C'mon Fat Man - Cough Up (Why I'm Suing Santa)
I see the RIAA is suing Russian music filesharing company AllofMP3.com (they sell songs for download for 10 cents) for $1.35 trillion. More here.Mmmmm, filing a lawsuit against a company that legally operates in Russia. Not sure that will work!
I liked AllofMP3.com's response:
"AllofMP3 understands that several U.S. record label companies filed a lawsuit against Media Services in New York.
This suit is unjustified as AllofMP3 does not operate in New York. Certainly the labels are free to file any suit they wish, despite knowing full well that AllofMP3 operates legally in Russia.
In the mean time, AllofMP3 plans to continue to operate legally and comply with all Russian laws."
In other words, "Go jump, Bozo!"
I File A $4 Lotzillion Suit Against Santa
I've just had a thought: I hereby file a lawsuit against Santa Claus for not giving me a Christmas gift ever since I've been a kid. My suit is for $4 Lotzillion US.
I think my chances of getting paid are more than the RIAAs.
C'mon Fat Man - cough up! ;o)
Digital Rights Management Is A Mess
All this RIAA law suit highlights is that digital rights management is a mess. It's an issue that's been ongoing for a few years now and there is no effective protection for either side in the debate.
I wonder if the Easter Bunny has ever had a law suit filed against him?

The only thing that could be a problem for amazon is the labels (especially the majors) not giving them the right to do so...We'll see what happens in 2007.
btw: Brendon, have a great year 2007 and go on publishing your - sometimes childish but always very insightful - ideas to the public. You rock dude!
It's really the big battleground for riches that's coming up.
And all the best for the New Year to you and yours.
Cheers
