  on Microsoft Sued Because It Overloaded Surface Tablet With Pre-Installed Apps
  We're not even talking crapware here. These are apps that a tablet user would expect. Email, maps, music, weather apps etc.

  on Microsoft Sued Because It Overloaded Surface Tablet With Pre-Installed Apps
  Microsoft is getting sued for adding value to its tablet. They truly cannot win. Does he know that unlike IOS, pre-installed apps can be uninstalled?

  on Music Is Collaborative: Jay-Z To Sugar Hill Gang To Al Jolson And Back Again
  I'm stoked that Mike featured my video here. Thanks a mil! I'm an avid reader although I don't comment much. I've learned a lot here. Reading this blog led me to James Boyle's book "The Public Domain." which inspired this.(You're absolutely right Mike, Chapter 6)
  
  @eldavojohn, Point taken re: the editing. It's easy to get carried away with Sony Vegas' transition effects. The interview with Nile Rodgers was worth noting, as Mike correctly pointed out, he described his music as sacred when talking about how Rappers Delight sampled it without permission. Later he admits that he took lyrics almost verbatim from Milton Adger's song.
  
  @Huph, I actually like Good Times better. (: Rapper's Delight also took lyrics from a widely known rapper (at the time) Grandmaster Caz. Copyright failed him in this instance.
  
  @ltlw0lf, Thanks. I'm going to up my video editing skills for the next one.
  
  Thanks again Mike!

  on Music Publisher Discovers A Song In Its Catalog Has Been Heavily Sampled For Decades... Sues Everyone
  I first heard it from Stetsasonic. It may have been cleared but somehow I doubt it. Too bad because they made something new from it.

  If they identified where the links were going to then why didn't they take action against the websites actually hosting the content?

  on Inspiration Comes In Many Forms: Did Usher Copy Homer Simpson?
  First Usher copied the poor goat... (Usher blatant copy) Homer's people can stand up for him but the goat got a raw deal.
