Lindows to AOL: surely some mistake | |
|
||
| Time: 09:54 EST/14:54 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

The Linux distributor is sticking by statements about an 'AOL computer', though AOL insists there is no business relationship between the companies. Lindows says AOL may have its facts wrong. Lindows.com, which sells an operating system designed to compete with Windows in the consumer PC market, is sticking by its original announcement of an "AOL computer", despite AOL Time Warner's claim that the way the deal was described was "misleading". | ||

Ok, remember now the guy running this is the same idiot who started up mp3.com.

James - Well mp3.com was basically started as a bandwagon deal. They had a couple of good ideas, but then they apparently decided they weren't getting much publicity with Napster out there, so they started pushing the limits of the copyright law. At that point they got slapped hard with lawsuits, and you hear nothing more from them.
On top of that, from what I've seen mp3.com never really delivered on their promises of being an independent distribution channel for artists. Apparently they give even less in royalties to artists than the RIAA does. |

| Some of you don't seem to realize that AOLTW could be lying (for any number of reasons), and not Lindows Inc. |

JamesWjRose - "There are NO major record labels that give a 50% royalty."
Of course, they also give little representation for the artist. Basically, it amounted to a public ftp site for music files. Big deal! |
