While all the hype is on atm with nuclear energy..
There was a mainstream news feature last night about the Uranium Mining industry.. And how they want to increase production 10 fold and open up to 50 mines in Victoria...
"The case dragged on and in recent weeks dozens of documents were submitted to the court in a noteworthy side-battle. To get to the bottom of how the music industry sets up licensing deals with other Internet companies, LimeWire subpoenaed internal emails from Apple, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, MySpace and others.
Thus far a quarter million pages of emails have been collected, leading LimeWire to draw some interesting conclusions. Among other things, they found that unauthorized downloads actually boosted the revenue of music labels, and that their income took a dive when LimeWire shut down."
While it doesn't prove Mike's opinion on why it was settled.. It does make it look more like it was the publishers themselves that backed out for fear of ruining their own case...
Has anyone considered the seizure of the Spanish domain actually had a second justification?
Is it really a coincidence that ICE would pick a Spanish domain at a time when the government there is trying to re-introduce their controversial copyright legislation...
One has to wonder though at what percentage of the subscribers are business's or paid for with company credit cards.. A lot I expect.. They don't care about the price..

Looks a lot like someone was sending someone a message to me...
Think Teletext
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext
Wouldn't teletext be the original form of electronic program guides?
I don't really know how all this prior-art crap works but teletext goes back to 1973-74 so how the heck does a 1991 (or even 1981) patent trump that!
