What is this world coming to?

Everyone wants to start trouble...

http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20010425S0008

Someone is trying to incite the patent holders of Ringtones (the songs played by cellphones as the ringer) to stop the downloading of them via the 'Net....

$#!@#~!

LOL, although they have a point. The music is owned by someone and they could charge for it. However in that case I suppose ppl could start patenting anything. I mean losing royalties over ring-tones? Ha! So if I played a tune from a released song on a guitar and recorded it, I wouldn't be allowed to give it to ppl? LOL.

Hey Milamber. Didn't know u posted here. Nice to 'see' ya.

Know what's coming next--that is good?)

Cell phone signal blockers (They are against the law to use now, but I hear that some movie theaters and restaurants want to install them in their places of business, this will block ANY use of the cell phones/beepers/pagers ect.. I agree with movie theaters )
