		<description><![CDATA[Every political cycle there are ads on TV and there are increasing ads on the internet, all of these ads have music of one sort or another. Some campaign ads use original jingles while others use copyrighted material from other artists (usually famous ones.) In the case of the latter, the song might be unchanged [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EA CEO John Riccitiello sat down with Industry Gamers and talked about E3, 3D Gaming and my pet peeve, the Online Pass. If you haven’t been paying attention the Online Pass means that if you buy a game used, you’ll have to pay $10 to access the game’s online features. He did say one thing [...]]]></description>

Hell, some of the stuff I disagree with gets put up on this site by Brad. That’s right, we actually aren’t in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This isn’t exactly an original idea for an article to write, but in the aftermath of the announcement that Civilization V is using Steamworks, it seems like a good time to cover it. The minute I had finished reading the press release making that announcement, I felt a sense of dread. Why? I knew what [...]]]></description>

Well…the last may be true, because they are not exactly loved. This might be because they are a heavy handed organization that is aggressive in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Piracy ruins the economy! You’ve heard it from the RIAA, the MPAA, Senators, Congressmen and the news media. Industry funded studies claiming piracy impact numbers of  thousands of jobs and billions of dollars lost every year. However, a report (PDF) released a few weeks ago by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has thrown those wild [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something has been eating at me a bit lately, and I need to unleash a little inner Lewis Black…if there were a polite version. It seems whenever talk turns to discussions of piracy and DRM (And frankly, it’s a little too often these days), all reason and forethought goes out the window. It quickly degenerates [...]]]></description>
