  Outbox - Find out what happened

  on How The US Post Office Killed Innovative Digital Mail Because It Disrupted Junk Mailers
  I don't know if this will work, but I'm going to send a FOIA request to the USPS on any documents concerning Outbox. If enough of us do that maybe we could get some answers. Anyone like this idea? Also, does Outbox have a corporate address still?

  Why Was This a Jury Trial?

  on Insanity Rules In East Texas: Jury Finds Newegg Infringes On Ridiculous Encryption Patent
  Since the defendant gets to choose whether it is a trial before a jury or a judge, why didn't NewEgg choose a trial before a judge? Or do patent infringement trials have to go to juries?

  Support Newegg (as Craig)

  on Insanity Rules In East Texas: Jury Finds Newegg Infringes On Ridiculous Encryption Patent
  On Black Friday I'm going to buy something at Newegg to support them in fighting the trolls. If they have a box to pay extra just to support the fight, I'd give an extra $20.

  Re: Re: DRM Removal

  on Undownloading: Further Proof Those eBooks You Paid For Really Aren't Yours
  The problem is most people don't realize that DRM is an issue until it is too late. They find out the minute before that critical presentation or are in a deathmatch playing online and they get kicked off. We are the cliche frogs in the pot of water that is starting to boil.

  Amazon Won't Textbook Rental Restrictions

  on Undownloading: Further Proof Those eBooks You Paid For Really Aren't Yours
  Now Amazon says you have violated the terms of service if you take your rented textbook across state lines and they will bill you the full amount of the book if they find out.

  Location Limitations on Access to Media

  on Undownloading: Further Proof Those eBooks You Paid For Really Aren't Yours
  I'm trying to compile a list of media and the companies that provide it and the location limitations they put on it. Such as not being to access Netflix out of the country or as above not being able to get your ebooks in Singapore. Anyone know if such a list exists?

  Kathy Wolfe - Followup

  on Dear Hollywood: Giving Identical Scripts To Congress Reveals That You're Feeding Them Talking Points
  Is there any new information from Kathy Wolfe and Wolfe Video's claims about how much they are spending fighting "infringement". I wish there was some more open dialog with the small production companies about these issues and how they can more effectively build their business models.

  Any new Information - Dialogue

  on Indie Film Distributor Spends Half Her Profits Sending DMCA Takedowns, But Is It Worth It?
  Did she ever get back to the author on this with more information? I think if she got into a dialogue with the community she could be helped to find a better alternative than paying so much to take down infringing content.
