Finnish Courts: Man Who Shared 150 Albums Owes 3,000 Euros
,----[ Quote ]
| An appeals court has upheld a ruling against a guy who was found guilty of
| sharing 150 albums online, and the court has ordered him to pay 3,000 euros.
| I'm trying to figure out how 24 songs = $1.92 million here in the US, but 150
| albums and 1,850 songs = 3,000 euros (a little over $4,000). Which one seems
| more aligned with the actual action?

Protecting Yourself From Consumers Is Not A Recipe For Success
,----[ Quote ]
| William Patry continues to use his new blog to make some great points that
| bear repeating. In a new post discussing Theodore Levitt's "marketing myopia"
| concept (something I believed in long before someone showed me Levitt's
| work), he points out how the industry seems to miss this basic point: that
| it's not selling "property" to people, but a benefit the customer wants.

That's why Finland is so far ahead. The MAFIAA must never manage the country;
*people* should in a proper democracy and the government serves /them/ (not
the other way around and not the MAFIAA either).
