 Dear Reader:

If you are reading this column in the newspaper, but did not read every
article and look at every advertisement in previous sections, stop now. You
must go back and look at all of that material before continuing with this
column.

If you are reading this column on the Web and did not go to the newspaper's
home page first, stop now. Go to the home page and navigate through whatever
sequence of links our page designers have created to reach this page, and
don't you dare fail to look at the ads.

Ridiculous? Of course.

Tell that to the dinosaurs at some major media and entertainment companies.
They insist they have the right to tell you precisely how you may use their
products.
