with Google in search is that search isn't broken: Most users find what they're looking for quickly and have no idea whether one search engine is any more "relevant" than another.</p> <p>Also, search is seriously habit-based.&nbsp; If you hear about some cool new whizzy search engine, you might try it once or twice (Ask, Wolfram Alpha, Bing).&nbsp; But once you discover that the results are pretty much the same as you would get using Google, you'll quickly go back to your old habit of using Google again.</p> <p><a

pretty bad there for a while, going after college kids and housewives for millions, and accepting multi-thousand dollar settlements over illegally downloaded MP3 files. The thousands of downloads found them writing threatening letters and filing lawsuits against their very own customers: us.</p> <p>So it appears a change in tactics has worked. The RIAA took on Usenet.com, which provides access to Usenet newsgroups, and just <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal_tech/music/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=218400034">won a case</a> against them in Federal court.</p> <p>Usenet was a fat target-- unlike P2P networks like BitTorrent, Usenet newsgroups store complete copies of music files, as attachements to messages, for download. A host of tools was making the downloading easier and faster, and most broadband customers unknowingly got Usenet access for free with their accounts.</p> <p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/copyright-boogeyman-returns-riaa-wins-suit-against-usenet-newsgroups-2009-7">Read the rest of this story &#187;</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gEzCaYZyn5kb7g18ps0_CpCjeE4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gEzCaYZyn5kb7g18ps0_CpCjeE4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gEzCaYZyn5kb7g18ps0_CpCjeE4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gEzCaYZyn5kb7g18ps0_CpCjeE4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:cGdyc7Q-1BI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:QXVau8BzmBE"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=QXVau8BzmBE" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=QNzde7X7kXo:N27zfDRv3BI:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~4/QNzde7X7kXo" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.businessinsider.com/copyright-boogeyman-returns-riaa-wins-suit-against-usenet-newsgroups-2009-7 http://www.businessinsider.com/overstock-follows-amazon-drops-affiliates-in-four-states-2009-7 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~3/Jhv_OTlpoR8/overstock-follows-amazon-drops-affiliates-in-four-states-2009-7 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:26:00 EDT Paul Smalera <p><img class="float_right" src="http://static.10gen.com/www.businessinsider.com/~~/f?id=4810cb37796c7ac00075f8a0&maxX=304&maxY=227" border="0" alt="patrickbyrne" width="304" height="227" style="float: right;" />First Amazon paved the way for ecommerce sites like Overstock.com to exist and do business. Now it's paving they way for them to stick it revenue-hungry state governments. Overstock today followed Amazon and severed links <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124646193909080523.html">with affiliates in four states</a>.</p> <p>Residents of California, North Carolina, Hawaii and Rhode Island will no longer be receiving referrer payments for Overstock.com products sold through their websites. The whole issue revolves around sales tax.</p> <p>The states want Overstock to collect sales tax when an affiliate sells an Overstock item, as if the affiliate was actually a physical store selling its products. Overstock and Amazon beg to differ, since the affiliates are just that-- affiliates, not links in their supply and distribution chain.</p> <p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/overstock-follows-amazon-drops-affiliates-in-four-states-2009-7">Read the rest of this story &#187;</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeO_iQbaBPKlcjTCFvN9jw3klvw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeO_iQbaBPKlcjTCFvN9jw3klvw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeO_iQbaBPKlcjTCFvN9jw3klvw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeO_iQbaBPKlcjTCFvN9jw3klvw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?i=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:cGdyc7Q-1BI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:QXVau8BzmBE"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=QXVau8BzmBE" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?a=Jhv_OTlpoR8:i5HZSCwsR4g:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/alleyinsider/silicon_alley_insider/~4/Jhv_OTlpoR8" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.businessinsider.com/overstock-follows-amazon-drops-affiliates-in-four-states-2009-7
