1. Selecting just five articles per week might be very difficult sometimes. This week for example, I had to choose between Lavabit and the Rockstar Consortium and I didn’t feel proud of myself knowing that the reason behind my decision was a partial one. I chose the news about the Rockstar Consortium, not because of its importance but rather because of my own preference on this entity’s name, which, we must admit, is a notorious and famous one.

Please go back and read my blog’s post about “Take Two” and find out why I have a special preference on wondering: Can anyone claim the notoriety of the “Rockstar” name as long as the Rockstar Consortium exists?

2. We’ve been talking about stars and rockstars, and famous names and I don’t want to miss the chance to tell everyone: YES, AEREO ROCKS!

I do not want to discuss the legality, I simply like Aereo and this type of entity that takes a chance to do something different, and who not only has an idea, but also fights for it. I am a huge fan of this type of visionary attitude, and of people who can see far beyond these world’s limits and are always looking for more. Aereo does that for themselves and for their consumers, because there is no doubt that a victory for Aereo will vastly benefit the consumers, who will be able to watch TV/television whenever and however they like.

We have to wait until June, or early July, to find out if the future of TV and the cloud computing industry will be affected, but most of all, HOW.

3. I have to admit, I’ve always been suspicious of legislative amendments, especially in fields where a certain kind of equilibrium may be found. In the past weeks, the Internet was full of articles on so called “legislative demand” for software patentability, and now the UK legislator is looking to strengthen the IP rights on packaging.

C’mon, guys, have you lost all your arguments?
