  on Google Sued For Using The Term 'Gadgets'; Tiny Company Afraid People Will Think They Support Google
  Yea, and there was a social network around 1994 called firefly.com. I used to like it (i was 14), until I realized they had the username and password in the URLs of the pages. It that is the same firefly, I could understand why they are having a hard time understanding technology.

  This should work for bakeries too

  on Netflix Exec Claims That Delaying Movie Rentals For A Month Benefits Customers
  I'm thinking I could start a good bakery business with this model. I will refrain from selling any pastries or bread while it is fresh, but instead wait for 28 days until it is completely stale. That way there will be less demand for the bread so there will be plenty for the customers to buy immediately, thereby providing a better customer experience.

  The loss in revenue for this . . .

  on Woman Filming Parts Of Sister's Birthday Party At Theater, Charged With Felony Movie Copying
  comes not out of the millions of dollars that the studios will surely lose if those 4 minutes of Twilight are distributed, but that people are going to be too scared of being thrown in jail to go to the theatre for events like birthday parties or anything where someone might want to film their friends and family. I'm certainly not going to be going to the theatres for a while.

  on Zazzle Sued Because Twilight Fans Like Making Their Own Merchandise
  I'm telling ya--go to Cafepress.com and you'll see that user-generated Twilight shirts are a large part of their current business model. I'll bet that this is a large part of this because whether or not it is genuine copyright infringement, that is probably the most threatened aspect of the shirts appearing on Zazzle.

  Cafepress part of this?

  on Zazzle Sued Because Twilight Fans Like Making Their Own Merchandise
  Thats funny--I have never seen Twilight but I figured they "got it" since they openly allow (and even encourage) users in Zazzle's competitor, Cafepress, to make Twilight-themed T-shirts. I wonder if Cafepress is involved somehow.
