The SAME people that download the latest singles are the ones who go buy the bands stuff. "has there EVER been anytime when musical artists haven't been huge stars?" Sure Wrong again.

"Unless you want to catalog the entire store's selection and have it at a listening station, you're not going to know what you're buying." cdnow.com? Unless you listen to the same crap thats on MTV all the time, the CD's you check out won't always have samples (many of them don't). Lots of unknown bands are on there with no samples whatsoever. and I never said anything about because all people are doing it its not illegal, I'm just arguing that the mild cases SHOULD NOT BE ILLEGAL. If I want to download a song off a CD my friend has, there's no reason I can't. I don't drive down sales, I don't distribute it to the masses, and I'm not going to pay for it. Well hey maybe I'm wrong but I will never support a band thats against sharing their music. Obviously they don't give a damn about their fans and are in it for the money and I'm not the SUCKER to buy it all.
One thing I've been thinking about when I see how they're trying to crush 'net music is that it seems they're trying to avoid competition. It's a proven fact that anything thats pooped onto MTV and the airwaves is bought in massive quantities (limp bizkit, korn, bsb, britney, all have the same ad company... all of which are all over MTV and suddenly popular.. hmm). It just seems to me that the big bands and companies realize people on the internet don't eat music thats shoved down their throat because we don't have to, and won't. bah.. Underground bands are better anyways.. www.dentmachine.com www.deroot.com......... don't buy the music.. no matter how much you love the backsync girls.. refuse and resist
If you owned a resturant and people kept stealing some drinks (yet always paying for food) and you were making more and more money, would you arrest them when you're still making money off of them?
When is the last time you bought a CD that you didn't what any of it sounded like?
Unless you want to catalog the entire store's selection and have it at a listening station (3 stations here at our local shop, for 84759248 different cd's), you're not going to know what you're buying. Unless you want to hunt down their website (most older bands don't have one) and see if they actually post audio worth listening to (above 128kbps 44hz), then you still don't know what you're buying (except the record company CEO's new Porsche Boxster or Z3).
Your thinking that the music industry (or any industry couldn't survive this), has there EVER been anytime when musical artists haven't been huge stars? Since classical composers were around (they played for the Kings and got wined and dined) they have been the biggest stars. Don't kid yourself saying that it couldn't survive. You'll never kill music. Rip it off until doomsday and there's always people that will still buy the cd/shirt/home video/posters/etc. and support the artists they love.
No matter. Start up your local sound editing program and have it set to record wave output. Hit record then play. then encode the data to your favorite format. Even if it is worked to where it won't be able to be recorded that way, just use RCA output to a DAT or CD-R standalone or anything and record from that back into the computer. Audio is Audio... Anyform can be converted to any other form... it just might get messy
I overclock my computer for the fact that I can't stand having something I own not working its hardest. Same with my car. I replace its stock parts to make it run better (Grand Am SE). Not because I'm broke (I'm not, but I'm not rich either). Its just when I shop I see this -> AMD Duron 700 (950 mhz if I tweak it), Celeron 366 (sweet mother of god overclockable and cheap).... etc.
Why settle for what you paid for?
Its like installing (insert linux dist here) and keeping the user settings that come with it. TWEAK PEOPLE TWEAK!!
You just take the battery out and put it back in. I've done this a couple times getting my Pentium III 550 up past 616 mhz (5.5 x 112 fsb). It immediately works again after you put it back in.
Don't Worry! It'll get worse!

I'm worried about this only in the future tense. As of now I can pull the plug from my modem. In the future, I think there are going to be more of these internal secrets, possibly even requiring or quiet dialing/accessing the site to send and receive information. Either way, the people that bought the product bought the product, not the advertisements, nor were they warned. I would be very irritated.
some people aren't built to give that much. I know when I'm to the point where I can write stuff it's all going to be open source.... problem #1: I dunno how to program.. problem #2: see problem number one --------------------------

It would be good to learn the tricks of the trade. Anything else is uncivilized or something..
They're trying to brainwash us.. I bet turner and gates are behind this crap!
Still, there's always the problem of the jackass who buys all of them and sets up his FTP with it for free.
The system would depend on trust that the purchaser wouldn't distribute. Trusting human nature.......
Maybe a possible way to do this would be have banner ads on top of your page to make up for the piracy. Maybe not?
hell I just want to get my say in before I have to go to work... hehe
If it was for the fans, you wouldn't have to scan it. $.02

Yeah. Makes sense to me. Everyone knows we're all Carmack's inside.... just tell that top my damn car!

Yup. programmable. very programmable.
