It's like saying... 'Let's go have the MPAA and Microsoft team up'.. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
ACTUALLY, that doesn't sound so screwy. Just think; did AOL and Time Warner getting together make any sense either? -- The other side is crowded. The dead have nowhere to go.
I'm not quite sure that the progress of electronic communications will help our situation. Every day a budding musician has to travel farther in the scene in order to eat, since the big names keep becoming bigger and bigger. I'd prefer to concentrate on everything that's going on nearby, but too many people concentrate on high profile talent, and local music fizzles unless it's distinctive. I'm sure some people will say that the added competition makes the remaining few stronger, and they're probably right. But it does make it a pain in the butt to find fun shows and cool records if you're not into pop pap. -- The other side is crowded. The dead have nowhere to go.
Perhaps soon there will be laws requiring liability for lemon software just as in the automotive industry. (lemon laws) That would be a significant problem for shareware/free software authors.

What might possibly come out of a such an arrangement is an association or fund for small-time software developers that pays for litigation, insurance, etc. (maybe something of the sort even exists and I don't know about it) -- The other side is crowded. The dead have nowhere to go.
Wow, by making a knee-jerk post to the first few shortsighted reactionary idiots, I made an excellent point unintentionally! Thanks for noticing!:-D -- The other side is crowded. The dead have nowhere to go.
The claim specifically states that a REGISTRY KEY is involved. Does Linux have a registry? NO!
This is an automatic system. A registry key containing a date is checked against the current date, and the system queries a database over the Internet and checks for upgrades. It has nothing to do with RPM etc. -- The other side is crowded. The dead have nowhere to go.
And regarding that crack about the "time-honoured rules of music": All such rules came about after experimentation. Are you saying that musical innovation should stop now that we have found a solution? --

Nah, let him bug off if he wants to. They don't get it? Fuck 'em. We don't want 'em at our party. --

There are also laws regarding allowable times to call. Telemarketers are forbidden to call after 9 PM local time, lest they suffer the wrath of BUN BUN! -- The other side is crowded. The dead have nowhere to go.
72 dpi is even more historical than that. There have been 72 points in an inch since God knows when. The Mac's display was originally designed around that, so that one pixel == one point. -- The other side is crowded. The dead have nowhere to go.

Well, considering I STILL can't beat Contra without using the 30-man code, probably not.
