Yes, false. Collusion is not illegal. Blockbuster pays less than you do at Target for a Disney movie. But you're not allowed to lease yours. If you wanted to compete with Blockbuster, you'd have to pay upwards of $100 for that same video you buy for $10 as a consumer and Blockbuster "licenses" for around $1.
That has nothing to do with why Blockbuster is still in business. It is because they have e a monopoly position created by a cartel of corporations who control communication in America. Most of you kids don't remember, but there was a time when you could rent movies from more than 1 and a half establishments. But the movie studios and the studios will not sell "rentable" videos to anyone else and the government has outlawed all others.
Yes, in America, libraries are illegal.
It helps that New Line has just about the only DVDs that people actually would want to watch anyway. Can you think of anything else you've seen in recent years that's worth a second viewing? The original Matrix was the last one for me.
I got beat up by football players in high school, but I loved it. It's called second string. All week long I got beat up, and then cheered from the sidelines during games. Man, I'm stupid.
The FCC would have something to say if you tried promoting your music on the radio without permission of the RIAA. That's right, you cannot be played legally on the radio. Also, there are very few (none that I know of) commercial outlets that sell music in any volume without specific authorization from the RIAA. It's a racket. As in protection. This is the type of thing RICO was meant to stop. Sure you can tour (just not sell tickets through any major vendor), but you can't get any big venue. As if you'd need one, remember you're trying to promote your music, you're not popular yet.
All you walmart haters are just being false. It doesn't have anything to with prices or jobs or capitalism. It's racism, pure and simple. You hate having to shop at the same store as Mexicans and black people.
It might be a breach of contract (actually, probably only a violation of Academy rules) for which the Academy could seek compensation in a civil suit, or at least revoke his membership, but I don't see why my money is going to support thugs to arrest people that Hollywood Studios don't like.
If he loaned them out to someone else who made copies *for profit* then he might be an accessory to a crime.
Hey!
I have a Pentium 60 running an indistinguishable, heavily patched Redhat 5.1 for email, web, and general tinkering... and I've got heaps of money.
Actually, it's because the logical part of your brain that points out flaws in your solutions to complicated problems is, not surprisingly, asleep.
That's why it seems like everything just makes sense when you dream of an answer or dull your senses with drugs. On some rare occasions, you may have erronious facts that the logical part of your brain uses to dismiss possible answers, and by uninhibiting your thinking, you come to to correct solution on accident, which, of course, can only be verified after testing by the logical part of your brain later.
The trick is, if you're in the position to have many erronious facts inhibiting your ideas, chances are, you are just stupid, and any "creative" solutions you come up with will very likely be wrong.
Does the official Libertarian policy (or at least your interpretation of it) boil down to that "under Libertarian party rule, you would be freer (happier) than under the current ruling party.
I, for one, do not welcome our differently named oppressor hopefuls with different slogans but the same promises.

If your sales go down by 50% in one quarter and then up by 50% the next, you have a net loss.
Resume only has one accented e
What do you mean "various?"

And you wonder what the whole DeCSS fiasco was about.
Where can you get a rental for $2? Isn't Blockbuster pushing $4 a movie, and you don't even get a discount for old stock, just a couple extra days.
You're damn lucky the superbowl isn't in September or October.
The past for me.

You can bring a lawyer to small claims court, but he does not represent you.

Stop being a consumer and become a potential customer. Then the power becomes yours.
I don't think you can (or ever could) buy Levis at WalMart.

your saying about diplomacy was intended as derisive of diplomacy.

The burgers are Ronalds, but the lawsuits are Darl's
if the Salt Lake City Weekly article quotes him correctly. It's "Ark of the Covenant", not "ark and the covenant".
Actually, alcohol has much the same effect. You think you're smarter, and that girls are prettier, and that they want you.
overt advertising is demonstratable *way* more effective than subliminal advertising.
