I have to second (and third and fourth) the comments noting that reading the article will make you itchy. I read it last night and was completely tormented.

#29: Calm down, buddy. Go get yourself a soda or something.

I wish this film were longer so that it had time to examine this in more depth. My mom has a tendency toward this behavior, but she seems relieved when I barge in and organize a purge. This seems to be a different reaction than you would get from a standard hoarder, like the ones you see here.

Well, it would be nice if Paul McGuinness took care of paying songwriter royalties for cover songs on U2 DVDs. Just saying...

All problems with Best Buy targeting Scott Beale aside, isn't Best Buy's logo a ripoff of the name tags from The Price Is Right? This is sillier than the Rubinoos suing Avril Lavigne...

"Sparkly goodness"? I try to avoid that in a food product, anyway...

Glad to hear it. The people I've dealt with at the LOC through the years have always been really honest, logical, no-bullshit sorts (to the point of frustration sometimes, frankly). I figured there was something behind their fee other than "our database is proprietary information" thinking.

@Captain Oveur: Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can talk to the "out of cheese" commenter on the original post about a job; sounds like his workplace has a better sense of humor.

@poosnews: I'm with you. This looks like a cheap Chinese knockoff...

Thanks, Nick. Makes a little more sense to me now...

This seems like a non-issue to me; can somebody explain it further? Anybody can access the Library of Congress copyright records online...

Thanks for outlining the actual change by this new law, Sonja. When I first read the headline, I was baffled. Germany always seemed to be quite sensible in its solution to the "home taping is killing the industry" scare - performing rights society GEMA just collects a tariff on all blank media sold and distributes it to its members, right?

Aw, c'mon. The Blue Man Group is hardly hurting for cash...

Sounds fun, but did they have to put the Blue Man brand in the name? Gimme a break.

Design's so pretty on this sign that I can't be mad at it!
