Heh, I should really change the name at dot whatever part of the contact to something that I actually check.

As interweb-stupid as this sounds, I’ll contact ya via myspace and whatnot.

I’ve been trying to get a hold of you for awhile. I’ve sent you e-mails. Asked Brian if he had more accurate contact info on you. I even left you a voicemail! What’d you do: blacklist the whole entertainment industry? Get back to us, man!

Interesting stuff. From a sociological perspective, your idea of socializing kids to ignore or, worse, not even recognize surveillance, is pretty dead on. I think the important factor to remember is that it’s unlikely that this is a vast government conspiracy, but is probably being pushed for well-enough meaning reasons in response to very real fears. Yet, that is the way systems usually go, sociologically speaking. 1 company owning 6 tv stations may let them operate independently with no interference, but slowly but surely, policies will be enacted not allowing negative coverage of said company.

As for possible alternatives, I’m not sure what there could be. Hysteria that parents often exhibit is hard to counter for fear of being accused of not caring about kids. And, as you well, know, horrendous things are enacted to “keep our children safe.”

[…] Probelm Two: I obsessively play MMOs. Not to the catass extent, but if I’m engaged in playing an MMO, I play at least twice or thrice a week. This tends to cut into “second job research gig” time. My main gaming achievement is being able to do every level of the game mentioned in this post in one pass. Problem Three: I’m not really paying too much attention to the industry. My goofing off online time is spent trying to keep up with various forums and whatnot. […]

Comment on Blizzard Suing Peons4Hire for In-Game Spam by Blizzard puts Peons4Hire out of work | Warcraft-News.com

[…] This is probably the best news I’ve heard so far all year: Blizzard has won an injunction against Peons4Hire (we’ll say their name now), which means that the one-time constant chat spammer is now legally banned from interfering with the game. It sounds like Blizzard sued on nearly all the causes that were speculated on a while ago, and as a conclusion, have outright won their case: according to the injunction, In Game Dollar (the company that advertised Peons4Hire) is “permanently enjoined” from “making any use of the World of Warcraft in-game communication or chat system to advertise any website, business, or commercial endeavor.” […]
