You know copyright, one of the few kinds of monopoly you're not only allowed to have but that you claim is a moral right?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/11215823532/supreme-court-says-pharmas-pay-delay-agreements-may-violate-antitrust-law.shtml#c54 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:54:10 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/11215823532/supreme-court-says-pharmas-pay-delay-agreements-may-violate-antitrust-law.shtml#c54
When it comes to Pharma Patents, the whole system inflates costs for Healthcare tremendously, and as a side effect, kills those who cannot afford the outrageous costs.

It's a shame that the first post is more inane drivel from OOTB, followed by good meaning people trying to pacify and pet the fuzzy troll.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130619/01031623524/more-details-emerge-as-states-attorneys-general-seek-to-hold-back-innovation-internet.shtml#c202 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:53:28 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130619/01031623524/more-details-emerge-as-states-attorneys-general-seek-to-hold-back-innovation-internet.shtml#c202 http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130619/01031623524/more-details-emerge-as-states-attorneys-general-seek-to-hold-back-innovation-internet.shtml#c195 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:52:51 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130619/01031623524/more-details-emerge-as-states-attorneys-general-seek-to-hold-back-innovation-internet.shtml#c195 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/11215823532/supreme-court-says-pharmas-pay-delay-agreements-may-violate-antitrust-law.shtml#c41 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:45:35 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/11215823532/supreme-court-says-pharmas-pay-delay-agreements-may-violate-antitrust-law.shtml#c41 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/13581923535/microsoft-capitulates-removes-online-drm-xbox-one.shtml#c882 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:34:20 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/13581923535/microsoft-capitulates-removes-online-drm-xbox-one.shtml#c882
BTW, I feel exactly the opposite about companies like Google and Amazon.

Sony and Microsoft have lost my support but at the moment if i was forced to choose i would choose a ps4, but it is very close now , the reason is that Sony has been a bitch, as i said, to customers just like Microsoft.

If Samsung and Apple get there fingers out of their butts i might just end up buying one of their systems.

Actually the steam system is looking rather good right now, but we will see what drm they want to use first.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/17584023513/new-orleans-cops-set-up-private-company-to-fill-pockets-with-red-light-camera-cash.shtml#c248 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:57:16 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/17584023513/new-orleans-cops-set-up-private-company-to-fill-pockets-with-red-light-camera-cash.shtml#c248
Maybe there is also less tampering in the Netherlands because the country goverment receives the ticket income, but local government decides on the location of the camera. A nice division of power, which should be standard in governmental affairs.]]>
