Q. What authority does the Business Software Alliance have to conduct audits and levy fines?
A. The BSA has no independent law enforcement authority of any kind. Its rights are derived from a power of attorney provided by its member software companies. Those companies have rights created by their software license agreements and under the laws protecting copyrights.
Oh and I forgot, if you don't have the ability to prove ownership of those boxes of cookies with the proper license then you have to pay a fine for each individual cookie in every box.
Actually it's the Girl Scouts that sell the cookies. They Boy Scouts just show up afterward and ask if you have a license for those boxes of cookies.
Well depending on whether the Mayan's were right, it could very well be a "fun" year.
The station was violating the Eagles trademarks by putting their logo's, helmets, pictures of players etc on a bunch of promotional items for the radio station.
If by "promotional items" you mean tickets then yea. Otherwise what the hell are you talking about. I read the first several pages of the complaint via link provided and the only thing they mention is using the tickets to the game for promotional use.
Just because Station A and the Loogies have an agreement does not mean they [Loogies] have a legal right to stop other stations from doing giveaways.
That's what I was thinking too. Why doesn't this "Radio Station" or in Doug's case the "TV Station" just call out the team for what it's doing. I'm sure a whole bunch of bad press will take care of the issue right quick.
Both in engaging in the debate AND pulling the plug. The latter could prove to be her biggest statement yet.
If by biggest statement yet you mean that she knew her argument was garbage and that she let herself turn into a mouthpiece for EMI/Major Record labels, then yea, it was her biggest statement yet.
Hell they probably think FOX News is a reputable source as well.
Or for that matter CNN or MSNBC! What a bunch of fools.
Where do you live that your local team's cheapest ticket is $115/ticket? I thought my local Bears were bad at $55-$60 per ticket for the cheapest ones.
From here on out any sperm banks in Sweden are now sperm bancs.

What is Mini Nova publishing and by definition, is it illegal?
Silly wabbit, didn't you realize that they publish .torrent files and that those are illegal?
I think the sarcasm meter just blew up
You could have just said he obviously is a complete moron, but I like your version better.
Something is seriously off here in America.
Apparently it's not just America as in this case, The Pirate Bay case and to the point the majority of stories like this, they're all other countries.
TPB top 100 files on any given day are 99.9999999999% all the time stolen / pirated / infringing material.
It's a pretty good sampling of what the public is actively downloading at any given time.
So when "99.9999999999%" of the people who share data over the internet are "infringing" on a copyright, what needs to change? The people or the law?
Welcome to the zombie apocalypse of the 21st century.
Where did Rosemary Port get the idea that Cohen was a skank I wonder? Last I checked it's not defamation if its true... I think... bah who cares.
