I liked this when you launched it here recently. I still don't understand how you're dealing with the PRS issues though. At some point, someone has to pay the artists. Can you give any insights on how you deal with this? Best of luck with a

A really helpful, valid and well thought out response. This sort of advice takes a pitch that might just work in the Burj Dubai elevator (818 m/2,684 ft - worlds tallest skyscraper) and that almost gets the point across if you're pitching

As an old guy '45', and an old surfer (why does there seem to be this connection - see illustration to article) and also a serial entrepreneur, this article and the HN comments made some uplifting reading. As we're applying to YC this year,

We decided to keep our project in stealth for the last two years until we had our patent filed. We thought that this plan suited our project as we have unique IP with hardly any conflicts in the patent searches. This path has meant it's tak
