Funny, I was always told, as an employee, my actions represent the company, and therefore anything I do negatively also reflects poorly on the company. So yes, it does show that Murdoch is hypocritical of copyright as his managers, and ultimately he is responsible for everything an employee does, especially if it is something as volatile, and as public, as this.
not number 16 on the top charts. He says :As a result, Ink is now ranked #16 on IMDb's movie meter and is currently one of the top 20 most popular movies in the world.

Up 81,093% in popularity this week. See why on IMDbPro.
I'd say that between the "sub-culture p2p distribution network" and the "30 second blogspot commercial teasers" that the popularity is going through the roof right now.
Except she is not a private citizen, she is former VP candidate and actively lobbying for supporters for a later bid. She is lobbying for people, she is using her notoriety to boost people. That makes her a "public servant". So, as she is doing this for a public lobbying group "Right for Life". This stops it from being a "private" meeting. If she wants privacy then she need to drop out of ANY governmental or public speaking.
Except for the panicked carjacker who then realizes that the accelerator isn't work, is going to puposely slam on the brakes in teh middle of an intersection to create enough confusion to get away...
They are running from the law for a reason (guilty or not guilty as the courts will decide), they are not going to let a loss of acceleration keep them from getting away. If they do, then they deserve to be caught.
Information has always been free, it has only been relatively recently that people wanted to charge for it. You cannot tax or charge for "word-of-mouth" news, which we still get on an almost daily basis.
Also, yes you can call 911 for every whim, as long as it is an emergency. You can call the local police non-emergency number for anything else. They do have a civic duty to "serve and protect".
In the world wide web, I am more apt to listen to the town criers that actually tell the news, then the ones that cry "pay me first for the news".
Sorry I disagree with you on this, as does micro$oft. Micro$oft repeatedly told people (during the age of floppies) to make backup copies of them, then USE the backups to install. That way you always have the original to make another duplicate. multiple copies off an original(stretching here calling anything truly original in this context) is a far better cry than a copy of a copy of a copy. Case in point: cassettes.
I am going to have to back ToHo on this one. You ask where is the actual "harm"? How about the fact that Comcast has a less than favorable reputation. ToHo, like most businesses only want their products associated with the best representatives. If they didn't do this, then it *could* look like an endorsement of ToHo for Comcast. Which, in my opinion, could do some great harm to Godzilla's Image. The harm is not in being displayed, but with who you are associated with.
Kevin, while I don't buy the "addiction" angle, saying a virtual game does not alter brain chemicals is also wrong. Depending on the game, the risks involved, the escapism from reality, endorphins will be released based upon certain milestones in the game. Saying a game doesn't alter brain chemicals is also a very dangerous road.
ESPN finally got it right, and coordinated something like this to increase their ratings. I think I would be looking at her ratings on ESPN and see if they have gone downhill recently. If they have, it is a good argument that this was staged in order to bolster her reputation. Someone made a comment about how women got in TV to begin with, well if what I said is true, she just proved that point, she just did it with Streisand Effect combined with Viral Video.
While I agree with your overall assumption, I know that those "unscrupulous" people will find ways around the paywalls as well. The newspapers are trying to make a blanket rule against everyone, but the problem is any blanket always has holes. The fact that these newspaper corps refuse to use the tools already at hand, but would rather force the government to get involved to make new rules and tools, shows just how out of touch they really are concerning technology. Creating new standards to benefit only one thing does not solve the underlying issue: People want news, they want it now, and they don't want to jump through hoops to get it.
Eve touts that it's economy is basically that of a small country, roughly 80 trillion ISK (their in game currency). He stole 200bln. That is a quarter of 1% of the total money in game. How much of the total money in the U.S has the banks caused to be lost? The banks were a direct influence on the car manufacturers. The banks were the direct influence on the housing lenders. All this trickled down due to mismanagement. The same is happening in EVE. The difference is, EVE doesn't have a government offering bailouts to the people that lost money. Yes, there will be a credit crunch in eve. That big of a loss is going to affect prices for a long time. Just like that last big issue in EVE, the starbase Exploit - but that is a different story.
"The fact that they announced the error and offered compensation for it is pretty telling in a company as large as Dell."
Dell manufactures in bulk, so much so, that the monitors probably only cost them 15 dollars each. Also, typographical error from 150 to 15 I could understand, but not 148 to 15. That was deliberate. Whether they wound up mixing their wholesale price with their retail price, that is their problem. Again, if it was caught before the transactions were completed, I would say ok on the apology. If the transaction went through, a deals a deal. The contract has been signed. Dell is out of luck there.
actually, you are wrong. The minute you posted it on the web, it became two pictures, one of which you lost control over by posting. You want complete ownership, don't post.

State funded national newspaper? Where is McCarthy now? If that doesn't smell like a "red" herring I don't know what does.

thanks DM, I just had a copyright infringement in my head as you caused the theme song to play without me paying the respective royalties board.
News at 11, imagination getting sued for copyright infringement and/or possible trademark disputes.
