But from the sounds of it, it's not a 'free' book. It's either promotional, or part of a specific subscription. Either way, that's not 'free'. In which case to be consistent with themselves they'd better stop giving away trashy novels for 'free' on magazine covers or with newspapers.
However, the name 'Wendy' was invented by J.M Barrie for "Peter Pan" - so shouldn't his heirs own that name until Kingdom Come (or infinity minus a day, whichever is first)?
So maximum amount per track... each track could have been heard by X people per actual unit produced... in fact, could potentially have been heard by the whole population of the planet, plus of course Little Green Men since we're beaming radio into space...
Gene Wolff uses the term "fuliginous" to describe an ulimately black colour, presumably where you'd be competing with a black hole for radiating light...
Is that like how you ACs all accuse people who dissent with you (especially who are ACs themselves) of being 'paid employees/astroturfers' of 'the Maz/nick/burglar/FUDMeister'?

America no longer even has the capacity to send humans into space and get them back safely. Enjoy having to go to Russia for that... remind me, who 'won' the space race?
I think that's awfully naive, they'll just have an orgy of "I told you so!"s and then proceed to bring it up *even more* unnecessarily at every and any opportunity. Besides, why should Mike lie for the (sexual) benefit of shilltards? Besides, fapping themselves to death would involve a huge amount of mess in here, which we could really do without!
Let us know how that goes compared to say, the 'War on Drugs' or the 'War on Terror'.
In the UK, we had our own 'War on Terror'. In the end, the government wised up, recognised the Republican Irish opposition (conditionally) and engaged them legally. Now, a (possible) ex-terrorist (spokesman) can not only be Northern Ireland's Vice First Minister (or whatever), he can run for Republic of Ireland's presidency.
Now, if only the MAFIAA could learn the power of engagement, instead of wheeling out ever-bigger and more inaccurate 'guns'...
Essentially, taking a picture of the Mona Lisa wouldn't grant you copyright. If you made some interesting (and original) composition involving people or objects framing it, you could copyright that photo, but you couldn't claim copyright over other people taking pictures of the Mona Lisa.
Similarly, 'original' here means out of the ordinary, so just because you took a picture of three people themselves photographing the Mona Lisa (which is always happening) wouldn't grant you copyright on that 'expression'. Three clowns however...
If you are selling 'concessions' then yo are in competition with McDonald's, Burger King, etc. If they are trying to compete with them, then they need a much better experience since most cinema food sucks even more than other fast food - the only difference being that you can get hot dogs and popcorn.
As a consumer, I'm sorry. I don't see why I should pay through the nose for concessions unless they are either *really* good quality, or there is something else about the experience that is worth the ridiculous prices charged. I'd far rather spend $2 on a can of Coke and a small bag of Butterkist that I bring in with me. That's my choice as a consumer (albeit one who can't afford to go to the cinema very often anymore, but used to go a lot). If I get forced to buy overpriced concessions, I'll just not go at all.
If their model sucks, they need to push back at the film companies instead of doing the usual 'bleed the consumer' - or they will find that the consumer will vote with their wallets - and time - and just not come.
