How did having Czars become in vogue? It was a dirty word 20 years ago.
If a "Czar" stepped foot into Washington DC, Rambo would have shot 'em while Chuck kicked 'em in the back.

But back to the point... Wow, 2 articles in a row about big bad piracy (previous was the poor PSP). A few days after TPB gang gets $1mil + 1yr in jail.

At least the next story is about a GIANT bot net, not that that is "good". It's just more interesting than this tired rag.
The distributors screw'd the pooch when they squashed Napster. If they would have monetized our old-friend, they would have gotten bonuses bigger than ___________.

Give me a break, produce/sell more at a lower price and make it up in volume.
It's lemonade stand economics.

I would go to more than ~1 movie/year if it didn't cost 15 - 20 bucks per person. I feel soo bad for families.

I find this concept from the article ironic,
"It's pure theft, stolen from the artists and quite frankly from the American people...."

The distributor is the one that really looses with most piracy (software excluded). Artists are just slaves to the whole system as we are.

It is pathetic how much favor is being given to the system(s) that make profit. I think this trend has really accelerated in the past 20 - 30 years. Where's Rambo and Chuck when you need them.

I thought fascism would smell different.

try dragging and dropping bookmarks into the browser window into the bookmarks drop down (file/edit/v/g/bookmaks ....) this works on the PC its how i tell people to import their bookmarks rather than importing directly from IE (as those bookmarks are often dirty as a prostitute with out a health card) hope it works ...then again mac's dont have a right click by default, so i doubt it :p
