... Resulting in network providers constantly receiving calls from phone users who couldn't play any music after only two days of ownership as the authorisation server was being hammered / poor network service, and thousands of consumers simply stopping the direct debits.
What can they do? "Urrr... You're contractually obliged for 24 months to pay us £25 per month for the service." "Oh, right. You're contractually obliged to provide the service I pay for. QED, bitch."
Unless you're planning on just showing a DVD case to your subscribers, you'll need to buy a projector, a sound system, provide amenities in line with H&S regs, cleaning, have regular safety inspections for emergency evacuation, fire safety etc.
Spotify need to buy server hardware, networking kit, bandwidth (they need upstream as much as you need downstream, remember), they need to pay staff etc.
I think for EUR9 per month, I'm getting a pretty god damn sweet deal. And I'm the worst offender for listening to the same track over and over again; If the songs I listened to in the past week were on vinyl, I'd have one side worn flat, the other side like it had just been pressed. I'll be honest, though; I'm happy to spend EUR9 per month to listen to Dream Theatre over and over and over again.
That's how it's served at the bar. However, the receptacle it's collected in prior to bottling holds a pint of liquid, and can usually be found on the end of a catheter.
I've been asked by a store security guard to remove my motorcycle helmet before, A Caberg Justissimo It should be noted that I always lift the chin guard and sun visor so my whole face is revealed; It saves me having to carry the helmet around the store while I shop. This guard didn't like my response of "You can see my face. Is there another reason for me to remove my helmet?" and asked me to leave. So I turned around and walked out, having bought nothing.
The best part: At least three other bikers who were waiting in a checkout line not too far away (having spotted me walk in) promptly upturned their lids (full of the snacks and bottles of water they were buying) and walked out too.
Some folk just get off on giving other a hard time. It's satisfying when shit doesn't go their way.
What I can get, however, is Spotify, and I am more than happy to pay â9 per month for the service. It's all about value to the customer, to me. â9 this month has saved me many hundreds of euros, as I've not had to go out and buy the back catalogue of: Saxon, Dream Theatre, Sigur Ros, Rage Against The Machine, Nine Inch Nails*, and a few other bands who I thought I'd "check out."
* - I already own the NIN back catalogue; The service is just so good that it saves me time to listen to it on Spotify.
Let's say a busker gets £2 every 15 minutes. If he worked 8 - 4 like I do, 5 days a week, that's £1280 a month tax free (like hell they file tax returns).
Sorry, I've already got a patent on "A method of answering a question you have yourself posed in order to bring about a sense of smug self satisfaction."
Thanks for cleaning out all of those viruses, my hard drive was so slow! Something weird happaned, though. LimeWire disappeared before I got it back. It doesn't matter, I've put it back on again.
I'm taking my Diamond 2 to Kinder Scout in October. The great benefit of the Peaks is that as soon as I am anywhere away from a spot height, I have *zero* signal strength on any network.
Saying that, though, I can emulate the situation just by turning on Flight Mode!:D

Wake me up when I can buy a prehistoric shark with a frikkin' slingshot.
You need to get your priorities straight, son.
You should be more concerned about those fuggin' snakes...
Telecom companies are not going to upgrade their infrastructure just because the music industry wants DRM everywhere.
Quite right. What we'll get is QoS to ensure that DRM traffic gets priority.

I have it in every car I drive.
Fully automated front-view distance estimation with warning system for when I am too close, and a reactive system to being the car to a halt in an emergency. It even has the ability to activate the hazard lights when appropriate

I'm a Tech for a primary school. More qualifications to come, so I can shift up the ladder.

Perhaps they should make that the motto of the local Accident and Emergency department.
Don't be an arse, silko. They'll through the book at you.
Have you seen the size of the Republic?! That could really hurt! Then again, they're philosophers. They probably throw like Thespians.

I don't care how much you pay for Pandora; We can't get it in the EU. See http://www.pandora.com/restricted

That's more than my net pay.
No, simply that your data may or may not be there until you actually go to check it.
Sort of like using NT Backup.
Uh oh, infinite regression alert!
I've got one! Kill everyone in the whole world!
MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa........

Pigeon poo will strip the paint from your car.
God knows what effect it would have on soil in large enough quantity.

Picture a combination of 50 Cent and Gordon Brown reading out a 419 email.

Magician would be epic, if done well.
Still, at least the hobbits only had two breakfasts per day in the film.
