Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Confused

Aahhh... On one hand, SBC epitomizes the evil telecom, with price-gouging, hideous employment practices, and intense monopolistic lobbying in Congress. On the other, they're fighting RIAA subpoenas:
"We are going to challenge every single one of these that they file until we are told that our position is wrong as a matter of law," James D. Ellis, general counsel for SBC, said yesterday in a telephone interview.
Based on their previous behavior, I'm sure there is some cold, calculating, corporate reason for this stance--probably something about damaging their "common carrier" status by making them responsible for their users' actions. Still, it's nice to see someone (in the corporate sense) with the cojones to stand up to the RIAA's carpetbombing.
