i'm confused too. Why are captchas bad? captchas are absolutely neccessary to fight automatic signups by bots. Are you saying just let the bots win?

wow, that's amazing. thank you.

i'm not sure the answer to your question, but it made me LOL. I completely agree.

Whew! As long as there's one other person out there who agrees, I know I haven't slipped into a parallel universe.

pretty good job! my only comment is to make more standard options to select from a list vs. typing in any value.

this thing is a mobile app waiting to happen. everyone has trouble with the four: passive destructive, active destructive, passive constructive, and active constructive

can someone explain? is this secret?

Up until now, yes, in that it concerns something not yet released. YT is working on releasing a streaming media service, on terms that are still emerging/being defined. From the looks of this document, the terms will not be pretty for non-major labels. YT gets a lot of reproduction rights and the ability to manipulate prices, which has a very high potential for exploitation of artists.

This contract is probably behind an NDA and releasing it may also break other confidentiality agreements already in existence.

The summary is that these terms are very unfavorable according to the indie artists and the companies they are affiliated with. They feel they are being strong-armed by Google and that Google is showing a strong preference toward large media companies and making it very difficult for future indie artists to become successful with this agreement.

if the author is reading this, please follow up here and let us know what happens to you from a legal perspective for having violated the NDA.

It seems so judging by the scarce amount of leaks. At least I haven't seen it prior to this published one.

i submitted this same url but I made the title:

i think the author of this post should watch 'House of Cards' on netflix. Human interactions (politics) are always based on being able to say things to others in private.

Not all that familiar with Freelancer but, if I was running a for profit business, I would feel free to experiment with pricing. If I wanted to raise my fee from $25 to $50 I think the serious reason would be, I want my business to be profitable. Sometimes when you first price something you are just kind of guessing what the correct price is. If you pick a number too low sure your customer might like it, but it may not be good long term for the business. So you have to iterate on price.
