Each copyright will be initially assigned to an individual with a role in the creation of the work. Upon being granted, this copyright lasts for the life of the assigned individual, and no longer.
Distribution rights can be licensed from the individual to any entity, corporate or otherwise, but (exclusivity aside) no such right may be contractually removed from the holder except via a full transfer of copyright (so "You allow us to package and sell the work" is fine, but "You grant us distribution rights and agree to halt distribution of your own" will have no legal force). This transfer is permitted, but once a copyright has been transferred, its duration then drops to 5 years from date of first issuance.
Anything else that needs covering/fixing in this plan?
"It's not a DRM problem because it isn't DRM! I mean, how could this game be afflicted by copy protection when it's avialable for download from third party the same day?
"Rather, it's a new technology we're trying out. Digital Crippling Environment, or DCE for short. Unlike DRM, DCE isn't for stopping piracy. but it's for getting you to be constantly thinking about our product as you try to put it into a usable form. Maybe we'll even make the news, giving even more exposure to our product and giving EA the recognition it deserves! That's...good, right?"
Maine (2 districts) and Nebraska (3 districts) each assign 1 electoral vote to be winner-take-all only within the confines of the congressional district from which the vote is granted. The remaining 2 electors (granted by Senate seats) are winner-take-all within the whole state.
In 2004, Colorado had a referendum on the ballot whereby its electoral votes would be given proportionally based on each candidate's share of the statewide vote, and would take effect immediately if passed. The referendum was defeated, one of the reasons being that it would take a significant landslide for the distribution to be anything other than 5-4, and candidates would have little reason to campaign in Colorado if they were only fighting over who gets a 5th electoral vote, instead of all 9.
Accoring to Crystal Keep, Fork was restricted in the game's most permissive format from April 19, 1995 but was removed from that list on September 20, 2004. It remains unbanned and unrestricted to this day. More recently, in May 2005, the Saviors of Kamigawa set contained a Twincast card that's similar to Fork except that it requires blue mana instead of red. Clearly the team that makes the cards doesn't think that effect is unbalanced any more.
StepMania has support for arbitrary numbers of columns, allowing it to switch from DDR to PIU, IIDX, or some random custom game with a different control scheme. It adds mods not seen in DDR, such as Dizzy, Flip, Tornado, and "C"-class speed mods. It has a metrics system where just about anything you want can be re-skinned the way you want it.
Roxor Games, which is a studio that includes some of the StepMania developers, essentially took an altered version of the StepMania engine, fitted it out with a 3D theme and a set of songs, and released it as In the Groove. Give it a look.
From page 2 of the article:
Also, IBM -- along with Toshiba Corp. (6502.T: Quote, Profile, Research) and Sony -- has developed the Cell microprocessor that will power Sony's PlayStation 3 video game console, a competitor to the Xbox 360, Microsoft's next-generation gaming unit.
Who makes the chips for the Xbox360, again?
"Second half" refers to the release date of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. That's a different product from Fedora Core. That part of the article is saying "there's a feature that will be available in RHEL 5 late next year, but FC5 will let you see it sooner!"

COPA was the law that was overturned. COPPA is the relevant law here, and it remains in force.
I suppose we should have to pay $1300 for a Commodore 64 nowadays, too?
You don't even want to hear how much the RIAA thinks you should have to pay for a machine capable of a billion calculations per second...

Name one other legal music service that will work with iPod.
eMusic
The remaining 30 times, they press B, and 30% of those (= 9) give treats, for a total of 58.
NESvideos only deals in tool-assistance. Those who want to see full-speed, continuous runs have other sites to go to.

I had it pegged at the year 2330. Not too far off.
