Combs to Pay $21,00 a Month Child Support

Look at the exhorbitant amounts of money these artists put out for alimony, etc...if they can afford fees like this, the record industry must be paying them pretty darn good from the money they are making from selling their wares.

Maybe P Diddy should consider getting himself "fixed". It would be cheaper for everyone.

MGM is no more?

Doesn't that put some kind of crimp in MGM v Grokster? Can you win a court case even if you don't exist and the people that bought you out support the other side?

"Oh, wait. This is America. Inanimate objects own copyrights and the authors own nothing, including their name."

I like George Z.
