Do you have any references to back this up? I would be interested in seeing them. Our lawyer (a well known technology partner at a large Vancouver firm: http://www.cwilson.com/people/10-profiles/69-brock-smith/pro... ) had no qualms with t

Great story, but I wonder if this is a situation where you 'only hear about the winners'? I'd love to know if anyone has tried something similar on eBay? I suppose the question is this: is eBay really a good market for fledging startups loo

"Our way of life is better" Ahh yes, the colonialist's mantra. Even more of a historical failure than the communist manifesto. Go look at how life 'improved' in sub saharan africa. Or the profoundly sad state of natives all over the world,
