On the boat again  A long drive, a long flight, then the boat. Should be a long day. See ya later... Pretty creepy, any way you interpret it Letter by IT CEOs to Entertainment CEOs is a document that I guessed few would read because the Judiciary Committee posted a link in small print here to its .pdf form, and nothing more. But I HTML'd it, so you can read it behind that top link above. Note that the document presumes that the goods in question have no customers, only "consumers." And that the only side of the market relationship (a generous noun) that matters is Supply, not Demand. And that neither the Internet nor the natural markets its commons supports are anywhere to be seen. The only thing that matters is distribution of "content." I can't believe Craig Barrett would actually sign this thing, but his signature is there. So are Steve Ballmer's and Michael Dell's. Significantly absent: Carly Fiorina, Steve Jobs, Ted Waitt. You can bet Andy Grove wouldn't sign it. Don't provision on me Andre Durand:
