This document does seem to be pretty good, but documents like this really need to be peer reviewed. Personally, I think a document like this would be better as a wiki than a pdf.

Replacing my addition with this argument and substitute book for code. A book is certainly art, but it doesn't produce an 'output'. Code can be printed into a book.
For somone that's illiterate, a book may not be art, but a painting could be.
The appreciation of code is different than appreciation of a book just as the appreciation of a book is different than the appreciation of a painting. For someone who has an appreciation for the code, code is art.

>>A painting is art, a paintbrush is not.
Bad analogy, I think. What about a 20' high paint bursh? What about one so small that it only has 10 hairs in it? Both of these are examples of art. Someone would need to put a lot of creativity and time into each.
Art is everwhere and a blanket statement like yours will never be accurate.
Historic examples of bands that did very well while allowing fans to tape and trade their stuff are the Grateful Dead, Phish, and Dave Matthews Band.
By allowing taping, fans will share your music legally with each other. If your music is good enough that people actually enjoy it, then those people who received a copy of one of your shows will pay to see you live and possibly buy a CD at the same time.
Code Complete and Rapid Development are the kinds of books I find most useful. I don't like any books that are specific to a language. These two are fantastic resources for learning how to program better, not how to write in a particular language.
>>there needs to be some form of payment for commercial internet radio stations to some degree. Otherwise this would give the internet radio stations and advantage over the normal stations
And how's that? I can't get internet radio in my car. I only listen to the radio at home for very specific programs (prairie home companion, car talk...).
I use internet radio when I'm buried in a building with bad reception and I have something specific I want to listen to (9/11 coverage) or when I am looking for a very specific genre.
Do air-wave radio stations track the number of listeners at any particular time? Not that I know of.
During Diane Rehm's show yesterday, the riaa said they would go lower on licensing costs if they 'liked' the radio station. Because of that comment, I now feel the riaa wants these high music tariffs so they can use them as payola. If you play music they like, they drop your costs (possibly to 0), but if they don't, you pay the way-to-much amount and are forced out of business.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander....if internet radio must pay fees, they must be equal to those paid my commercial stations _without_ enronaccounting (formerly known as payola).

While my site (db.etree.org) is not (all) open source, I have mentored a student (hey Eric) while he developed code now used on my site.
His school assignment was designing and implementing something from start to finish. He asked to work on top of the work (adding new code) I had done as his project. I hooked him up with a shell and CVS and we had quite a few phone conversations where (I hope) I taught him quite a bit.
We both benefited from the relationship in the end. Eric contacted me directly with a plan to enhance my site. This method worked very well for us...that is, someone looking for experience came up with a plan for an existing project and asked to do itand, in return, I mentored him.

Live acts have been offering soundboard patches for years. The Grateful Dead being the most famous.
http://db.etree.org/shncirc/ has just some of the bands and their shows that are in circulation and http://btat.wagnerone.com/ has a list of just bands that allow taping.
While some of the bands do not allow sbd patches, many do. Those that don't allow sbds do allow audience recordings.
2. The md5s are not checked against a central database. They are packaged into a text file that is distributed with a file set. Furthur will not allow you to share a file set until all the files check out through md5.
3. The central server has information about what artists are ok to trade across the network. This does not prevent someone from creating a new client that ignores the central server and allows non-taper friendly bands, but it does limit liability of the central server.
Some members of the etree server team have been involved in the development of furthur since the beginning (thanks Mike!) so, as another person asked, yes, etree has heard of it.
etree will continue to be ftp centric but Furthur is the first p2p app that meets the requirements for etree, that is: free as in speach and beer, no banner ads, no money changes hands anywhere.

>>Content owners, for example, can start charging consumers every time their digital content is re-distributed within the home, or viewed several times during a certain number of days specified by them.

>>It is effectively telling me what I'm allowed to do inside my own house!
This has been a battle cry for pro-recreational drug use for a long time, yet it's still illegal.
On a more on-topic note....I think this may be an attempt to prevent copying of digital content...not viewing.
Who cares if you pick up your dvd and take it into the bedroom? I think what they really care about is if you transmit a dvd movie/whatever strait to your computer.
Tenacious D allows taping of their shows so spreading their live music, in any medium, as long as no money changes hands, is legal.
A list of some of Tenacious D shows in ciruclation is here.
Don't assume that just becuase a band exists means they don't allow their music to be traded. In addition, trading legally recorded shows IS supporting the band as it helps spread the tunes to listeners that may have never heard the band before.
Find a way to use your CS skills to further your hobbies. This will give you the chance to apply your skill set to something you already do.

Why should software developers be treated differently than architects and engineers?
Well, programming is different than construction because in construction, when you flush the toilet, the front door doesn't fall off.
