As there is no possibility of a claim against those that do not have music then they have no standing to claim any money, coffee house != music venue, doing so without any basis in fact is attempting to obtain money by deception, this may also possibly constitute barratry, which may or may not be a criminal matter depending on jurisdiction.
IANAL. This fits the definition of fraud, i.e. attempting to obtain money by deception, I would contact the police, give them any evidence and let them deal with it, if the police don't do anything because of their ties to the industry then that's corruption and you should contact Internal Affairs or whatever they go by these days, if they do nothing then it's probably upto the Feds. If no joy on any of these I suggest that someone set up a website to collect donations for a private criminal prosecution. I am not a lawyer but a close family member is a member of the judicary in the UK and as US law was based on UK law the standards should be similar.
Surely this would constitute libel against those who run the site, as soon as it actually happens I hope they put up a nice big donation button on The Bay so I can contribute to a civil suit.
Yes but the government seems intent on emulating the Taliban, next they'll be banning The Story of 'O', Lady Chaterleys Lover, etc, etc, and burning books in the streets, I guess they decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Will it hit the Whitehouse? I can see the headline now... President Bush killed by flying Scat, Al Qaeda run National Weather Service stormed by FBI... Tubgirl also in custody...
Actually I have nothing against Jews, or Aryans, I do however have something against Nazis and Zionists and anyone else who would use violence against any group of people for no reason other than a spurious claim to be Gods Chosen People(TM), perhaps that's the difference between a Humanist and a Psychopath.
You missed the 3rd option, they don't like us because our governments keep killing them for their resources and for Jews, just as we didnt like the Nazis when they were killing us for our "leibensraum" and for Aryans. Yes, I know, I just Godwined the thread, but remember what Benito Mussolini said "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.".
I agree completely, I remember coding a ray tracing app on 4 T800s 17 years ago and it stomped all over the x86 implementation, and I loved Occam and the nice folding editor they had, Inmos were well ahead of the game, the death of Inmos was particularly sad, if anyone wants to resurrect them I'd be more that interested.
Reason #1. Halliburton is far more efficient than the US government (even though Halliburton is commonly seen as inefficient, it still takes 2 to 3 Government employees to do the amount of work 1 Halliburton employee does.). #2. Halliburton does have a reasonably good company, the Left-Wing (and the media is left wing, 40% of reporters are liberal, while only 15% are conservative) media just overplays every tiny mistake they make.
That should read Unsubstantiated Assertion #1/#2 surely? I couldnt find anything to back that up, can you?
Actually, Saddam did have WMDs. Few people heard about this, but there were hundreds of canisters of sarin and mustard gas artilery shells found in Iraq. Not as impressive as the WMDs we suspected him of having, but still WMDs none the less.
As someone else has already pointed out the few found were left over from the 80s, I can tell you as I have read the U.N. inspectors report on Iraqi WMD that their sarin was of such low quality it was only usable 4-6 weeks after production, after that it had broken down so much it was useless. Want a link, how about the US government-

To a limited extent Saddam did provide some aid to AQ (though not much, it was mostly that Saddam knew AQ was there and offered them protection) and look who we are fighting in Iraq right now, AQ. Oh, but wait, there are no AQ in Iraq.
Bin Laden, who views the rigid Saudi theocracy as insufficiently Islamic, has long considered Saddam Hussein an infidel enemy. Before Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, Bin Laden warned publicly that the Iraqi dictator had designs on conquering Saudi Arabia. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, Bin Laden offered to assemble his mujahedeen to battle Hussein and protect the Arabian peninsula.
So you see these are what we call known knowns as Rummy would say.
From the link to the Chairman Daniel Yergins wikipedia page-
Daniel Yergin also wrote and hosted a PBS production called "Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy". This 3-part television production was an advomentary (advocacy documentary) which made the case for free markets by interpreting the economic history of the 20th Century from a capitalist perspective. Yergin interviewed many high profile free-market advocates such as Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and Robert Rubin who presented economic history as a battle between centralized command economies and free market economies.
If he is seriously suggesting that Dick Cheney is interested free markets why does Halliburton get no-bid contracts... DOH! Next they will be telling you the 30% water cut on the Saudi Ghawar oil field is nothing to be concerned about, oh and remember Saddam has WMD and is helping AQ and global warming doesnt exist, oil companies don't conspire with corrupt governments and oh yes fairies and elves really do exist./sarcasm
Except MSFT will have to refuse to sell to people building AMD based systems because they will be based on processors that have virtualisation technology, Intel will go the same way with hardware virtualisation, it will the only way to deal with hardware like this Intel fabs 80-core teraflop processor if MSFT sells to people who are using it on hardware that has virtualisation in it, then the EULA will be useless at best and at worst they could be accused of breaking it to begin with.
