make an offer... he did, based upon an approximated value of the time he spent on the profile this year. They scoffed, and went around him.
This guy was working as volunteer, at what point does that mean he expects monetary compensation for his work?
If he was expecting something more than a 'good feeling for helping out', he shouldn't have signed up to help.. right now he's not helping, in fact, he's harming the cause.
It's strange, Rose said they wouldn't delete any more of the stories, yet all those protest posts seem to have vanished off the frontpage... there was at least 30 of them.
If either company has "1000 fans" that right there means they'd have to put out 1000 different products just to keep up.
I'm sure both have a lot more than 1000 fans and lot less than 1000 products.
Units on the other hand is a different story, I'd say there's little chance they have more fans than units shipped, if they did, that would be some phenomena that any company would want to emulate.
Most people don't want a movie more than once, music on the other hand (or software) gets listened to (used) over and over; often coming back to it months/years later.
It's the same with software, do you want to have to pay $29.95/month to use windows? (I'm sure MS would love that, but I can't think of a single person who would)
This is something the people want. Useful or not, the people do not approve of Cheney and he needs to go. I applaud the fact that the democrats are actually listening to the people instead of being the hardliner that ignores everyone the way the current administration is.
They're the happy medium. They give away their product for free, but if you want the extras (support) you gotta pay. I'm happy with that, as I'm sure most people are.

it was a joke.. :P
*looks up SatanicPuppy on google*
Ahah! You work for MacAddict! So much for lack of bias..
Wait wait wait..
You mean people who make those gaming maps don't do it strictly as a training ground for their future slaughter?!
I feel so deceived, why would Jack Thompson lie to me like that?!!

Is that really shocking?

Good thing I didn't say 2023 or you'd be really confused..!
Well, I was speaking for myself and I go to the gym every day..
So can I expect to see DDR at the 2022 Olympics as an event?
>That is not cool.
Right on maan, that does NOT ROCK..!!
Movies are entirely different.
Most people don't want a movie more than once, music on the other hand (or software) gets listened to (used) over and over; often coming back to it months/years later.
That still gives you rights you know.
When you *buy* software, you own a copy of it. Same with music.
It's the same with software, do you want to have to pay $29.95/month to use windows? (I'm sure MS would love that, but I can't think of a single person who would)

Programmers gotta pay the rent you know..
That would make the system significantly slower.. mind you wordpress isn't exactly fast as lightning as it is.
Well, we're talking about non addons, improvements here..
