it is not really that hard to see why motorola has cratered as a company. Here, I will start with one reason. Iridium Feel free to list the long long list of other terrible decisions over the last 20 years.
new line refused to pay Peter Jackson for Lord of the Rings saying it did not turn a profit and you hear about record companies getting naive bands to sign bad contracts all the time. Are you really stealing from people who often stole what they are selling?
microsoft earned their reputation from their behavior. Google is not squeaky clean, but has not engaged in the same type of underhand crap that microsoft is known for.
If the mpaa wants to be a horse and buggy maker in a car world instead of offering what people want in a digital world with steep discount to reflect the internet ease of reaching people and the almost no distribution costs then they should continue to have to chase these "infringers" themselves. It is not a government problem.
hilarious to see them complain "despite pressure from major Hollywood studios looking to compensate for poor DVD sales.", but still refuse to adapt their business model to a reasonable online distribution. $5 for a streaming movie? That is just bad business.
all the problems people had with mainframes you are starting to see with remaining mainframes "the cloud". No on cares about your data as much as you do no matter what they tell you or promise.
That is like writing software without ever talking to the people that use it. Stupid, but a lot of people do it and wonder why they are not successful.
"the cloud" is just dumb terminals all over again. After businesses make a bunch of money on the cloud they will then start selling local solutions again to try and mitigate problems with being on the cloud.
will be a change in the riaa and mpaa business models that adapts to the current business environment. They can piss in the wind all they want, I guess they like wearing it.
the riaa and mpaa refuse to adapt their business model to the current environment. Anytime they want they could adopt a model like Valve's Steam Gaming Service. People behaving as irrationally as the mpaa and riaa is actually a good tactic.
how about the US use that money to help people instead. There is no reason to be spending that kind of money on defense when there is literally no threat to the US mainland.
If Fargo is successful in raising the money I think this really points to the fact the publishers may not know what they are doing as well as they think they do. A huge market they are not servicing and appear to have no visibility to? Not good business.

it is a tax that is the burden of regular people and they don't really care if taxes are hard on working families.
a tax break for regular people that actually helps the economy? Nope, can't have that.
As an American I agree. When I come back to the US I dread it like I am a visitor in my own country.
that is how they do it when they push draconian laws (think of the children!), why would it not work to get rid of the tsa?
the cloud is still just mainframes that someone decided to rename "the cloud" so people would not point out all the limitations with mainframes.

it is only a world economy until it helps regular people.

where climate change deniers think they are going to live if they are wrong.

my bet is that they would just end up with a bunch of cat pictures from regular people sick of government snooping.
IMHO, video on demand is for people who have trouble figuring out what the internet is.

who did not understand that?
make what is illegal legal and legally prosecute anyone that exposes it.
maybe the mpaa should stop trying to be a horse and buggy maker in a car world instead.

it was a legal disk. I played it in a legal bluray player. It did not work. I never bought another one.
