• On the post: ACLU Allowed Into Lawsuit Over North Carolina's Demands To Hand Over Amazon Purchase History

  A gift

  Hypothetical: I live in, say Kentucky, and I order a book on Amazon.com and have it shipped to my cousin in NC as a gift.
  
  Just because an item was shipped to a NC address doesn't mean it was purchased in NC. In fact, if I did buy from Amazon (not one of the many, many sellers using their services) wouldn't I technically only need to pay tax to the state in which Amazon's business is established.

• On the post: Will The NAB Agree To A Performance Rights Tax In Exchange For Having RIAA Support Mandatory FM Radio In Mobile Phones?

  

  Chuck Norris' Enemy (deceased) ( profile ), 17 Aug, 2010 @ 07:08am

  I remember back when I had a cassette/FM radio Walkman that when the battery power was too weak to play the cassette I could always default over to an FM station for five or six hours more of music (and commercials). Now my cars have CD players, mp3 player inputs, and AM/FM radio. Never listen to the radio. If you add this to these devices they will be essentially ignored by the users as Mike does. Sorry NAB, you will have to get the government to mandate listening to your transmissions to make this work.

  It is hard to see why anyone would pay for such lackluster web page design, especially an elected official.

  Shhh! Don't let them know.

  I just went to the library and borrowed the Chronological Donald: Volumes 1 through 4 for free! As far as I can tell, lots of other people in town are doing this, too. Better shut down the library, evil sharers of copyrighted works.

  What the AP asks of us

  Now, did the AP demand payment from others for using their 'copied' story from the Woot press release? Do they claim copyright on their article?

  Commute

  Commuting will be so cool...you can look down on the drivers on the clogged freeways in contempt. Hopefully you wont ding their roofs, though.

  Re:

  WHAT!? Mike is a hypocrite?! TAM, you finally convinced myself and the rest of the people reading this blog that we have been lied to, cheated of eyeballs, and told lies about the content industry, patents, and copyrights. We are all leaving now, never to return. Feel no need to monitor Mike's blog anymore since you won't need to protect us from blindly following him into the abyss. We are deeply indebted to you for you diligence.
  
  Footsteps...getting fainter...fainter still...door shuts...silence... ...
  
  Hey everybody...is TAM gone yet?

  Ummm....

  How do we send a bunch of letters to "John Doe"s without identifying them? Surely, USCG gets the mailing list followed by the typical shakedown letter.

  Re: You don't own your data

  Just because they have a ToS doesn't make it legally enforceable. Think about the battle in court that will need to be done if there was a squirmish over a picture you store on Facebook and sell to somebody else to use. You own the copyright on the photo, Facebook can't take that from you just because their ToS says they can.

  Search is safe

  So all the beta search does is encrypt your search term and the results listing. Sure you could see thumbnail images of porn or what not but once you click a link...it is no longer secured unless the site is secure. Google SSL Search : Features

  The lesson here is that you should have eaten your twin while you were in the womb.

  Re: Re: Ok

  By the time you are in court they will have taken a DNA sample from you. At least, I would have provided mine to prove my innocence.
