Contracts are two way agreements right? Can't people turn around and start charging AT&T a new fee, say $0.61 Contract Adjustment Costs Fee, used for the administrative tasks of going over new and unexpected changes to the bill.

So for The Little Mermaid, published in 1837, Disney made their movie of this original work in 1989, making it 152 years after publication. What's the shortest time from an original work (you might argue some of those Brothers Grimm tales were based on existing local legends, which is what Disney was basing their movies on; does that matter?) to publication that Disney used without licensing? What are the chances Disney wouldn't lobby for an extension beyond that time limit?

The trick is to take advantage of the inverse. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to order the free 0.5 GB model.

Could they sell copies of "Song of the South" or other items that copyright holders in the U.S. refuse to sell?

You mean like the changes Tolkien himself made and wanted to make? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit#Revisions

I've read a lot of comments here about whether tax avoidance is ethical or not. I have an analogy that I think sums it up. Assume that a child tax credit law was written poorly (intentionally or not) to allow the full tax credit for any children under your care on 12:00 am January 1. Now suppose as an individual paying taxes, you could go into an orphanage and adopt a couple of children at 11:59 pm on December 31, and then cancel the adoption at 12:01. Let's suppose you even give the kids a piece of candy for their trouble. The orphanages agree to this, as it reduces their candy budget requirements. You then claim the full tax deduction. Is this ethical?
