I highly think it's time laws are made to correct the use of FUD through lawsuits. Maybe a quota as to the number of lawsuits that can be filed per year by an organization? With provisions that this quota be dismissed in rare cases of course.
Now if this statement is correct "An AACS licensed drive shall retain in non-volatile storage, the most recent Host Revocation List (HRL) data which it encounters and has verified."
So obviously there is an set ammount of memory for this, anyone know just how much this is on common consumer drives?
Basically my marijuana induced thought is... How long before that memory gets full?
And then what happens?
Well I hope I made a diffrence, I contacted my local congressional representitive... Bill Sali! I don't know how much good this will do... After all he did try to outlaw gravity... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-ne ws/1766565/posts
This is just my 99 cents, but I feel that downloading has had a very negligble impact on sales of physical music mediums (as to what actually is causing the decline in sales, I say it's inferior offerings by the major lables). I myself know many many computer users, and aside from the few odd ducks. Most of their music collection is in store bought CD's.
Hell even myself, a very avid computer user, owns more plastic than illegal bits. It's mostly a vast collection of hi fidelity copies on my computer with the odd 128kbps file here and there. I have downloaded thousands of tracks over the years, but if there is genuine worth, I buy the disc simple as that. I think alot of people are like me, atleast the people I know. You can't surpass the actual CD with free poor quality tracks.
PS. this whole debacle has left me with a profound respect for lables like Epitaph/Hellcat. Good music = Sales!
