A lawyer: Parsing Steve Jobs’ alternative views of the future
Of course, he misses the point, and does not follow the blogoshpere. I’ve been preaching and predicting DRM-free music for almost 9 months now. The reality for the record companies is that they have missed their opportunity to really control the digital market because they were to intent on leaching every penny from every music sale.
Jobs is only a recent convert to the DRM-free movement. Many people have been pointing out the inability of the recording industry to get their head around not suing their customers for using their product. A few kids and parents copying music is not the same as real pirates that produce cut-rate copies of the various artists, and trying to recover those lost sales is akin to slitting their own throats.

I’m Back – Sort of
Hello!
Sorry for the lack of posts and information this past week. I got the flu mid-week last week and have been pretty much offline since then. I apologize for not posting, but this was the first time in more than a decade that I had the flu – usually I get just a simple cold over the winter. Not this time.
Anyway, I’ll be trying to catch up or at least get a handle on what’s happing today. Hopefully, I’ll get back in the groove quickly and get some reading started, and maybe some commentary. Later!

Down and out with a cold
Sorry for not posting recently, workload and a cold have kept me from doing much online this week. Possibly this weekend I’ll get back on track. 🙂

The Democrats running for Governor must have failed their math classes. The “high speed rail” boondoggle in California already cost the state taxpayers billions of dollars. The mess there shows that I saved the hard-working taxpayers in Wisconsin from a scam that would have cost
@RealJamesWoods If you take $1 million from one person and give $10 to 100,000 people, you’ve lost one vote but gained 100,000.
That’s Zohran Mamdani’s socialism.
To put it another way, no one ever tried to escape capitalism on a raft made out of trash
