„Some users have been the I think unwitting dupes of this approach, having been convinced by certain interested parties that RSS == scrappy user-lovin' puppies and Atom == baby-eating corporate Nazis. Aside from the fact that Adam Curry can hardly be called a disinterested party to this problem, his ability to publish (or "broadcast" as he puts it) his content through RSS seems safe for the foreseeable future, and should Atom prevail, he's still not going to be typing out his feeds by hand - it's a matter for his tool vendor to address, though I think in this case it's a safe bet that said vendor is not going to be supporting it anytime soon. Saying things like "Asking me to provide 2 formats is a waste of my time" puts me in mind of the insfrastructure argument again - he's not making any effort to publish the format now, the tool vendor is.“http://www.snappytheclam.com/archives/ 2004_04.html - Cached

„(See not only Perkins's site, but also The Norm , in which the cartoonist is blogging in his character's persona; and my personal favorite, Chris Baldwin's Bruno .) A cartoonist can pick up an several hundred to several thousand dollars per year when they are added by a single paper. An extra few thousand to tens of thousands of readers could be the momentum that convinces someone to write their newspaper or vote in a cartoon contest for new strips to replace Spiderman (the world slowest moving strip: Monday, Spidey wakes up; Friday, he's brushing his teeth).“http://blog.glennf.com/mtarchives/2002_02.html - Cached
„From all appearances, the MPAA drafted the bill in an effort to legislate personal video recorders (PVR) — such as those licensed by TiVo and ReplayTV — out of existence. The MPAA can’t come out and say that, because using legislation to reverse the decisions of the marketplace goes against the American grain — so it instead drafted language so nebulous that it would, if interpreted literally, outlaw a common VCR.“http://greenehouse.net/archives/2003_04.html - Cached
