Can you please explain how the RIAA crushed 'individual rights' and 'innovation and personal freedom'? I mean, from what I know they only got it to be illegal to copy movies/music, right? And the DMCA was passed unanimously by the Senate, so it's clearly not just the RIAA that is interested in 'crushing innovation and personal freedom in the United States' as you claim. What am I missing?

What makes it worth paying for?

right-clicking to remove a marker would be awesome.

having accounts would be nice, too. and being able to upload data from gps watches. but one step at a time. this is really cool, thanks for sharing.

Why don't any of these articles put blame on the users, for broadcasting their data without any encryption set up? I guess that's not the exciting news story. They could at least use the opportunity to educate people a bit..

probably too much paranoia.
