Oi! Techdirt writers! Apply this to your blogpost:
s/Europe/United Kingdom and Ireland/g
Europe consists of more than just 2 countries. Like in one of your previous posts about Amazon releasing a streaming store in "Europe" meaning only UK, France and Germany.
So as you know, Europe is much larger, because next to the aforementioned countries it also contains, Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and Vatican City. Plus an assorted number of partially recognized states (Abkhazia, Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh, Northern Cyprus, Transnistria and South Ossetia).
This ad campaign only covers two countries, the United Kingdom and Ireland (as per the source of the article)
I *am* a European, with a sweet tooth, but I cannot participate in this event, because I'm not British, nor Irish.
So, why are you addressing ALL Europeans when you mean to only address the Brits and Irish?
Similarly, he notes that merely broadcasting a TV show wasn't considered "publishing."
So using this logic, anything that's aired but hasn't been offered for sale anywhere yet, isn't covered by copyright, because it's not published yet?
I suddenly feel a lot less guilty over downloading tv shows.
And if someone were to put clips from newscasts on youtube, that someone wouldn't be breaking copyright law either, as those images haven't ever been offered up for sale, nor will they ever be offered for sale.
Assange hasn't been charged with anything.
Not the rape, those are still allegations.
And yet, Britain is doing everything in its power to extradite him to Sweden, something they DIDN'T do to Pinochet, who was a war criminal and he forced women to have sex with dogs!
So, why is Britain so hellbent on getting Assange out of their country when they harbored someone who has done far more despicable acts? (and in a sense Assange is now no longer on British soil)
I give you a clue, it cannot be about the rape allegations. And lets not kid ourselves, rape is a rather harsh term for what he has allegedly done to those women.
And please don't equate the owning of rights to the owning of a physical product.

I have played your free version in the past and liked it a lot, but after a few rom changes on my android phone I kind of forgot about your game. Sorry.
To make up for it, I just bought the elite version.
+1 on the value add ideas that I've seen above. Perhaps spend about 5-10 minutes highlighting some of the posts of the week, and then get some extra bonus material, like interviews, or background information on one of the stories of the week.
Oh and I also often watch live internet tv broadcasting from a small-time podcasting network (jupiterbroadcasting), and I also rarely see lipsync issues, and if they do appear, it's always my video viewer that screws things up, and never in the broadcast itself.
4 years ago, the Olympics were in Beijing, and the Dutch tv was there live, and I never ever saw their audio/video out of sync. Perhaps the US media should invest in some better equipment.

I have to admit that I read Mike's stalker's posts in the voice of Doofenschmirtz. Makes it all the funnier to read.
