  Too a degree I can respect what they're doing

  on HarperCollins Wants To Limit Library Ebook Lending To 'Protect' Authors From Libraries
  Libraries do this to an extent. When books start to physically fail (i.e. pages missing, covers torn, etc), librarians will order a new book to replace the damaged one. This is what HarperCollins appears to be doing. I can respect that. But why 26? Seems like an arbitrary number to me.

  on Movie Studios Purposely Crippling Rental DVDs In Misguided Effort To Get People To Buy
  Mike, I typically agree with your posts. You're usually spot on. But in this case I don't know if we have all of the facts. I would suspect that when people rent a DVD it's because they want to watch a movie and not the entire theatrical experience.
  
  That being said, I think it's pretty crummy to show the bonus feature menu items and then block them from playing.
  
  They'll soon realize that digital distribution is here to stay.

  What the...

  on While TSA Looks At You Naked, Child Finds Loaded Gun Magazine Left On Southwest Plane
  I saw an article about some military guys that were allowed to carry their weapons on to the plane. But not their ammo. (http://www.redstate.com/erick/2010/11/18/another-tsa-outrage/) How did the law enforcement personal get to carry his ammo if the people who defend our country cannot? I'm at a loss.

  on Court Blocks Furniture Seller From Sending More DMCA Takedowns To eBay Over Competitor's Furniture
  It's about time someone started to notice. I almost tend to think of this as bullying. The bigger guy tries to take down the smaller one because the smaller guy is becoming more successful. Whatever happened to competition?
