the motto over the ecartnne to Hell was, "Abandon all hope ye who enter here." The same applies to our courts. There is no justice, just corruption and self serving judges and lawyers.

Thanks for your cnoemmt, John, and you are absolutely correct – there is a remarkably fine line between the privileged document and the legal hold activities themselves. But it is a distinction that has always been there. A communication is privileged if it is between a client and her attorney and given for the purpose of providing legal advice. However, facts are never privileged. Thus, in this case, what I tell my client in the legal hold hold ce is privilege, but the actions that are taken in response are not. The fact that I sent a notice, the fact that a custodian did or did not take specific actions – all that is discoverable. With regard to legal hold notices, it might appear to be a distinction without a difference, because, after all, everyone knows what is in the notice: a description of the case and the records that need to be preserved. And, the actions are so closely aligned with the content that the two become indistinguishable. But it is nevertheless important to retain the distinction because not all legal advice is so transparent, so it is important to respect the privilege in all its manifestations.

The preolbm with TiVoCast isn’t the indie content, it’s that there isn’t enough. Personally, I think it’s funny to see guys get hit in the nuts, but believe me I understand how you wouldn’t like it. Some of Break’s stuff is too hardcore even for me and I’ve set that bar pretty low.I think that TiVoCast will become a lot more relevant when users can upload any unprotected video from their computers onto their TiVo. This solves the content supply preolbm, but is less than ideal if you want to easily subscribe to a video blog or on going content.A better solution for mainstream content would be nice, but Amazon is a start and frankly, I think TiVo is better selling ads, then trying to sell content. The digital content game is a low margin business. They are trying to replace their lost DVD money by demanding a higher percentage of the revenues for a digital transaction. I like that TiVo is one of the few content neutral (sort of) solutions that are out there and think that this is a huge asset. TiVo has had darker days then these, but lately investors have shown very little faith. There are few near term catalysts and until the cable revenues start to kick in, the fast money will avoid it. Sooner or later, though the cable money will start to come in and then it will becomes a game of musical chairs. Right now, it’s hard for people to be very optimistic, but after the roller coaster that TiVo’s stock has seen, going flatline really isn’t all that bad.

Very isertnting. I checked out Amazon before, but didn’t like waiting for the movie to download. I’ll have to check it out now that I can actually get the movies to my TV set. $9.99 seems like a lot to spend on something that I’ll only watch once, but $3 sounds more then fair for a rental.

Christopher,Your mniusgs on the subject of mediating construction claims are right on the money-figuratively and literally! Construction professionals live with risk management decisions every day. There is the risk of underbidding a job, design errors, construction site accidents, labor disputes, and the list goes on and on. When a construction dispute goes to trial, the risk continues, but there is a distinct difference between litigation risks and those risks that are common to the construction industry: control. When you submit your dispute to a judge, jury or an arbitrator, you lose control, and you give it to people who have little to no understanding of your problems, and several weeks of trial ( and lots of money spent ) will not necessarily make them sympathetic to your point of view. As a result, mediation becomes a very important dispute resolution tool for construction professionals. With the assistance of seasoned contruction lawyers, parties to a construction dispute can evalauate the facts and analyze the law, and in most instances reasonably project the likelihood of success(or failure) if the case goes to trial. Construction lawyers are adept at performing decision tree analyses that include the costs of litigation that help their clients understand the success and failure ratio of a case (meaning, how much you have to spend to get the case through trial and even an appeal and what are your chances of a jury voting in your favor). With this advanced preparation, parties can participate in a mediation where they retain control of the outcome. If the dispute is resolved, it is because the parties decide it is in their respective best interest to do so. In short, mediation allows construction professionals do what they do for every other aspect of a project: control and manage risk. It should be in everyone's toolbox.
