"Lose music sales" due to illegal P2P sharing. File lawsuits. Profit. File more lawsuits. Profit."
Actually, you're wrong about the profit part. By their own admission:
RIAA anti-P2P Campaign a real money pit, according to testimony (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071002-music-industry-exec-p2p-litigation-is-a-money-pit.html)
From the same trial, no less.
So yes, not only are they pissing off their customers, but they're actually managing to lose money while doing it.
Seriously guys, this is worthy of the Inquirer. Slashdot should hold itself to a higher standard rather than posting unsubstantiated crap just for the sake of MS bashing.
The mini was one of the best pieces of SciFi that I've seen in a long, long time. I only hope that they're able to maintain the standard on a weekly basis. Anyone who hasn't seen this miniseries should seriously look into it.
It's too bad that there's so much negativity surrounding this project, mainly from supporters of the original series.
Frodo actually fails in his quest. When the moment of truth arrives, he's unable to cast the ring into the fire. Technically, he fails. Luckily, Gollum is there to save the day, so to speak.

That, my friends, takes talent.
...and nature will build a better idiot. Can't wait to see how many times this story is linked in the next 12 months.

Looks like somebody had inside info that this was coming and dumped a load of shares.
A short period of rebound followed, then at 11:48 the shit really hit the fan (those aren't freckles in Darl McBride's most recent photo folks).
