| With the information revolution in full swing, I for one am curious how our intellectual properties laws will adjust if at all. It becomes not only a matter of definition but also practical enforcement. Having said that, I stumbled on this text/video on youtube recently and thought it raised an interesting point. Plus I love the background song!! Let me know what you guys think.

| that video said a lot in a very simple way.
it reminds me that theres a radio show about natural healing that i've listened to for years on the radio, with my dad. the show has recently been extended for another hour for those who listen online.
this was ideal cause now i'm at school during the hours of the show, so i started listening online the following day to the previous show.
this week i went to listen to the previous day's show and now u have to pay $1 to download the show. i mean, the show comes on the radio for free and now there is a fee to hear it online. we already pay for computer and internet service, where we are bombarded with advertisments so its like we already paid with our fees and our time. why should the station get another dollar each time i want to hear a program thats free on the radio?
when we as fans watch our favorite program; it was paid for by the commercials we are forced to sit through. why should we pay again?
yes, the background song was good, do u know who sings it?

| yeah it's from the Donnie Darko soundtrack. It's a cover of a... I wanna say... "The Cure" song called Mad World. I think the guy that does this version's name is Gary Jules. Yeah you're right! I was just remarking to my mom the other day that I think Corporate America's biggest problem is that they don't know when to quit. It's not longer about just "remaining profitable" but instead squeezing every last penny out of your customers until you've got them at that perfect point. The point where they're kind-a-sorta pissed at you but not enough so that they'll take their business elsewhere.
