Let's see how you'd react when someone fired you because your "business model" of wanting to be paid for doing your job is outdated. Apart from the greed of record companies there are actually many people who work hard to create music. Shouldn't they be paid because you think that you should be able to get anything for free?

Explain that to the artist who gets 10 cents out of the dollar from the record company. Shouldn't he/she be paid fairly?

The pack sold is not illegal in any way. it does not teach the owner how to break the law? it simply educates them about it.

I quite agree. Syfert himself puts it very well:

"If 19 cases costs them $5000 in attorney time, I wonder how many cases it'd take before their business model crumbles. That is unless they are going to actually work for a living."

It's funny cos it's true. The whole thing reminds me of record companies trying to hold THEIR outdated business model with ligitation, which is also funny; they are on borrowed time.

Except, this time it's not Joe Public. I hope this guys socks it to them. Huzzah

If everyone who had a bluetooth were able to communicate via their mind to their phone instead of audibly, that would save me a lot of confusion. I welcome it with open arms.

I realised recently that when I walk down the street and see someone talking to themself I now assume it's a Bluetooth headset. The other day this led to an interesting run-in with a good, old fashioned, crazy person. Sign of the times.

Submission + - Was there only one Big Bang? (physicsworld.com)

goldaryn writes: physorg.com are running an interesting story about the work of Oxford-based theoretical physicist Roger Penrose.

Penrose has been studying CWB radiation and believes it's possible that space and time did not come into being at the Big Bang but that our universe in fact continually cycles through a series of "aeons". He believes that he has found evidence supporting his theory that the universe infinitely cycles, which contradicts current theory.

They thank Physics World , who ran the original story.
