Anheiser-Busch / InBev was formed in 2009 when Belgian/Brazillian InBev merged with Anehiser-Busch.

Is This the End of Righthaven? 71

New submitter Serpents writes "The new management of MediaNews Group (owner of the Denver Post) decided to terminate their contract with Righthaven. So far, the infamous copyright troll has lost all the infringement lawsuits they've filed (although it seems they've managed to settle out of court in a dozen cases or so). Is it possible this will finally spell Righthaven's doom?" The new CEO of MediaNews said that while the copyright issues are real, the involvement of Righthaven was "a dumb idea from the start."

Doesn't he usually get killed at the last moment, either because he valiantly sacrifices himself so the hero & heroine can get to safety -- or he lets his guard down just once and the zombies bust out through the wall and go *MUNCH!!* ?

>>This attitude is common with the older generation who aren't used to the net. "Free" rings alarm bells and this is an issue I rarely hear mention of when people talk about the problems linux has spreading.

And yet these same people may fondly remember hearing the Stone Soup story in grade school, Sunday school, etc.
