I agree with the premise of your argument that businesses need to negotiate with their suppliers, but the problem is that these rates are being set by the US Copyright Commission, a federal organization. The question is whether the RIAA will negotiate a separate agreement or stay with this one.
I think it will be interesting how ClearChannel is affected. Many of their stations stream their play list/drivel. I bet they do not even know how much this will cost them yet.
Marketing does not necessarily mean lying or even misleading. There is misleading marketing but marketing is not inherently the spread of false information.
Consumer Reports is an invaluable resource and the purchasing agent should always do due diligence on the product or service. But, businesses and consumers must be made aware of the options that should be researched. That awareness is done through marketing whether it is done actively through a newsletter or passively through a web site.
Marketing makes capitalism better. Marketing educates consumers and businesses about their options. The more options that businesses and consumers are aware of, the better decisions that they can make. This can only be done when businesses are allowed to market their products and services.
When the spinach in California was found to have e.coli. People stopped buying it, restaurants stopped buying it, and supermarkets eventually stopped putting it on their shelves. The market took care of it. If spinach starts getting people sick, people adjust and stop buying it. Those are the incentives to improve using the example that you gave.
If they do this, I'm not going to buy Office 2007. I don't want my office "productivity" suite cluttered up with a lot of extra options on how to do things. I want Microsoft to tell me! Long live.doc, the one true format.
The best part about my Apple IIc was that it had a handle to make it seem portable. Unfortunately, the monitor was not attached and was not portable. It seems Apple is better in the design department these days.

I went there as a kid, and saw the annex. Doe they still have the AC-130 in the annex? Now that would make a bold statement as airforce one...
yes, and a B-2
Warning, I got a really disgusting NSFW picture when I clicked on the phrase "it would agree to this". I would advise that the link be deactivated.
I agree. Where is the outrage? You're paying the extra amount to have it DRM free. Can I pay super-extra to have it not contain my email address?

I thought that joke was very funny. I guess the moderator didn't.

What do you really think about Republicans?
Somebody didn't get the memo. Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig were just "forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint" last week. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,210645,00.html
How many of those organizations have targeted Americans in the past 5 years? none
Call this post flame bait, but I have to ask, how would Microsoft do a movie?
I would fear this army of robots but, since it runs Linux, it can do no harm.

Thank you. That is a good point.
Google can't buy Skype unless it buys Ebay too. How did this comment get moderated up?
The future of the desktop is healthy.

Madden, Madden and Madden. Does anyone on /. play sports games?
Also, don't content providers already have to pay to have their stuff hosted?
Well, I also yell it at strangers.
Enough with the complaining! What are we going to do about this?
I saw the RSS title and I thought it was about writing comments on /. Am I spending too much time on this web site?
