  Lilly, how do you think Joe Strummer would react to your anti-fan/pro-recording industry behavior?

  Re:

  BTW, I love how she cherry picks the easily debate-able answers when she chooses to reply to a post.
  
  I count about a dozen well made pints on that Blogs comment section which she remains curiously silent on.

  I'm the one that mailed her that 50cent piece along with one other article of Mike's.
  
  What a twat.

  I have the solution: Coffee cups.
  
  Flash memory is cheap now. take a small flash media chip, stick it to a coffee cup in a way similar to McDomalds "Monopoly" game. You get your cup of coffee and that days news programmed into the chip at the register to read on your laptop, Iphone, etc.....
  
  eh? EH??
  
  OK, maybe not. Give me time, I'll think of something to save the newspaper industry.....

  Looks like Lilly doesn't like dissenting opinion. She has shut off any ability to comment.
  
  I hope she rides the sinking ship to the bottom with the rest of the recording industry.

  Re:

  Isn't it in the UK that lawsuits such as these requires the losing side to pay the others legal fees?
  
  That sounds pretty effective.

  Here's another trivia question:

  Re: Re: Nothing stupid about it; it's basic contract law

  what business is it of the guy to know what they made in ad revenue? Fox licensed the vid on a flat rate/time basis.
  
  Talk about greedy. I'd be ecstatic to be paid five figures for a couple of minutes of video footage.
