That's a really good suggestion about registering NOW, in anticipation of doing an app at some point.
Now–what's your call on this: a member contacts your association saying they've developed an app that includes content created by your association (say a Twitter or blog feed). They intend to charge for the app. Do you grant [...]

The agents searched Houses bags, then took him to a detention room and questioned him for 90 minutes about his relationship to 23-year-old Bradley Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who is in custody for allegedly leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks. House helped set up the Bradley Manning Support Network, a grassroots group raising money [...]

Sorry Dave, I posted my update before I saw your comment. Downloads are way beyond what I thought, but I think many are "spam downloads" if there is such a thing. Just random people in foreign countries downloading every app under the sun.

OMG I am floored by the Editor's response!!! Wow. I think if you look up "balls" in the dictionary, her response might just be in there. Again: WOW.

As others have said here, it's about the right to compensation. Copyright law in its most simple terms says that the originator of a work gets any and all positive benefits that result from that work, and anyone else who wants to capitalize on it must compensate the originator in some way.

Hi Matt-
