OffScale is developing a new breed of database management and automation tools. We're looking into ways to make the trial experience as easy as possible. We have just released a precofigured EC2 image available as a way for users to try our product.

We'd love to get some feedback on this approach: 1. How can we make the experience even better? 2. If you have experience regarding EC2 as a marketing tool, did it work for you? What have you learned from that experience?

It's really hard to do lean satellite development. There's a set of constraints that prevent this type of problem from being developed and deployed iteratively.

Except for identifying the fact that the opportunity has been missed and closing shop earlier, I can't really think of what I would have done differently.

What do you suggest? How would you lean the process?

I must admit I haven't read any deeper, so you may be right. I think, however, that if you combine the rulings over time, you will notice that the spirit of the law, as it is interpreted by the courts is in favor of the copyright owner. And the copyright owners are not in the business of being reasonable.

As Larry Lessig points out, common sense is a rare idea in the practice of law.
