It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There are a lot of songwriters out there just eking a living off of rights. It's not all Styx (which is in my head now THANKS A LOT) and if those lyrics sites started paying for content, or Universal paid what releasing Miami Vice is worth to them, it would make a big difference to them.

Someone tell me that it would be perfectly fine to leave 20 minutes early.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was never thinking about lyrics sites paying, since I see them a source of free advertisment. Sure, they're making money off ad revenue (and this is probably the whole point), but it's free to me to go look, so I do it very often. Also, the lyrics are a poor substitute for the song itself-so going to a lyric site isn't even song methadone.

I would, sarameg, but I'm still working, so you have to suffer along with me.

Damn you, Theo.

I was disagreeing that he's the most dour, unfunny person imaginable.

Not as long as Ann Coulter remains undead.

F&G is another show that had to fight hard to get all the music on the DVDs, and that delayed the set for a long time.

They weren't completely successful, either. Just mostly.

What's missing?

They're making money off of content they don't own, though. It's basically reprinting copyrighted material. I don't think a songwriter is thinking about the advertising, so much, but that they're using someone else's property for their own profit. I don't know if RIAA is involved or not, but I imagine ASCAP and BMI should be.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I will, Sara. Theo only has power over you if she is providing your transportation.

Thank you.

Now I have to decide what I'm doing for dinner, since pretty much everything I have involves defrosting. Sigh.
