Posted by michael on from the magic-eight-ball-says dept.

sapphire writes "An article today in the International Herald Tribune provides a look at music piracy from the point-of-view of pop stars in China. China is a country forced to deal with the reality of unchecked piracy of digital media products. Will their experience lead to new business models for the world-wide recording industry?"

    I suppose we'd better start suppressing disidents and killing large crowds of people at the same time. Yay China!

    Hilarious how the anti-IP community will take the most horrific examples as their shining lights. The GPL is basically communism in very dirty clothing (and with some BO)--ignore the fact that the Soviet Union was a stunning failure, and innovation was completely missing (not how the Soviets basically designed and built everything through espionage...just like how the GPL community waits until the next version of Windows to learn what to rip off: Those who innovate are off making money, while those who do monkey work do it for free).

    Do you realize that all these chinks are using Ninnle Linux as their OS of choice? It's uncrackable, you know. Not even the Chink Police can get at it! We Americans can use this to fight that terrorist Rumsfeld! Think Ninnle Linux for ultra-enhanced security and privacy!

    You arrogant bastard.
    You lying, dishonest, hypocrite! I'm choking on my own rage here!

    Then post your address and I'll be glad to mail you a hankie - a nice pink one to go with your politics!

    99% of people with money never did anything to merit that money, they were born with it. No, being born into money does not merit immense wealth.

    Actually, only 20% of the wealthy inherit their wealth. 80% earn it in their own lifetime. Try doing some research before opening your big, fat, ignorant, communist trap.
