Well, before religious types hijacked the word to mean One Thing, it meant to adhere, firmly, devotedly and loyally without question. So it's an appropriate word, but now since Faith is so strongly used to defend religion, it means squat.
Stealing OTA TV like stealing a free weekly paper, and giving it to a friend. Isn't TV based on paid advertising, and isn't it in the best interest of advertisers to have their ads seen by as many people as possible? Maybe the advertisers should get involved, and say, "Hey, we want those potential customers."
...and it happened to be Google Reader. I can tell you this, for sure, I will less likely be reading any blogs when Google Reader shuts down. It just may need to be the productivity kickstart I need. But scrolling through blogs via Google Reader changed everything. I seriously doubt I will visit all 220+ websites that I used to read via RSS feeds manually, and I'm sure as hell not going to go looking for a new reader. If anyone should raise hell, it should be the blogs.

“We’re chopping off the head of LulzSec.”?? and therefore "leaders" of Anonymous? What a joke. Lulzsec has been pretty silent, i.e. haven't brought'en me LULZ for a while and now we know why. LEO, and their authoritarian bosses, really don't understand what is going on, much less what it is about. By arresting these "leaders" they think they're making progress. The hydra analogy really fits, because these "heads" are really just MOUTHS, the really scary shit you will never hear about, until someone digs it up and shares it to the world, e.g. Stratfor/Wikileaks.
Do they, or don't they want us to watch their shows?
Why can't they replicate the content online as they do over cable? And pass the costs over to the advertisers... you know, the whole point of advertising in general.
NYT, and others, keep forgetting that viewers are a good thing, and the more viewers (hits and clicks) the more valuable advertising space is. That business model has not changed.
It's true. Microsoft and Apple know this, that's why they push X-Boxes and iTunes so hard. No one wants physical media anymore, except for the hold-outs, but they're still spinning vinyl and rolling in Super-8, they stopped factoring them in 1995.
Is it possible, given your higher-than-usual-profile-especially-regarding-the-media-industry-business-model-criticisms, that there were industry shrills planted to disrupt you when you speak?
Isn't "selling music" more than just a copy of the CD, or a concert ticket? I think it's great and important that an artist can "make a living" from their art, and I will always find it bothersome when an organization who's whole purpose is to "make a buck" is the one "defending" the old business models.

1. Yes, absolutely what they're doing.
2. No, I did not shoot Kennedy.

Took me forever to find an RSS feed reader I liked...

Don't they have advertising? It's not enough?
Do they, or don't they want us to watch their shows?
Why can't they replicate the content online as they do over cable? And pass the costs over to the advertisers... you know, the whole point of advertising in general.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Nothing acttually costs anything, so...
Actually, you bring up an interesting subject. In lots of cases it's not the actual artists that sue for infringement, but the estates.

The "detective" is the pirate, not the printer!
So if I get caught selling drugs to a cop, can say I was "testing" them?

The industry will hang on to their outdated income streams for as long as they can.
And as long as the industry has insiders as government officials, this will be for a while longer.

Um, isn't OTA TV and Radio based on this model?
