20th Century Fox Advertising On Grokster While Suing It
from the that-seems-relevant dept
In yet another case where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, it appears that 20th Century Fox, while being involved in the Supreme Court case against Grokster, is also advertising new movies via Grokster adware. It certainly suggests there are some at the company that think Grokster represents a legitimate way to reach consumers -- something the industry keeps insisting is impossible.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Speculation is running wild on what caused the girl to fall out in the first place. Horseplay? Bullying? Someone open the emergency door? Can drivers be charged for hitting people who suddenly come falling from the sky?

Looks like she puked against the inside of the window first and wiped it. Witnesses say she was still alive after falling on the pavement and got up, but was repeatedly run over, crushing her head and limbs.
