Just in from MSH (and mostly for the enjoyment of Mr. Suds & Soliloquies and JTG):

It’s worth noting that, as someone who would love to earn a living writing stories and such, my mind isn’t 100% made up on, for example, the ultimate desirability (or undesirability) of copyright. But one thing is clear: The current IP regime is completely out of control, and it matters a great deal in terms of our wallets, our privacy, our real property rights, and — ultimately — our freedom. The notion of intellectual property, as presently applied, is fundamentally at odds with a free society.
IHT: In print forever? Sometimes, authors would rather go out of print
Simon & Schuster, Random House, Inc. and Penguin Group USA are among the publishers who say that they are letting fewer and fewer books go out of print because of print on demand, or POD, which emerged a decade ago. Print on demand allows slow-selling titles to stay available by keeping them on a computer database and printing copies upon request, instead of keeping unsold texts stored in a warehouse, a system long regarded as costly and inefficient.
Uhhh, honey, I got the HST on one of your last posts, but the other acronyms you are spouting are quickly putting you in danger of becoming a teen who is IM-ing or text messaging waaaay too much for the good of their grasp of the English language.
Just watch it, is all I’m sayin’.
You mean your grasp of the Intellectual Property language.
MSH and JTG are initials of friends, not acronyms. We work together in the Intellectual Property / Copyright (IP/CR) realm, which is why I said this post is mostly for their enjoyment and, incidentally, explains the big tab entitled Project Gutenberg at the top right of this blog.
For the acronym-impaired, what does NOLA mean?

Following this prolonged straw-grasping (and this) on the part of Microsoft, but I live.
