This might have been mentioned, but wasn't there a story a while back about a guy smuggling guns to the UK in checked baggage?
Last time I went thru LAX they were piss poor all round, with more people standing around with vacant looks in there eyes and one poor bastard checking everyone's passport with people queuing back for 90 minutes.
That'll serve me right for flying on a tuesday morning when its quiet.
I have to agree with the actress, if the facts of the case are as you state. In the UK I'd imagine it would fall under the DPA and a company you give data to can't give it to anyone else without your say so, outside of their own T&C.
I see how it looks petty in the extreme, but if you gave info to someone about yourself in assumed secrecy then found it on a popular website you might feel a little... invaded. I think its a valid and potentially important point.
I'd imagine even if they did take it from her sign up details tho, they'll just lie and say they got it from Wiki.
I love the idea of this, but can only see it making money in terms of licencing very successful songs for commercial things (films ads etc) and to gain a following for artists so they get more tickets sold for gigs. I can't see the online part of this making any money at all, even if they carry merchandising.
If the artists are on short term deals, what happens after they do well for one song here, then move over to EMI, for example. Will the site make any money off them at all then?
It is however a wonderful concept and I hope it makes the artists on it a nice living wage which their work entitles them too. If I thought any decent music had been made in the last 10 years I'd be sure to check it out.
As for the single vs album debate - I have to say I like albums. They are a work of art in themselves, tracklisting alone is an under valued art. But such is the way of things.
I'm not sure your conclusion is right, I saw it as you still need the rights to broadcast the game, but once you have that, in the EU you can sell your version to anyone.
However your take sounds much nicer, and was an angle I hadn't thought of before. All this means tho is that the TV selling rules will alter at the next deal and we'll see every player branded with a sky logo in the middle of their foreheads.
I hope that the subscriptions will become cheaper and the players paid less. But then again I hope Btafink gets a live action movie. So y'know....
This could well result in spotify shooting themselves in the foot, if people can't figure out how to stop the sharing (or if they decide to share) they may very well stop listening to all those songs which are guilty pleasures, soon lots of people will just listen to things they think their friends might like.
My loathing for Inyourfacebook grows weekly at the moment, with most people I know using that rather than emailing, I'm forced to belong to it even tho everything in my entire being screams "run away" everytime I log in. I don't WANT my entire existence out there even if other people are largely ignoring it. I don't want my friends and relations knowing every last thing I've done this week.
Whatever happened to private space along side keeping in touch with people?
Don't the major labels actually now own the notes all these other musicians are using in all their tracks?
Note infringing bastards shouldn't be allowed to use all those notes and sell their stuff straight to horrible consumers who aren't giving any money to major labels.
Even with double counting their figure's still kinda high when worked out to per person/per household.
Would be interesting to do a survey on the over 30s to see how much they used to pirate on C60s and VHS and how comparable it is. Were they any such surveys done at the time?

Streakers who use their bodies to advertise during the Olympics could face a ?20,000 [$32,000] fine under new rules.
- but if the streakers female and half decent looking, the Sun will surely give her more than that to show herself in their paper the next day.

Its an odd one, that's for sure.
It kind of makes you wonder if they have any idea how badly they're trampling on their own reputation with these lawsuits.
For $13m I'd tell everyone I slept with pigs and ate raw sewage on toast.

I'm assuming any computer anywhere outwitting my mother doesn't count?

I'm copyrighting being nice to people.
From now on the rest of the world have to be complete bastards to each other.
Oh. Looks like I didn't need a copyright for that to happen.

I'm not sure anything Dylan does would be a worse crime than rhyming Help with Kelp.
Most of my FB utterances are just about how much I hate FB. They're welcome to them
"It appears that may be happening on a large scale in Asia (and China in particular)"
Also apparent:
Bears in wood defecating
Once we stood on the shoulders of giants,
Now we roll around in the filthy like dirty, dirty midgets.
Domain names must have relevance to site content? That's just petty.
Only the pictures of busty pretty ladies are looked at tho.
Same as it ever was.

You're mean. Of all monkeys, the virtual monkey needs the most love.
