What are you using now for your SMS gateway? I think the easiest way is to have the user choose their service provider when they provide their phone number and then you can send an email to phoneno@serviceprovider.com or whatever the text m

I've always like the idea of a Netflix for books but it doesn't seem profitable to me. USPS Media Mail would be the only way to ship them. Right now from DC to Pittsburgh the cost of shipping a 1lb book is $2.23 and the max is 10lb for $5.3

You aren't being that facetious. My father was a restaurant manager in the 70s and he had to catalogue every record he had, how many times each song was played, and then cut a check to the appropriate record companies to avoid getting sued

The RIAA sees it the same way as Arrington and it's how musicians have always been considered for compensation. Record labels make money off album sales, not musicians. The musicians will really make their money from tours, promotions, and
