  Or... (as Scott Crawford)

  on Prostitutes Have Just Moved From Craigslist To Facebook
  ...we could just legalize, regulate and tax prostitution like sensible people would, but in the long run, that would give women way too much control over what they do with their bodies, so that'd never fly.

  Funny... (as Scott Crawford)

  on Cher Lawsuit Highlights How Record Labels Screw Over Artists
  I remember Sonny and Mary Bono extending copyright laws like a kazillion years, don't you? Kinda ironic that they're probably getting screwed by the same laws that they screwed over EVERYONE with.

  And after watching it... (as Scott Crawford)

  on Sita Sings the Blues... Available For Free Download
  ...I think it's an absolute travesty that the rightsholders gave Nina the hard time that they did. The movie is downright stunning, an instant classic, and the attention it will bring to the music she uses in it will really be staggering once it gains some more steam in the mainstream media (and it will).
  
  Thanks, Techdirt folks, for letting us know that "Sita" came out (I read the last story you did on it), as I feel like this story kinda got lost this week in all the "Watchmen" hype (another movie where rights issues caused a big ol' mess before release). And to the rest of you, head over to the "Sita" site and see this great film.
