Has anyone every heard the phrase 'too many cooks in the kitchen'?!?
Everyone seems to be under the assumption that each doctor in the crowd will somewhat agree - what happens when there are fundamental differences of opinion (i.e. tradition doctors vs. holistic physicians).
"Change" was the Democrats main MO in their campaign. They've failed miserably - I consider myself and Independent, but will most definitely be voting AGAINST Dems in any coming election. They get the power, and they don't know what to do with it, typical.
Full disclosure: I'm from Mass, and voted for Brown. WAKE UP DEMS! You're losing...fast.
"Why? Because the labels are not stupid. They realize that the internet is going to be the way go for a lot of their business and they are aggressively pursuing that line of business."
This is a great post Mike. I always come back later in the day for the chance of a possible "Update" to the story, but the RIAA never seems to respond to these questions/notions.
Any idea why the refuse to take part in a good old fashion dialectic?
"Here's an idea: rather than wasting money suing each other over these sorts of claims, why not invest some money into actually improving the network?"
I completely agree with the argument that these businesses need to shut up and just improve the quality of their service, but I don't think that will ever negate the need for pure marketing.
While the techies and folks who do the real work, are out working - the suits behind desks in the Sales Dept. just think up new schemes to sell their product, regardless of whether it's true or not.
As the old saying goes, why let facts get in the way of a good story.
To put it simply, if Verizon and AT&T's network were near identical in performance and scope - I can pretty much guarantee there would still be a war of the words over whose is better.
To say that IP laws are akin to slavery and racial discrimination is absolutely ridiculous - and shows that you are 100% white.
This is outright one of the most insensitive posts I've ever read, and is completely off base. I find it very hard to believe you couldn't find any other correlation and clearly shows you have only a high level understanding of the topic at hand.
Your position is very Reductio ad Hitlerum, and therefore is a fallacy.
You are first claiming Stephen's second statement has no bearing on the first, and is actually quite irrelevant (which I agree with), yet this is the point you are tearing down with regards to the sensationalist article heading?
Didn't you just say this statement was irrelevant? if so, why is it the basis of your entire argument.
More clearly, wouldn't it be better to tear down an actual argument, rather than an irrelevant secondary comment?
I've read his statement about 25 times, and still do not see the correlation you are attempting to draw. Yes he is incorrect about NN, yes he has a misunderstanding of what AT&T and Apple did to upgrade the network, but is actually claiming what you say he is? Hard to say in that snippet.
"But this wasn't an academic paper. It was a literary book, a work of art, where cutting & pasting was part of the point.
How did you miss that?"
The context in which the plagiarism was performed doesn't negate the fact that it was (still) plagiarism.
Remixing song adds additional musical layers over the original work - often to the point where it's almost subliminal. Reworking someone's painting adds additional aesthetic compliments - often to the point where it's almost subliminal or unnoticeable.
There's nothing mysterious (or artistic) about cutting & pasting.
She wasn't honest about "stitching" (read: stealing) pieces of books together. She only admitted it once she was called out. Read the article. Get the facts. Make a better judgment.
"Duane alerts us to the story of a 17-year-old German woman whose critically acclaimed book has been found to have large chunks plagiarized from other sources."

This girl needs to learn to paraphrase.
Let me write a 40 page Econ paper and lift 15 pages from another author and call it "collaborative writing" with a shit eating grin.
I also find that statement hard to defend. Regardless of industry profits as of late, online movie sharing is still rampant - maybe not in the US as much - but Japan, Eastern Europe.
"For me, it sounds like Viacom didn't want to pay a license for musical performance, so they nixed it"
So, let me get this straight. If you just say the title of a song, it counts as a musical performance. In that case, every post above you owes royalties to the parent record company, and each comment should be taken down via DMCA-style.
Yah buddy, you nailed it alright.
