I find it astonishing (watching from Canada) that the first and fourth amendments are so frequently violated by the government while the second is inviolable.
The Congress and House are paid for by corporations that want it that way, Adam.
I have to agree here. There were 2 other chains in my area when BB opened a giant store, and they overshadowed these two. More selection, more room, more copies of popular movies, friendly and helpful staff - what was not to like (except the late fee BS)?
After the other two chains packed up and moved farther away, BB scaled back on the number of copies, then on the selections, and then cut the size of the store by 50%. Helpful friendly people were replaced by the "I don't know what customer service is" type of cashiers, and the store went down the tubes.
The good news is that there are a couple of new video stores taking up residence near by, and neither one is BB!
That is why the RIAA didn't make the propaganda tapes. They would be downloaded so that other people could make them accessible to the Masses which would violate copyright. Then the RIAA would be in the position of potentially suing someone who is spreading the word about how worthwhile and wonderful the RIAA is. Even THEY saw what a PR nightmare that would be...

Re: "holding companies to an absolutely impossible standard..."
And Will B. will continue this rant until HIS posts are removed (by breaking the laws that he so vehemently supports now).
THEN how will he troll, when his trolling in made illegal?

Should it not be "Why is IT so difficult"?
