And whatever your tastes in music are: Rock, Rap, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Latin, New Age, Folk, Inspirational, R&B, Reggae, Electronic, Classical or something in between
Has anyone checked to see if Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony is available? The first movement should cost a little over $0.02 per minute.
You are absolutely nuts. According to the American Religious Identification Survey, a whopping 4% of Oregonians are Mormon, compared to 21% who answered "No religion."
But Oregon is one of the most liberal (not to be confused with libertarian) states in the union. Even if this were a good idea, Oregon would not be the place to try it.
The varieties of musical styles explode. They increase faster than we can name them, so a musical Dewey Decimal System is applied to each work to aid in categorizing it.
There are already more musical styles than we could possibly name.
For a small fee, the producers of your favorite musician will tweak her performance to exquisitely match the acoustics of your living room.
It would have to be a very small fee, as there is no reason this shouldn't be done by the playback equipment (it already is, but is still expensive).
To a certain extent this is true. I love music and movies and want to buy cds and dvds, but not with the restrictions imposed by the DMCA and SSSCA.
But even if I didn't care about that, these controls would not be irrelevant. Remember that the SSSCA would cripple all sorts of computing devices even when they're not being used to rip and burn.
True, but "if there's no O'Reilly book, then it's not for geeks" doesn't imply "if it's not for geeks, then there's no O'Reilly book", to paraphrase the original statements.

I'm pretty sure Philips doesn't actually own their record label anymore. They sold it to PolyGram.
VB isn't fit for ANYONE, especially not geeks.
