Sure, it’s a storm, but there’s lots of bubble activity out on the sea

August 23, 2006

Grouper purchased by Sony for $65m USD, roughly $70 – $120 USD per user. This is seriously, seriously, nuts. The company that does it’s best to ruin music for all of us with its crappy rootkits and DRM technology buys a video sharing service….wonder how long it takes till Grouper dies….6 months, 12 months? with Sony’s track record it will only be a matter of time until they make the site so unworkable, unusable and undesirable that it will die an inglorious death.
