This. I wish I could see an image of the logo he used. Twitter could simply have told him they were giving the handle to the resort under the terms of their agreement. Instead they accused him of impersonation. Someone who is accused of impersonating someone else ought at least to be given the opportunity to dispute the accusation.
You can scroll through the comments and see a couple different variations where people have put all thirty years in one graph. My favorite is almost at the end of the thread, where you can see CD sales as an enormous blue bubble holding the industry aloft for *years* while consumers convert their LP collections to CDs as the labels slowly bring out their back catalogues on CD in shitty masters, and then finally in decent remasterings that consumers buy yet again.
But the infrastructure they relied on in the nineties is gone. Goody is gone. Tower is gone. Border's is gone. Most of the local music shops I haunted in the nineties are gone. You could go into any one of those stores and preview a CD before taking it home. Why would anyone but a devoted fan buy a CD's worth of music they haven't heard yet?
Could the MAFIAA replace iTunes or Amazon? Honestly that ship sailed twenty years ago. I think it's been sufficiently demonstrated that the recording industry has zero interest in competing with iTunes or Amazon.
So where would a consumer go to buy their bland, regurgitated product? I say pull the plug and let them die with dignity.
This article is written entirely from the wrong angle, and so is every comment I've seen in the thread. The attached document makes abundantly clear that the concern is effectively dealing with sexual assault. A cursory web search reveals that sexual assault is a serious problem at this school. Neither the DoJ nor the DoE is trying to curtail students' rights of free speech. It is not particularly surprising that most commenters have not troubled to read the document, but it is disappointing and discouraging that Tim seems not to have read it.

Archaic diction? Seriously? I had no trouble grasping his meaning, nor that I disagree with it entirely. I didn't have to go running for a circa-1920 glossary.
Re: Someone doesn't understand the mechanics of an MMO
the more players you have, the more value your game has for your players.
So very much this. As a trivial example, most of the members of the kinship I was in were free players. I was a subscriber and I also made more than a few micropayments for convenience. The presence of the free players meant more opportunities for all of us to run instances and raids, more crafters to help out kinnies with gear, more people bringing new members into the kinship, more people to have fun with on the kin chat. Win-win-win.
