Japanese ads downplay URLs, encourage searches
March 25, 2008 7:17pm
@Oheso - I believe you are spot on, and there's alot of good insight in these comments. Last time I was there (2005) I couldn't believe how many completely un-memorizable URLs were _still_ featured on ads. So weird to see a company that could afford an ad in a train station, but the URL was, like, "http://www.next99.co.jp/english_class/~signup_5432.html"
....or something.
And, yes, if there is any doubt - Yahoo rules Japan.

A company called Global Building Systems out of Atlanta built at least one school for poor folks in Jamaica several years ago: http://www.gbs-gpc.com
(crappy old website - click on the numbers in the top right corner).

MediaDefender sends takedowns for leaked mail, gets savagely taunted

I liked this one from MediaDefender-Defenders.com
________________________
Hello, Mr. Bob Gerber.
First off, this e-mail may not be a complete statement of fact, fiction,
and I fully reserve a right to change my mind if I feel like it.
Etc. Oh! Also, this e-mail addresses MD, not your law firm.
I didn't feel like digging through the database for an e-mail address, so here I am.
So! I'd like to make you aware of the following facts:
* You don't have any jurisdiction in Norway.
* The server is located in Norway.
* I'm located in Norway.
* Norway is not the United States of America.
That appears to preclude you from pursuing anything but a pointless scenario of
e-mailing me in the middle of the night.
However, fear not! The super-duper Server Admin From North may just yet save you.
See, if you provide a server in the US, I can upload everything there and redirect
the domains - then you can C&D that provider, and let the owner of the server
put in another redirect. Soon, after about a couple hundred C&D's, we'll reach
a state where any client (internet browser) will decide that it's in a loop, and shut down.
You could also pay me a lot of money. That might help. That'd actually help immediately.
But as it stands, it appears that your legal grounds for throwing letters at me
claiming this-or-that is shaky enough that you might want to relocate.
I look forward to your prompt reply. If no such reply is recieved within six hours,
I consider this case null and void as I'm an impatient man.
Well, it's already null and void, it'll just get nuller and voider.
Best regards,

This looks fantastic! However, Amazon is only showing "New & Used" copies for sale. Did this post cause it to sell out? :-) Is there any place else selling it?
