Yes but they would be a monopoly because they are good, they're business tactics are not quite as harsh as Microsft's and I doubt they would push EVERYONE out of the market.
"So, since Canadian artists and their management have given you the shaft without benefit of reach around, you are going to turn around and stick it to the rest of the world?"
Boo hoo, poor Americans, god forbid any one should hurt YOU economicly. But of course your government should be allowed to put tarrifs on Canadian products such as soft lumber, despite our free trade agreement.
I am Canadian, and I am not anti-American in the least, I love the states. But it gets really tiring listening to Americans whine about people hurting their economy, etc when they constantly do those same things to other countries, they're always taking a do as we say not as we do attitude towards everything.
Here in Toronto you can get free wireless access almost any where. In all the apartment buildings I go into I can get a signal, almost anywhere downtown except for in the subway, and even in many very unexpected places such as my grandparents out in the suburbs.
"All in all, the FCC has taken a reasonable first step. If consumers want their HDTV, they have to accept limits on the ability to redistribute TV shows on the Web. Shelter from pirates will help broadcasters venture into the digital era. And that will benefit everyone except the pirates."
Arrr, shiver me timbers. You won't find much shelter on da high sea. Shes a harsh mistres.
Hop-on has secured multiple disposable-cell-phone patents from the STX patent collection. These patents have an effective filing date back to December 1995, which we believe predates all other patents directed to disposable cell phone technology. These patents include very broad claims directed to a method of operating a disposable cell phone with pre-programmed minutes. The patents further strengthen our competitive advantage, barring entry into the market by other companies."
"With all of the police pursuits in California, can mandatory GPS and disabling devices in all vehicles be far away?"
Simply put... No, that won't happen. Do you know why there are so many police chases in California? Because the police enjoy them, think about it, I know I certainly would love chasing around bad guys at high speeds then beating the snot out of them once they were caught. Here in Toronto the police were banned from chasing cars if the persuit became to dangerous (i.e. high speeds on city streets). Because innocent bystanders not to mention the fleeing criminals themselves were getting injured and killed all the time. But of course nothing like that would ever happen in the U.S. because of the sheer amount of power the police have.
The problem in the U.S. is that policing has been turned into a business. There are many people making large sums of money from enforcing nonsense laws, such as marijuana possesion. What reasoning is there behind spending millions of dollars a year on busting teenage kids for $10 worth of weed and sending them to jail till their 30? Not only does the state end up spending even more money on keeping those kids in jail but it also screws up their lives. What is more likely to mess up someones life, smoking a joint and getting stoned for a couple hours or going to jail for ten years?

Why would they move from the Ritz to Motel 6?
Exploited? Everyone that goes on that show gets paid.
No, cookies suck. Registration is just a prick in the back.
If the people commiting crimes with guns don't have them then why would other people need guns to protect themselves?

Just what we need, another monopoly

Now even more half assed copies of various Apple technolongies by Microsoft.
If you notice Microsoft is now calling Plug Ins "Add Ons". Could this be due to the lawsuit the just lost against Eolas?
Who said anyone was going to pay for Windoze 2003?
I am already getting a 404 error...
