Gotta make sure anyone seeing any copyrighted material already owns the stuff and no virgin eyes ever see it. Can't have any new FANS from devilry like that, nosiree.

The interesting thing is that we got special permission to show OIS at a local Indie theater for our Shepherd's Tale event in Nov. I think that you can do it occasionally if you get special permission, we did it that once without trouble, I figure that maybe FOX would let someone get permission once a year or so maybe?

I agree with Anthony, we need copyright laws, but I like Invader Chat's idea, we could have a neighborhood outdoor Firefly party in the summer time at night, sounds like fun, can I come to your house and watch the side of your garage?

Pulling the plug and running for theri lives, News Corp chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch with his Communist Chinese wife Deng Wen Di in the US yesterday

TYCOON Rupert Murdoch has announced the closure of Britain's biggest-selling newspaper, the 'News of the World', in a breathtaking response to the phone-hacking controversy engulfing his media empire.

As allegations multiplied that its journalists hacked the voicemails of thousands of people, from child murder victims to the families of war dead, the tabloid haemorrhaged advertising, alienated millions of readers and posed a growing threat to Murdoch's hopes of buying broadcaster BSkyB.

Yet no one, least of all the 168-year-old paper's 200 staff, was prepared for the drama of a single sentence that will go down as one of the most startling turns in the 80-year-old Australian-born press baron's long and controversial career.

The preamble to a statement from Murdoch's son James, who chairs the British newspaper arm of News Corp, said: "News International today announces that this Sunday, 10 July 2011, will be the last issue of the 'News of the World'."

He added: "The 'News of the World' is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself."

Journalists at the newspaper raged that they had been betrayed by former editor Rebekah Brooks, now the News International chief executive, who faces calls for her resignation, following revelations that the newspaper under her editorship hacked the phone of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.

"Murdoch has sacrificed a newspaper to save one woman," one member of the newsroom said.

Andy Coulson, David Cameron's former director of communications at Downing Street and a former editor of the newspaper, was preparing to be questioned under caution over what he knew about phone hacking under his editorship.

James Murdoch denied perverting the course of justice by authorising payments to hacking victims.

Earlier in the day, major advertisers continued their exodus from the Sunday newspaper, with Sainsbury's, Asda, O2, Boots, Specsavers, Dixons and Npower joining companies such as Ford in suspending their relationship with the 'News of the World'. The Royal British Legion cut its ties with the paper over allegations of hacking of the families of military casualties in Iraq.

Scotland Yard admitted that almost 4,000 people may have had their phones hacked by the newspaper's private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, placing further strain on the testimony of senior officers to parliament that there were only

Okay, I've tried three times to respond to Storymark's post. WTF? So if it mysteriously shows up later in triplicate, my apologies.

To summarize it, I strongly disagree with you on almost every point, Storymark. Sorry. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Hello,

I believe that Copyright is important in the promotion of art, as it assures that people get paid for their investment in the art.

However, I would be very glad to see adjustments in Copyright law to create a more equitable situation.

FOX didn't give two shits about this show when it initially ran the episodes. . . Seems pretty pathetic when they guard it like they do today, even if they can just pawn the blame off to Screen Actors Guild for that.

Google and Apple went head-to-head in smartphones, Apple with its iPhone and Google with its Android software.

Isaacson wrote that Steve Jobs was livid in January 2010 when HTC introduced an Android phone that boasted many of the popular features of the iPhone. Apple sued, and Jobs told Isaacson in an expletive-laced rant that Google’s actions amounted to “grand theft.”

“I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong,” Jobs said. “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”

Jobs used an expletive to describe Android and Google Docs, Google’s Internet-based word processing program. In a subsequent meeting with Google's Eric Schmidt at a Palo Alto, Calif., cafe, Jobs told Schmidt that he wasn’t interested in settling the lawsuit, the book says.

“I don’t want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won’t want it. I’ve got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that’s all I want.” The meeting, Isaacson wrote, resolved nothing.
