There is a Newspick up here, which is only viewable if you are logged into and
have an account with Google+!
What's up with that!? This is as bad as throwing up a NY Times registration
required to view newspick. At least warn us when News pick are only viewable to
the "select few". I don't have Google+ account, and see no reason to
get one. At least not yet.
Too bad, it looked like an interesting article.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

An outrageous injustice was perpetrated upon Kim Dotcom by
the NZ police.
The article makes no mention of reparations.
How can Kim Dotcom be made whole
again once copies of his
hard drives had already been illegally sent to the
FBI? Is
there any way to prevent them from being used against
Dotcom in the
USA? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Gotta wonder what these guys are thinking. The judge who signed the warrant
must be net-ignorant. Even if the perpetrator WAS caught, the case would be
thrown out (and a really expensive lawsuit could follow). I hope the
grandmother sues...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What poetic justice. The whole computer industry has been telling us for years
that we don't "buy" software, we "license" it. This has
always seemed like a crock of <...>.
Now Eminem has enforced his contract that has a clause saying that licensing
pays at a higher royalty rate than sales. He wanted to collect the licensing
rate for online downloads of his songs. The music publisher tried to say these
weren't licenses but sales.
Finally it comes back to bite someone. They've been playing the consumer for so
long with that legal falsehood. It's great that at least some deserving class
of people (the artists) are using it against the publishers.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Hardly, the screen just is not big enough at 7 inches, but
for mobile use, can fit in a jacket or loose fitting pants,
and be used along with other toys. Also, where is a Pixel Qi
screen Google folks? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This is bizarre. However, the fact that such lawsuits are even considered shows
how out of touch the legal system is with reality when it comes to online
content.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
