It would take less time to mail a letter across China than to use a Weibo at this point. I guess the Arab spring really scared them to the point of stupidity.
DRM on 3D printers will not work at all. Since the idea behind 3D printers is to design, modify, and create your own designs. It would be like putting DRM on a home inkjet or laser-jet printer and requiring an external agency to authorize each print job.
Basically, it show most of these crimes are family on family or acquaintances. That the murder rate in the US is going down while the population is going up, and gun violence is at an "all time"? low.
There was a psych study done years ago where people were placed in a closed room, not told why they were there, and not told how long they would be there. After a day they became irrational after two day the experiment was called off. I tried searching for it on Google and couldn't find a link.
The point is the content industry is a closed industry much like that closed room experiment. They have their own language, society, power structure, and 100 years of tradition. It is in no way surprising to see them behaving the way they are. They are circling the wagons and burying their heads in the sand denying that anything is wrong, and that the things going on outside their closed society will not affect them.
Mike is constantly warning unless they begin to change soon their businesses will fail from doing to little to late. With things like the SEC regs on crowd funding due sometime in the near future, funding of movies will be routed away from the big studios to more nimble, less guilded (actors), and non unionized groups. Add to that digital distribution of films to theaters and it is a game changer.
"it's good to see more and more courts recognizing that random insults thrown out in online forums shouldn't be treated the same way as, say, a formal accusation in the press."
My personal opinion is that bloggers are members of the press and should be held to the same standards as the press. Which today is the lowest common denominator, Rachel Maddow comes to mind.
Comments made by people on those blogs are just people expressing opinions.
I listen to music on the car radio, constantly change stations, and once in a while listen running. For the most part music is just noise to me with the current pop stars. I think other people are beginning to see it in the same way.

Re: Seriously?
"Savage cited the gun control law of 1968 and suggested that people on antidepressants be added to the list of those who are prohibited from owning guns. Savage cited the Columbine, Colorado, shooting. One of the shooters, Eric Harris, was on the antidepressant, Luvox."
At least fourteen recent school shootings were committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 109 wounded and 58 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs.
I think I am beginning to see a pattern here.
