  The best part was part of the justification the judge used for his ruling. A quote from USAToday stated "I think that people have in mind that this was some violent, forcible, horrible rape," Baugh said. "It was horrible enough as it is just given her age, but it wasn't this forcible beat-up rape." Sound familiar? Like all the idiots in the 2012 election cycle, rape is only bad if it's that really nasty, violent rape. Otherwise, you know, it's understandable. The victims were really asking for it anyway. Unbelievable.

  Girl talk

  Not to get off topic, but the nut had a follow story where Gillis talks about how he has distributed his music. It sounds like the model that has been discussed here so often. Gillis sold his first 2 CDs traditionally, charging 10 bucks a pop. Then he tried a pay what you want model. Then he went to a totally free model with no option to pay at all. The writer of the article seemed amazed that Gillis could make money. Of course Gillis replied that he made money from touring and merchandise sales! Too bad the author totally glossed over this model of doing business.

  I thought they left the door open for putting in tiered payment system for wireless networks, where some traffic would get higher priority, and you would have to pay more to get this higher priority traffic.

  Re: Blog Post

  Spoken like a true WB shill. How much are you getting paid to post? After all, getting paid to lie for a company is fine isn't it?

• On the post: Australian Newspaper Says The Only Way To Get Its iPad App Is To Subscribe To The Paper Version

  Aren't all these papers trying to add value to their paper subscribers. I'm a person who still likes getting a hardcopy of a paper (NYT), guess I'm old school, and I actually like getting free access to the Times 2.0 application. I prefer it to their website layout. To me that adds value to the getting the paper copy. But would I pay extra for it? Absolutely not. The NYT paywall will probably be a big failure when they start it up next year.
