...President Bush said on April 16, in an attempt to appear flexible. "That's healthy. That's normal. And we should debate those differences." Nonsense.

He can stand "with the troops"; he can argue that the Democrats want to leave the U.S. military naked in Babylon.

They can like their political views and I have the right to like mine. I feel very strongly about my views and I thought they came in rather handy when Ford was running against Carter. It really...
...Should we not stand up for our rights when people continue to steal? Imagine how much more music would be stolen if we did not. Litigation has never been a preferred or solitary action. But unfortunately, it’s a necessary part of the equation. Remember no matter the business model, a basic respect for the property rights of creators will always be necessary for such an industry to stay healthy. Record companies do not profit from this litigation. But we spend the money on this program because we must protect the integrity of the digital marketplace, no matter...
