No one buys their records, except for the Car Wash soundtrack. You're right about them bein' bland -- What are their albums called, Rose Royce I, Rose Royce II, Rose Royce III, Rose Royce IV, and their album covers suck.
Now the Ohio Players, there were some album covers. As one of my Heavy Hitting customers tole a amatuer one time, "Look for the ones with the bald chick on 'em, those were some goo' ones . . ."

You seem to be raising the bar of conversation around the general babble around here, stonedinaustralia -- at least you have not accused anyone of being gay. As my time is generally spent nurturing to those whose lives are so impacted by rock and roll records as to have distressingly little contact with the "real world" perhaps you can explain quickly and in your usual lucid style exactly the "decision" you and your colitigator sirmoonie were describing in another post?

to be as lucid as possible:
on-line u.s. business magazine "barron's" made comments about a local (australian) tycoon which he held to be defamatory - he sued them here in australia - "barrons" argued the case should be heard in the u.s. where they uploaded the article onto their site - so the fundamental question was jurisdiction which went on at least two appeals to the High Court of Australia (who hold the same position in the system as your u.s. supreme court) - i always get a little chuckle out of that reference to "high"
but it all hangs on how you define "published" - under australian law "publication" occurs at the point where the offending material meets the public eye/ear - so a newspaper written and printed in new south wales (for example)is also "published" in south australia when it hits the s.a. news-stands
i gather under u.s. law the reverse definition is adopted i.e. "publication" occurs at the place from where the material originates
i don't mean to bore anybody with this stuff but it's ramifications even effect this board (and by that i mean principally the unholy trinity as they could get dragged into something unpleasant and ultimately costly) - best we all watch our "imho"'s - particularly if we are going to get personal
- and remember - i'm sober (at the moment anyway)

So this affects print as well as on-line publishing? This is very interesting -- one can almost understand how the world wide web could be held in check by this disctinction. When Maxlugar chooses to publish:

On a message board, one assumes that he implicitly understands that he is "publishing" it on an electronic, worldwide forum, and that anyone in the world can instantly access it - where is the web "located" being the question. But one would think that print publication would not be under the same restrictions -- obviously, the major American publishing houses or Time Magazine or whatever are published, physically, in New York. Not that this has any bearing on an on-line magazine's case -- I suppose all bets are off once it reaches cyberspace. I am just curious about your implication that Australian law sees publication and importation as the same action. When I listen to an Italian LP in America, is it assumed it is "published" there, and if so, the import price I paid was a ripoff!
Personally, this is all too much for a man of my stature and profession to take at 2:21 A.M. I am going to bed. Will read yr. response with great interest in the morning.

ok doc...it is getting late...it just means, i think, that sooner rather than later there will be steps taken to unify the whole world's apporach and it's likely the u.s. defintion will prevail...it will certainly cut down on the potential for complete madness if so although it will limit (read - make more expensive) people's ability to enforce their rights...
the aus. definition is more expansive something is "published" when (and where) it becomes "public"
the u.s. approach is more along the lines, i guess (i'm not really that up with u.s. defamation laws), as you suggest - something is "published" at the point where it is produced and/or authored
it holds with newspapers and television too for that matter as well as the net -if the NY Times defamed me and the paper was "made public" here (which it is) - then, as our aussie tycoon did, i could bring an action against them here - the net situation makes the whole thing even more problematic because stuff on the net goes "everywhere" at the speed of light and the author/publisher has no control over that
and don't give me that "man of my stature and profession" stuff (you are really a doctor aren't you??)...some-one who understands things like you do can hold his own with anybody (while conceit is not attractive false modesty is also unbecoming)
good night...sleep tight!!
