A joint would be considered a controlled substance and illegal to posses. I tried asking this in reply to the comments of a AC poster. If they look in your wallet or wherever on your person and find a memory card, sim card or any electronic device that allows storage of information what basis do they have to search it? If there's no proof it was used in a illegal manner? Just go get a search warrant and cover always bases. Why waste the courts time and tax payer money just to have it thrown out.
"Your cell phone is, in effect, the same thing as a pack of cigarettes"
Example 1: I get pulled over and there a pack of cigarettes on the front seat. The officer has suspicion i might under the influence. He open's the pack and see's a a razor and a white powdery substance in a small baggie. He is trained to see the symptoms of someone who might be under the influence and what many illegal substance look and smell like. Also the they have kits to test the substance. So no issues here?
Example 2: Same scenario but there a MicroSd card instead of a razor and white substance. What training do they have to determine what is or isn't on that card and determine if any thing illegal has been committed?
"Take Sony, for example. Under the umbrella of Sony comes Sony Music, Sony Pictures, Sony Television, etc. NBC Universal is similar."
To me they(Sony Music,Pictures,etc.) are all links on the same chain. Break one link and the others take a big hit. So its still monoculture.
"Kind of like saying a dedicated drug dealer should go to jail while one who only deals on the side should not"
"You have the analogy totally wrong. Both drug dealers should go to jail. By your logic you should put the executives at his cell phone provider in jail for allowing him to use the phone to facilitate dealing in drugs. "
Or arrest bank executives/ low bank employees for allowing them to deposit his drug money, etc.. Plug in any other type of business or people they deal with.
Well the chips in video cards has evolved over the last six years how do you patent something it couldn't do? Also where would this fit in with DirectX that which suppose to make things easier for you to use the gpu?
What I want to know is how much time and money was wasted on this patent and the A-hole who came with ideal is getting a rise or bonus for this stupidity.
The funny part about your post is that steam effectively allowing you to play pirated games! Look up to situation with the game Hitman. The original DRM on the games was a pain, so instead of just giving Steam game sans DRM they gave them the game with DRM and the crack that disables the DRM

I heard for the Wii you need a disc to load up the necessary software(Wii channel + playback software) so you can start streaming. That also be for the PS3 but don't know. The Xbox 360 needs no disc but you have to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.
Wish they filed Chapter 7 and just go away. I guess jumping into bed with the movie studios and paying them with some of your profits worked out well for them! My one question is will they still carry on with paying the studios extra money to bypass the 28 day window?
I almost spit out my drink when i read the article, i had to ask the bartender if she was slipping 151 with my coke. I was under the impression that the major networks owned a piece of Hulu? So he is bitching that networks/studios that fronted him money to make his shows might make money off an IPO.
