Comment My favorite charity (Score 1) 287

I want societal expectations and systems to support the following.

I'll be glad to read a message from a stranger for a price. After my escrow agent informs me my message reading fee has been placed in escrow, I'll gladly look at the message. If I don't like the message, I'll cash your check. No problem! If I like the message, depending on how much I like it, I'll leave the money in escrow or refund it; and if I reply, I may send you an unguessable email address for future free correspondence.

Friends and relatives would have each have an unguessable email addresses for me (and presumably each other).

This would enable folks without a personal assistant to be reachable yet not open themselves up to the spamming scum of the earth.

This would be useful for social networking sites that focus on professional relationships, like LinkedIn.

It's essential that the terms be set by the recipient.

LoTR Lawsuit Threatens Hobbit Production 427

eyrieowl writes "J.R.R.'s heirs are suing for royalties on the LoTR films. Apparently they haven't gotten any money due to some creative accounting. Peter Jackson ought to understand...he had to sue the studio for much the same reason. As for The Hobbit? FTFA: 'Tolkien's family and a British charity they head, the Tolkien Trust, seek more than $220 million in compensation...[and]...the option to terminate further rights to the author's work.'"
