Sony CEO: We Were Hacked By Freetards Who Just Want Everything Free | Techdirt
quote: "The government should tax intellectual property. I suggest they do so on a yearly basis, and anyone delinquent in their tax payment should lose their copyright. This will remove all issues with orphaned works and should bring copyright back into the workable realm. If you want intellectual property to be like real property, this would go a long way to bringing it in line.That way Disney gets to keep Mickey Mouse as long as they want, and I get to use the words of Aldous Huxley on a website without having to pay off a company who has nothing to do with Huxley or his descendants taking taxes from a work that was written 80 years ago."

Story about Wal-Mart founder's treatment of his employees - Boing Boing
"and that is why Walmart exceeds so well at killing local small businesses. Its not that Walmart kills off all the businesses, it primarily kills off the ones trying to compete against it on it's level (cutting corners, underpaying employees, carrying shoddy product). If the choice is between a local store carrying shoddy goods at an exorbitant rate, and Walmart, even I would pick Walmart. This is where Walmart wins. In communities where this is not the normal or usual business practice, I haven't seen Walmart gain a foothold. That is because the big W doesn't know how to compete on quality or other factors that don't figure into having the lowest bottom line. I don't like Walmart's business practices, but that doesn't excuse other small retailers from running their own slipshod businesses, bilking their customers and employees, and generally being a bunch of avaricious pricks." --a commenterMarch 16 2009
