But you're missing my point. I'm just saying he's supporting the shit singles + filler album because when there IS a genuinely good album he pays nothing for it.
You'd think they'd have learnt their lesson from the previous version which broke in win64.
But they didn't think to tell anyone when they downloaded it or supress the prompt in win64 to upgrade to that version, which would then refuse to run.
That's the point I gave up on itunes now I think about it.
Oh I agree they should be disqualified from certain jobs.
But if you're going to require them to be constantly monitored and register email addresses etc because they clearly present a danger in ordinary life, don't release them.

CDs have "been around" since 1982 yes but they weren't the primary means for most people until well into the 90s. It's only in the last decade that your average family car has been a CD instead of casette, the arse end of a lot of ranges STILL have tape players.
Hell, I'm 26 and I've rebought a reasonable amount of stuff on CD or downloaded it that I have in tape only form. I wasn't CD only until I went to university in 1998.
I agree. If they get released they should have the same rights as everyone else (minus perhaps "Working as teachers").
If they're a danger, then they shouldn't have been released in the first place.

Anybody who makes an album of consistently good music, I'd rather hunt down a used CD and rip it to a Lossless file, but if I only want one or two songs from a particular artist ever, and I'm not too fussy about hi-fi sound, then $1 per song is a good deal.
Which is actually quite ironic.
Because in that scenario, the artist that makes a good album gets 0c from you, whereas the artist who makes a couple of good songs gets $2.

For you there's no reason and for every reason you post it's my 3rd choice player.
But there are some files, especially broken ones, that it can handle and nothing else does.
Not really because that lops a 1/3rd off the cost of the 360.
And once you've GOT a 360 when you do eventually decide to go next-gen for movies that makes it £129 for HD-DVD (new drive for box you have) vs the full £425 for a PS3 for blu-ray.
And if blu-ray does win there's zero stopping them just bolting a blu-ray drive onto the 360 the same way they have with HD-DVD.
Well the one thing that's decided me is the lack of region encoding on HD-DVD. It's a huge advantage for the format and I can't believe it's not being talked about more.

Actually it is.
Becuase if filler albums make money, that's what you'll keep getting. That's precisely what the market is about.
*sigh*
If the album has 2 good songs and filler he pays itunes $2. A proportion of this goes to the artist and/or rights owner.
If the album has 11 good songs on it he pays the used CD store. $0 of this goes to anyone other than the used CD store.
The point is he's rewarding filler albums.
I too would love to hear your reasoning on this.
Which is an arguement for child porn too for instance. I think most people would agree in general on "some" censorship
Who it is, is completely irrelevent in my example. You're being deliberately obtuse to avoid addressing the point.
By the artist I mean the copyright owner.

Except if you have to register your prescence and apparently your email that's simply not true.
Either let them actually go free or keep them in.

I'm going with "The one who all the evidence points to", namely Hans.

You don't misread me but slightly misunderstand.
I'm suggesting that, if we accept games consoles are driving video format shakeup then MS could be in the good here.
People will buy the 360 for games because it's largely equivilent to the PS3 for those but 1/3rd cheaper.
Later they decide they do want HD video. Given they already have the 360 my original costings apply.
If you buy both at once you are of course correct.
Regardless of your reading of HD-DVDs region situation, Blu-ray has full encoding.
Which presumably is why you chose to be AC to post that outright utter lie.

The 360 one doesn't recognise region coding and disks will always work on region free players.
To all intents and purposes that makes it region free regardless of any stable door closing.

This simply isn't true and has never been true.
Remind people Microsoft support HD-DVD!

Are they "Outsourced bastards" too?
I doubt anyone is going to murder an artist in order to legally pirate, assuming that's your point I don't get the reference.
But ok, how about "Till death but a minimum of 50 years"?
