Close, but the big difference here is that Coke's lawsuit against Coke Zero is a marketing ploy to convince us, the teeming masses, that the flavor is the same (they are suing for 'taste infringement') unlike AP whom I believe would actually pursue a real lawsuit if the videos remained up on the site in question.
shows that if someone actually stole this game from a store it would incur a fine of, at most, $500. Now I don't know the exact details of this case, but unless she stole 60 copies of this game, I'd say $30,000 is a bit much.
They had this story on Good Morning America today. played clips (the G rated portions) and interviewed the family. They asked the father what was going through his head when he heard his son yelling for more ammo. He replied, "I hoped someone would get him more ammo!" I'm just glad something like this didn't happen to my parents. I doubt my dad would've been that calm.
Why WAS every sentence you USED a simple sentence?
I assume you weren't writing that reply as he was typing and therefore your comment should have been in past tense. Wait, is this grammar correction coming from someone with a MySpace Page??? jk, lolz*
*note intentional satanic MySpace grammar ;-) (OH NO, EMOTICONS!!!!).
Can you imagine just asking someone for their personal info, and they would actually give it to you? Also, I think the word is "our" personal favorite, not "are".
Also, good point about the credit card vs. drivers license.
That's it, from now on I'm not handing my personal info over to those nice men whenever I need to use the walmart bathroom
I think the big issue here is that people can't understand that Google page rank is a matter of opinion. While a website featuring the complete history of the floppy disk may not intrest me in the slightest, it may be of great interest to a floppy disk collector (yes, I realize how unlikely that is). I would give the page a low ranking due to relevance, but the collector would give it a high ranking for the same reason. Bringing in a group of people seperate from Google to evaluate will no doubt result in more of the same. Google has no bias against websites (unless of course it's Yahoo! :-)) and their opinion is just as neutral as any other third party. The real solution is to have some kind of feedback system that informs website owners what steps can be made to increase page rank. This of course is just my opinion. ;-)

Re: There's no "fair use" for software
Really? $30,000 is fair? This link:

Saw this on the news this morning

Actually...
The plural of Jesus is Jesi (pronounced geez-eye). Can't believe the FCC would ever take these seriously.
