OTOH, I recognize its your soapbox and your call, but one of the things that I respect about (aside from your apparent alpha mojo to have a girlfriend like Lady V) is that you are not afriad to hear other points of view.

You may disagree with MM about a lot of things, but not having the decency to give credit to her when you're saying she made "the most effective point" is just silly. Wow, that is childish.

But, yes, she does have a good point. What I want to know is how they can set price structures for stuff within fair use?
