Now suppose a musician, a producer, a team of sound engineers, cover artists, a couple talent scouts, and the management to put them all together each contribute a little bit towards a great new album they expect you to pay for, but then you go and download it for free with LimeWire. How is that not theft, too?
Great... let me know if anyone ever makes a great new album again. I might just buy it.
So if this is essentially an advertisement for the single... why am I paying for it?
$1.99 for a 3 minute video?!?!?! (~$0.66/minute) At that rate, an average length DVD would cost about $69.30 to "buy" (license, whatever the term of the day is).
I'm far from tech-savvy... and this may have already been mentioned... but couldn't the p2p software programmers just do some sort of IP masking in the software? To hide the IP addresses from the users? Yes... there has to be a way to decode it to transfer files within the program, but if the **AA reverse engineers the encoding to get the actual IP's; Could the software owners slap a DMCA'ish lawsuit on em?
