Are Oracle deliberately trying to turn themselves in the evil tech company
I know oracle have always been a bit evil but with what there doing with Sun's IP are they trying to make themselves more hated in the tech community than Microsoft
I have no idea why hulu was trying to get support from British broadcasters, what they needed to do was get British ad revenue and put up the same stuff as they have in the states. If they refuse to deploy similar services in this country at a similar release schedule then I'll keep bit torrenting away until they let me pay either by scrambling my brain with ads or with my own hard cold cash.
Nokia already started to do this with the Internet Tablet range but have now seemed to have dropped the idea of a arm based Linux and switch to symbian. They seem to just be buying up mobile GUI and OS developers and then changing their mind about what is was they where doing.
All this is that adds in google searches point at the desktop landing page rather than needing to be a special mobile one. Big deal, no need for the massive hissy fit just cos you don't like google.
You make money from the fair share proportion of myspace's advert revenue (which is what last.fm now actually do), gigging, selling of music, donations, film/tv scores and anywhere somebody wants to make money from it.
The part that really pisses me off, is all these ageing artists who expect there recordings the did 30 years ago. Now i'm a programmer, i create software hence i'm a creative. But i don't expect the software i get paid for to write yesterday to pay me tomorrow. What people like Billy Brag and Cliff Richard are asking for is to have an easy life because there musically talented. Well you should do like the rest off us do and put aside some of the money you make today to cover when you too old to work. If you were to greedy and drugged up to do that the well take a state pension and do like the rest off us have too.
Now i am a so called freetard yet i probably spend more money on music and gigging (about £500 in the last year) than anybody i know. now if there where 60 - 100 people paying out that money each that covers one artist so it doesn't really take a genius to work out that you can support a rather large number of artists of off only a relatively small proportion of the population. Copyright was instigated to protect artists and creative's so that they could make a living but so that it would enrich us as a whole. With the current costs of production that happens in a much shorter period of time.
Just release his material under one of the CC Non commercial licences and a full blown one to anybody else. Make you money from other people making money and allow viral sharing to create you a market.
On the other hand what does he consider making a living because i'm fairly sure he is making far more than what the rest of the country calls a living.

Shame
As I will never give any money to the nut job aussie so I'll just have to find another outlet.
Except For Yank TV

Whiskey?
Isn't that called whiskey
Err You Are Kidding Me
So she has nor problems with Darth Mandy's draconian plans but the Spaniard's are well out of line for proposing a similar program.
Encryption
Quite how is this supposed to cope with a fully encrypted bit torrent client running of a dht tracker?
Yay
So we don't have to listen to the boring drivel that comes out of her speaking orifice .
Nokia are a confused bunch

MacOSX
This was apples solution for running macos9 apps on mac osx years ago. Nice that Microsoft are finally catching up with other company's.

Well you make money from myspace and the rest

There is a simple answer to his concerns
Just release his material under one of the CC Non commercial licences and a full blown one to anybody else. Make you money from other people making money and allow viral sharing to create you a market.

Spoiled Brats
There are some very good reasons why adhd and the likes have become more wide spread in the last 10 years.
1. It's actually recognised as a illness and diagnosed by most doctors.
2. More and more kids are being brought up in an instant society and expect to be continuously entertained and not have to work at anything.
