Murdoch says journalism's future is 'more promising than ever,' but rails against Web 'theft' - http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technol...
F**k off, Murdoch - Mo Kargas
Google have taken most if not all of the classified advertising from the newspapers. Google has $25bn in sales. Most of the newspapers are bust. This is not new money or a new business. This is just money transfer from paper to online. Murdoch is fighting his corner. Show him some respect he's been at it since 1953. Sky Television rescued soccer in the UK. Murdoch did that. I love football. Thank you Rupert. - Thomas Power
Old Focker will die off soon... - CW™
Fact: You can't own facts. A house burns down. 5000 reporters write 5000 articles about it, telling the story 5000 different ways. The fact that the house burned down can't be owned by any of them. But Murdoch would like to believe he can own it, exclusively, and that you are not allowed to know that house burned down unless you pay HIM for that knowledge. How does he plan on stopping... more... - April Russo (app103)
don't misjudge and man cos' he's old http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... otherwise one day your grandchildren may misjudge you too. - Thomas Power
Huffington's rebuttal is good including a list of all the News Corp sites that aggregate(steal according to Murdoch)... Rotten Tomatoes, WSJ tech section, Fox News Politics Buzztracker, AllThingsD Voices... - Ed Millard
Murdoch's negotiating in public a better deal for himself with Google and Bing. Can't blame him. - Thomas Power
yes i can, and i do. - Joe Silence is not dead
I wonder what motivates Murdoch. He certainly doesn't need to make any more money. It has to be much deeper than that. Esp. at his age, when most people would have long hung it up by now. - Dawn
Its sport. Most hard nosed successful business people just play the game to win and to beat their competition. - Ed Millard

Students Blocked From Publishing School Paper, Given 2 Hours To Write New Stories Or Fail - http://techdirt.com/article...
This reminds me of when I was in high school and created an alternative newspaper called The Dark Horse (The office one was called The Mustang, our school mascot.) The students loved it, but the school administration went ballistic. Sadly, it was limited to one printing. A fellow student I recently hooked up with after about 30 years told me he kept a copy of that for many years. Ha! That made me feel good. - Dawn

Seems like every little kid eventually learns this game. Weird. Must be in the genes. :) - Dawn
Sarah is the bold one, huh? :) - Dawn
Dawn, most of the time, the answer is yes. :) - Louis Gray

Back in my day, spammers were much cleverer. Yeah, boy...they'd put ACTUAL SUBJECTS in email and really tried. None of this namby-pamby slip-shod slip-shoddery! - Anika
Hahaha - Mo Kargas
Oh. DId I expose her e-mail address? Oops. - Louis Gray
I like the fact that you use Mail.app. I miss using it but it just doesn't play as nicely as I'd like with Gmail. - Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, I've been on .Mac/iTools/Me.com/whatevertheycallitthesedays since the beginning. I dig GMail, but can't quite make the switch. - Louis Gray
for a moment I thought that was my invite to participate in the eBook I'm organizing, Louis. Let me know if you'd like to. - Valeria Maltoni
Oh Valeria, not only are you feeling ignored, but guilty too! (Sorry, I'm behind at everything) - Louis Gray
understandably busy you are ;) - Valeria Maltoni
That's not as amusing as one I got where they wanted me, a female, to review their male enhancement product and post about it on my blog, linking back to their site. I almost wrote a post about it, and would have even given a nofollow link, considering what their product was and how funny the whole thing was. (some very expensive cable ties and the founder of the company had the last name of "Long") I got a real laugh out of it. I need to see if I still have the email (probably filed under humor). - April Russo (app103)
