It would seem to me that one of those infrared cameras would be perfect here. Although they can pick up heat through walls, I don't know how they would do with the massive amounts of concrete and steel that must be at the site.
Can anyone think of a reason why an infrared camera wouldn't work?
My comment to the RIAA would have to be this: I want to give you money. I don't want to be taking directly from the artist./Why/ will you not come up with a way to let me give you my money? Why will you instead sit in the corner with your fingers in your ears screaming piracy?
I agree. I love music and I am quite willing to pay for it. But its time to rethink the way music is sold and distributed.
I think it would be great if there was some kind of system where there was some standard for downloading & buying music via the internet. Imagine a system where you fire up your music browser and it lets you search for and download any songs or full albums you want for just 1 cent per song. You might have an account with $50 in it and everytime you listen to a song it debits the account. After listening to a song 10 times, you might pay a higher rate like a nickel everytime you listen to it, or you could opt to buy the song for a dime - and not have to pay for it anymore. Whole albums could have "bulk" rates; like a quarter. There would be many details to figure out, but I think you get the idea. I would love to be able to pay a dollar, download 100 songs from 100 different bands and then discover maybe 5 bands that I really like and proceed to buy their albums to listen to off my harddrive.
