  1. Take Action! on Apple (R)ejects Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Just an idea, but what if you went into Best Buy (or other large media store), and bought a non-CD, which I still displayed in the store as a CD. Take said non-CD home, and then returned it the next day? How much money the does the store lose with each return? How many returns would it take before a store would have to start seperating the non-CD's form the CDs. Is there a truth in advertising law that says these non-CD's can;t be sold under the category CD? Just thoughts...

  2. Restrict NOT Prohibit on Violent Video Game Protection Act · · Score: 1
    I'm not defending it, but if you read the actual bill it makes it illegal to sell the games to minors. It does not prohit the games themselves. The bill itself makes a ananolgy to the movie ratings, prohibiting entry of minors without parents. Funny thing is the bill's "justification." here I quote:
    "As confirmed by current scientific data, the repeated exposure to graphic violence and participation in violent interactive games may contribute to violent behavior by our youth and desensitizes them to acts of violence"
    Note the MAY contribute to violent behavior. Stupid politians MAY contribute to violent bahavior as well, should we restict them?
