There are butter keepers, that use a water seal to keep the butter from exposure to air. They will keep butter for a long time without it going rancid. It is a two part device, where the part with the butter goes upside down into the part that holds the water for the seal. You can get them a most high end kitchen supply stores. I think most are from France.
I think that is why he said "DMCA style" rather than DMCA and pointed out the the USTR is pushing others to adopt that style of a law in their country.
Amazon is not offering any deal to the authors. They are telling the authors what deal they are offering to Hachette, to try to help the authors during the period of negotiation, and encourage both Amazon and Hachette to get moving on the negotiation.
Sure Amazon is using disclosing this as a promotion ploy, but they aren't offing anything to the authors. They are just informing the authors.
I find it hard to believe that "The character is just mocking celebrities that get themselves into trouble and generally behave like entitled miscreants." and you didn't think of Lindsay.
What is nice about these cases vs. Prenda is that there is a real company with real assets available for the victims to go after. That is something I bet wasn't in Colette's plan.

Why an exception for "commercial softwares like Photoshop etc."?
I assume that by "commercial software" you mean business software because I'm sure EA considered there games as commercial software. Still, if DRM is bad (and it is) then it is bad on commercial software as well.
There is an update to the original story where the Post Office is now claiming that the quotes attributed to the Post Master General are inaccurate and that the Outbox guys requested the meeting, rather than being summoned.
You realize it wasn't the USPS who was going to be opening and scanning don't you, but a private company. They just wanted the USPS to work with them by diverting delivery to them so they could.
I get my mail through a Private POB and already don't get all the "Occupant" junk mail. Obviously I still get the stuff where someone actually addresses it to my full address.
Everyone knows someone who has had their gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc. account compromised, and received SPAM from them. Why does John think this has anything to do with case. (I know he doesn't, but when you are blowing smoke, you will take the smoke from wherever you can get it.)
