What are they going to do, outlaw FTPing? There's no way they can stop it, and they're grasping at straws, pulling ominous-sounding stuff out of their asses. It's funny, really.
I heard the motivation is to not get sued. You know, say Lars or someone else who has more money than God found out that my company was allowing mp3s to be stored on their machines... They could get sued (in theory... a very far-out, unrealistic theory...)! *gasp*
They obviously did not take the mounds of legal mp3s out there into consideration. Nevermind the fact that I own 99% of the songs that I had in mp3 format at work, and just found the format more convenient than lugging CDs to work every day. Poo.
I would use something like this to give kudos to my favorite artists. If this tip jar idea is properly implemented, MP3 could still revolutionize the way music is distributed, and the artists would still get paid. And Lars might just shut the hell up.:)
On a somewhat unrelated note, MP3s have been outlawed at my company. They're doing company-wide scans and are threatening some pretty ugly repurcussions if someone is caught with MP3s on their hard drive.
I had to blow away a gig of them yesterday... *sigh* Anyone else experiencing anything similar, as a result of the Napster debacle?

Remember who you're dealing with, Sony. Will hack holes in any "firewall" you put up so big you can drive a bus through them. Losers.
Heh-heh-heh-heh.... That's ingenious. Thanks!!
