1. Comment - American Airlines Sues Google Over AdWords

   (Aug 21, 2007 - 12:30 PM)

   Uh... I did a search for my company's GigaTribe (http://www.gigatribe.com by the way!) on Tucows recently and a competitors ad showed up instead of our listing, and the last thing that would cross my mind is to sue my competitor.

2. Comment - RIAA Sends Out Letters To College Students

   (Jul 24, 2007 - 5:51 AM)

   Students need to cover their asses by staying away from dangerous apps that reveal what they're downloading. There's so many ways to share music, why use one that exposes information? One example of a safe app to use is GigaTribe, since it encrypts exchanges within a private community of friends (that way your isp has no way of knowing the names of the files you're exchanging): http://www.gigatribe.com

3. Comment - Viacom Lawsuit Accuses YouTube of Outright Piracy

   A bit ridiculous...it's very hard to stop content from being shared...especially today, with encrypted file-sharing solutions popping up left and right, GigaTribe being a prime example: http://www.gigatribe.com

4. Comment - Record Industry Proposes Huge Streaming Royalty Fees

   (Mar 8, 2007 - 5:21 AM)

   This latest news is bad news of course, for everyone. I recently read that MTV doesn't even pay royalties on the videos they play. If the royalty rates were reasonable that would be one thing...if they can find a formula that doesn't overwhelm webcasters that's fine, but the royalties they want are extreme, unfair, and help destroy what's left of the music "business". One guy just posted on Digg that he worked at a terrestrial radio station that had to pay $400/song played, simply outrageous! No wonder there's so damn many commercials...and no wonder I no longer listen to radio anymore!!! Anyways, the RIAA should focus on eliminating middlemen and lowering CD prices...and they better enjoy their lawsuits while they can, because lots of file-sharers are making the switch to encrypted file-sharing solutions like GigaTribe, which keep people out of the radar ( http://www.gigatribe.com ).

5. Comment - House Bill Seeks to Exempt Backups from DMCA Violation

   (Feb 28, 2007 - 11:01 AM)

   Being able to legally back up your music is just common sense, but these laws are such a waste of time. What are they going to do when all of the consumers are using encrypted peer to peer solutions? (GigaTribe is one such example http://www.gigatribe.com )? They won't even be able to spot the copying of files between people, so they'll have no one that they can sue!
   
   What about my G'n'R album that I had on tape? Shouldn't I be able to legally copy someone else's seeing as how I once bought an official copy? Shouldn't I be able to sue the record companies because they sold me something that soon became obsolete?!
