E-Commerce News: Legal : Record Labels Sue XM Satellite Radio
"Consumers' Rights at Issue
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in New York by the largest labels, seeks $150,000 in damages for every song copied by XM Satellite customers using the devices, which went on sale weeks ago. The company says it plays 160,000 different songs every month.
The lawsuit does not seek directly any payments from or sanctions against XM Satellite customers who record songs. However, if the lawsuit were successful, it could raise the company's costs, which could be passed on to subscribers as higher monthly fees.
XM Satellite promised to fight the lawsuit and accused the labels of using the courts as leverage during business negotiations.
"These are legal devices that allow consumers to listen to and record radio just as the law has allowed for decades," it said in a statement. "The music labels are trying to stifle innovation, limit consumer choice and roll back consumers' rights to record content for their personal use.""

Free 411 – 1-800-FREE411 – Free directory assistance for your home and cell phone.
"Dial 1-800-FREE411 for free directory assistance. You may hear a short relevant offer while we're looking up your number…"
a fine idea… a similar one I had replaces the ring with ads. im not talking about ringtone but the way they have that ringback service where the ring is replaced by music… put ads there and have them pay your phone bill…
altho.. your phone bill would be very low… because… no one would call you…
again tho… not ads for ringtones… but like.. when u call someone… and while you're waiting for them to pick up… the ringing you hear in the phone before they answer… that's what im talking about…. having ads there
ex: u call me and u hear-
dial tone
the dialing sounds as u dial my number
instead of you hearing ringing next… you hear ads until I answer or it goes to voiemail
thx 4 the fwd mom…

Realistic Reviews of Home Businesses
"This is where the real money is.
Pay-per-click programs are the most powerful we've seen for making money on the Internet. This is referred to as Internet Marketing. You may have heard of some of these programs (the Rich Jerk is the most well-known). Each of the websites below show you how to make the Internet work hard for you, even while you're away on vacation. The profit potential is enormous and is well worth the investment in any of these programs. Each website offers a core of the same basic material, but each one also has a different specialty and expertise."
the problem i see is that their audience has to be jaded morons that know what this service is refering to and has probably had some bad experience with that industry… or semi-informed/curious skeptics…
the skeptics still won't enroll…
those burned are skeptical
those not burned are successful and don't need this…
and no one else knows or cares about wtf they're talking about…
so nevermind… it's a dumb idea
nice try tho
could this be my calling?? blogging about how ridiculous some spam is?
no… but someone should.. are there spam-watch blogs? that discuss the greater social implications of the spamiverse? the cultural phenomenology of the spam?
