KUFALA RECORDINGS CHALLENGES CLEAR CHANNEL'S LIVE MUSIC PATENT AS A "CLEAR" EXAMPLE OF TRAMPLING THE LITTLE GUY
Backtracking -- .
Monday 7th. June:Two straightforward legs, San Francisco>Chicago, Chicago>London. On the final leg, a very young baby one row in front of mine provided reassurance that a high frequency range is still within my aural capacities, even wearing earplugs, at 05.00, and on waking from sleep.
Interesting at San Francisco airport security check: a middle aged white man called out announcements, nominally passing as necessary security information, but in a fashion designed to attract attention to himself, and render the information secondary to the presenter. A remarkable demonstration of personality demanding attention for itself. Then, at the gate during the boarding process, from another agent, the same intrusion of personality into the announcement, but to a lesser degree.
