Sam Zell is after money in IP, Intellectual Property. IP has no bounds and metes -- rather in the arena of IP the meanest, biggest dogs comes by force and brutishness to have all rights. The big devour the little.

Sam bought the Tribune, but to make his money good there he's also going to "buying" legislators and judges.

We have today a "tax" on cassette tapes, cd's, dvd's -- that "tax" gets paid to the some PRIVATE recording industry consortiums, because our legislators and courts have said so. That money, that hidden tax, is our DUE to the recording and entertainment industry because we'd use those blank media to copy their works. No matter that many CD's and cassettes we burn are of our own photo and video albums -- we still PAY "THEM" THEIR DUE.

(And our legislators get quite "lubricated" by that franchise, too.)

Comes Zell. Now what? Look at a general "tax" on any internet access, with the proceeds pay to a MSM consortium, Sam Zell, big member thereof.

**** UNLESS *** we stay vigilant, and push back against the thugs of IP.

Do you get some form of sexual gratification by typing gibberish? You obviously have no clue about Patent/IP law. You should be quiet since you already appear the fool.
