Re:
I get your gruff here but consider text messaging. How terrible was it to type a text on your old phone with the number pad? Yet people were eating it up...which drove demand for phones with full keyboards to make texting easier (yet still pretty 'uncomfortable'). Consumers liked the usefulness of texting from their phone and dealt with the difficulty. Innovators made it easier and easier to text from a phone. I would guess more people spend time texting on their phones than talking these days. Tablets will advance, too. Many of the comments about never being able to create content or have the full computing experience are ignoring the technological leaps we have made in the last 15 years. We will get there.

Yes, that is how I understand Federal Tax rules (I had to fill it out this year for my wife's side business she started, think she ended up with $3 profit after expenses). It may be different for the state of MN but usually the state rules are similar to Fed tax rules for the most part. Of course, all the comments from the auditor are unnecessary but if the criteria aren't met then the couple should be dealt the punishment due.
Ah, everyone's rights...isn't everything somebody's right nowadays? If you have to depend on the government to afford you your rights then you have no rights at all.
What? What does Grooveshark "sell" on their premises or website? Or any file locker? They sell data storage. Just because somebody puts infringing works into storage doesn't make the provider liable. The analogy works in meat space, too. A mini-storage locker is what is sold...the space inside. The owner has no idea what goes in. But you want to make him liable for what goes in there? Take that to Walmart. They sell a bunch of goods. Say they sell Toshiba laptops that turn out to have exploding batteries. Is Walmart all the sudden responsible? Someone bought a gun and bullets then went and murdered a cop...Walmart needs to be brought to justice! How stupid is that.
Not that it is much of a saving grace but I thought I saw a headline that the re-run of Big Bang Theory beat out American Idol in the ratings last week.
Yes, you mail an extra 49 checks a year, but any reasonably large e-tailer is already mailing out hundreds of checks a month, so I don't get how this is some huge burden.
Actually not so simple. You can't just mail a check to the tax authority...they would have no idea what it is for. To collect sales tax for a state you will have to register to the tax authority for a tax ID number and most likely apply/register your business in that state. Multiply that across 50 states with 50 different sets of tax rules and registration requirements...doesn't sound so easy anymore.
I have never seen a reporting agency ever jump the gun and report on something before all the facts were in. /sarc
