Getting Back Down to Business

Ok, now that we've gotten the bugs worked out over on blogtv, I'm getting back into actual show planning. Here are some of the things we're going to talk about tomorrow.

Jammie Thomas-Rasset lost her case. Again. This time, this particular jury decided on a worse penalty than the last one. Now she has to pay the RIAA (also known on this page as the music mafia) $1.92 million dollars. Works out to hundreds of thousands of dollars per song.

Hmm, what is the 8th amendment to the constitution? Some crazy thing about excessive fines and penalties?

Ah here it is.....

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Ok, so this isn't excessive? Got it.

Also found something interesting on the EFF's website, ASCAP wants cell phone companies to start paying royalties for ringtones. No, I'm not making this up.

All this and more, tomorrow night at 9 (eastern) over on blogtv!
