Ow. I think I've gone cross-eyed. : )
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
Danger! Danger Will Robinson!
You've used the word 'theft' in a thread on music piracy. Expect 500 Slashbots to jump down your throat telling you that downloading music without paying for it is not the same thing as theft adn another 500 to jump on them saying they're just doing that to try and justify their actions.
Abort! Abort!
So ... are you saying you do like the idea? Or you don't?
KARMA TAG! You're it.

Q:how do you ensure that there aren't 2,000,000 Britney Spears CD's
A: Scare them off with a high front-end load and fluctating beta ratios. That'll teach em.

Not more important.
More INTERESTING.
His ideas are more interesting that yours, and he shares them. If not, prove it.
I'll give you 50 cents if you stop promoting your pyramidal scheme right now.
You would always be walking a fine line between providing a useful service that is cheaper than outright ownership, and annoying people with a busy signal. Plus, as you bought more copies, the cost would go up.
This is where Cringley's dividend kicks in. One penny per download goes back to the physical owner of a CD. When a CD gets popular, somebody will
1) notice
2) go buy one (or several)
3) put it in the archive
4) Profit!
Wait a minute, there's not ??? here! I must have missed something!
I am not your blowing wind, I am the lightning.
eventually there will be streaming music videos on the net to replace the MTV distribution
MTV plays videos? Really? When? I thought the M was for Mindless!
given how the US/Canadian networks are intermingled, you can't be sure packets won't go through the US. As a matter of fact, to go to my library, eight blocks from my home, packets go through New-York City
This rerouting through the US is an intentional feature of every router we sell you guys. It's so we can keep tabs on what you're up to.
