I agree. Now we need light pens to draw circles around the product placements and hit "nuke", which causes an Ajax script to rewrite the text minus the worst ads.
All these ad hominem comments here are declaring $0 penalties for copyright violations in variants of the Chewbacca defense.
Prosecution: "Your honor, AP falsely took my copyright and added their own notice to it." Defense for AP: "Don't have to pay. Submitter was a dumba$$." Judge: "Rule for Defense. No damages incurred."
Isn't applying your own copyright notice to something that's copyright by someone else... STEALING it?? (Notice the beautiful difference from just "duplicating/making available etc".)
See, as long as those insane copyright rulings are going on, all analogies to cars, potato chips, contractors, etc miss the point.
It's noteworthy because it's not carpentry, it's copyright.
Over on the other topic we discovered that violation of copyright is worth some $600,000+ to 1.92 Million.
So the claim that "the user has all burden to check their submission for copyright legality before submitting it to our license software" is what's at stake here.
We're talking about copyright, sometimes specifically music, right?
So what happens when the organizations try to usurp content that is not theirs?
Don't we just wheel this entire trial speech with MadLib(TM) names switched?

Ok, so here's the deal. A Finnish demoscener and tracker musician, Janne Suni aka Tempest/Damage, makes a 4-channel Amiga track called "Acid Jazzed Evening" for Assembly demoparty's oldskool music competition in 2000 and actually won the category. Then 6 years later, known producer Timbaland, who makes music for several known artists, ripped the track and it appeared on Nelly Furtado's track 'Do It' on her latest album 'Loose'." http://modarchive.org/forums/index.php?topic=488.0
"Dear Timbaland. Did you or did you not..."
Suppose some RIAA studio gets sloppy and swipes a MeaslyArtist's entire 60 song set to remix and sell themselves on some dance box set "presumably with rights". At the size of these judgements, wouldn't that crush them?
I know, they'd stall, etc. But Slashdotter's Gamer's Sense should be going off with that skewed of a ruleset. It's pleading to be broken like some infintite MTG combo.
Thing about buzzes alone is they are low-density signals.
I'm going to take a frame from the recent movies and say "let's then come up with matching tech that augments the blind person! Daredevil Inc."
I think this is a Plato's Cave app. When you 'see' things, you're processing a mental map of light bouncing off objects. Okay, someone can't see in the regular sense. Find some alternate scanning system with the same order of complexity and teach the new mental map. One company experimented with audio texture sweeps. I think there's still chances for direct-neural stim to bypass a weak link in the visual system, etc.
I stuck with Yahoo because for a brief moment they had a couple nice tips to the privacy side. Now with the MeSs I will finally switch. Haven't decided whether Ask or someone else. (Who's Fifth & Sixth in search?)
But occasionally when I absolutely had to Google something,... I typed "Google" into my Yahoo Search default homepage. It says this:
"You could go to Google. Or you could stay here and get straight to your answers."

They would be potential consumers, but the equation they're using is wrong.
As a totally random but scarily easy to apply metric, potential consumer = SqRoot(SqRoot(Pirated Songs)). (Done that way so those cheap $5 calculators can handle it.) Examples:
PowerPirate downloads 40,000 songs... Sqr(Sqr(40000)) = about 14 songs they might have paid for. Now yes, 14 IS greater than zero! But now it becomes clear what the ratio really is.
MinorPirate downloads 50 songs... Sqr(Sqr(50)) means they might have bought 2-3.

So then they retreat by putting their properties menu into the name.
