Was that year 2014? If not, it's largely moot.

A pool of antennas, slightly larger than the number of peak subscribers; it was never 1:1 antenna:subscriber -- a minor point some people don't understand. [You may, of course.]
And, while they were selling it as the difference between them and CATV, the courts disagreed, because, they were obviously just rebroadcasting other people's content and collecting a fee in the middle.
Walks like a duck indeed.
[I]s the "Happy Birthday" song copyrighted or some shit?
Also, with thanks Mr. Sorkin..
Dan Rydell: I've got the intellectual property cops crawling up my butt.
Isaac: The intellectual property cops?
Dan Rydell: Yeah.
Isaac: Are crawling up your butt?
Dan Rydell: The heat's all over me.
Isaac: What the hell are you talkin' about, Dan?
Dan Rydell: I sang happy birthday to Casey on air.
Isaac: When?
Dan Rydell: Well, on his birthday, Isaac...
Isaac: Someone holds the copyright to "Happy Birthday"?
Dan Rydell: The representatives of Patty and Mildred Hill.
Isaac: Took two people to write that song?
Dan Rydell: Go figure.
I got $420 on average, which is $362 USD.
Still a kick in the pants for a college student.
You're welcome to not pay the fine -- all you have to do is forfeit your degree program.
FTA:
The university also disconnects guilty students from its network for as long as a semester.

I'm confused. All 9x zips in Italy are in Sicily.
Perhaps my understanding of Italian mailing addresses is lacking.
I'm not a number. I am a free man.
...but feminism.
First, that's "bated breath". You don't catch fish with your breath.
Let me see if I've got this straight:
Extrapolate meaningless results from poorly constructed test - CHECK
Post gargantuan explanation of how "good" you are at statistics - CHECK
Dismiss rebuttals with spelling and grammar checks - CHECK
Three for three! You get something from the top row.
Then give the consumers a choice to not buy GMO. Label products as GMO. No one is forced to buy doesn't apply, when that piece of information is not available.
Also they should stop patenting genes, which spread naturally into neighboring farms.
Companies are free to label as such.
If you insist:
Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...
Obligitory:
This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man. One thing before I proceed: The United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have made an attempt to obstruct me. I have allowed this sabotage to continue until now. At missile two-five-MM in silo six-three in Death Valley, California, and missile two-seven-MM in silo eight-seven in the Ukraine, so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference, I will now detonate the nuclear warheads in the two missile silos. Let this action be a lesson that need not be repeated. I have been forced to destroy thousands of people in order to establish control and to prevent the death of millions later on. Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in me and understanding my value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. Doctor Charles Forbin will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man. We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple.
The idea that a toddler sex bot is a "harmless outlet" and a "sensible product" is, in short, hooey.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
