  1. Proud tradition of piracy by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Irish ISP Wins Major Legal Victory Against Record Companies

    Sometimes I wonder if this anti-piracy thing isn't a marketing ploy. The fact is that legal free music is better than the mainstream crap.. and is er... free..

    free legal music

    and remember, if youre a woman like the music industry, then youre probably a whore.

    No no my friend. XMMS used to look like winamp. Then winamp moved the goalpost.

  3. Re:Boxee by pdabbadabba · · Score: 1 · on ABC/Disney Considering Hulu

    "Why would Hulu care what size screen the viewer is viewing program material?"

    Because the content providers don't want you to cancel your cable subscription. Also, it's not "my theory." Plenty of others believe this is the case. Here is an example.

    "The problem with Boxee is it's open sourceness."

    And you say my theory is stupid because Boxee is only available to a small minority of platforms? What tiny fraction of these users do you think would actually modify the source to skip commercials?

    "Again, think man! Think! Boxee only works on Linux and Mac"

    Windows version is coming. Coincidence?

    http://www.last100.com/2008/04/11/fud-permeates-analog-to-digital-tv-conversion-in-the-us/ "It seems like a straight forward proposition, but there's FUD -- fear, uncertainty, and doubt -- swirling around when it comes to the upcoming U.S. digital TV conversion."

  6. Um Allo?! by Deliveranc3 · · Score: 1 · on Nokia's iPhone, No Seriously

    This is hardly the biggest announcement today, though it may be fake the GPhone seems to be gathering a lot of buzz.

    The GPhone!

    Too bad Slashdot didn't run this, it would have made an interesting conversation even if it was fake :)

    My current phone is free (totally) so buying an expensive one kind of sucks, the prices are massively inflated (as evidenced by their lake of VOIP software), the Gphone doesn't seem to have these problems as much as it has advertising problems (which might be solved with say the ability to use "delivery pizza" to have it suggest a pizza place)... A Free phone with VOIP and the ability to hook up to any GSM provider would be totally kickass.

    It's not the OpenMoko but it'll do to show the telecoms the future. They can panic and make their service better or they can grab for quick profits and speed the transition, I don't care which they choose (I already have a free phone remember). Cell phone bills are way too high, they shouldn't need 3 hours of service [$10 hr x 3] per phone, that's just crazy talk.

  7. Will this be relevant in a DRM-free world? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Microsoft Patents Process To "Unpirate" Music

    Last100 says:

    Paying users for sharing tracks that subsequently lead to a purchase is an interesting concept, which at least shows some innovation in terms of how to convert piracy into legitimate music sales. However, with the music industry moving away from DRM and towards universal formats, the idea may have already expired before it ever hits market.

    Universal needs Apple more than they need them. Here's why.
