First two comments uttered by people who identify with their cars instead.
The manufacturers will be sued and they won't want to recycle their brands as readily.
More succinctly, "monetize" means make money for the AAholes first and anyone else second, if at all.
All the technical talk about encoding is interesting, but the real question is, how does Young's proposal address piracy? It's easy enough to encrypt the data between the cloud and the player software, but how does he prevent the sounds from being captured between the player and the audio driver? If his player software intends to supersede my operating system then No thank you please!
Should sex offenders be forced to abandon their Second Life properties without the chance to sell them?
If a sex offender has to move in real life due to a law change does he have to go right that second and forfeit all his furniture and belongings?
I would imagine that the adult industry will start incorporating anti-piracy messages directly in its productions, similar to product placement. Imagine the dialog!
The Wikipedia article has some very interesting information I would never have guessed.
See what happens when you give someone a limited monopoly? Before too long they feel entitled to so much more.
Now you've just given them all this monopoly money to play with. So the next thing they do is use it to remove the limitations on the monopoly. How is that not piracy?
Okay, Mr. Kristoff, have it your way. And while we're at it, let's hold NY Times responsible for their share of the Iraq War deaths caused by Judith Miller.

What I'm concerned about is they want to bundle things on the Web too.
What's bizarre is that this commercial holds up LV as the epitome of luxury and yet LV is complaining. Would someone please use national television to make my company's logo as synonymous with quality engineering? Please, anyone! Go right ahead! I won't sue you, I promise!
Okay, but then if piracy is still occurring at the same rate, we need to amend our point about revenue still dropping, right?
Maybe they let him have internet because they want him to report in using a smartphone? Taking it away from him takes away their ability to communicate with him on it. They don't want to be receiving faxes of Polaroids of him leaving the studio.
"Well, a lot of those same kids are now sitting in those chairs and we all can see just how much different things are, they're actually worse, more greedy, more restrictive, more power hungry than those before them."
A question I would like to ask Ron Kirk: "When you got into local politics in Dallas in the 70's, was it your goal even then to become a complete sell-out?"
Thanks dude! Very kind of you. I accept your kudos in lieu of the actual "award."
Hey if it could be on The Tonight Show how bad can it be in blog comments?
I just flew in from Vegas and boy are my arms tired -- from being squished next to Kevin Smith!

Try the sirloin folks, I hear it's amazing.
