No one is going to be able to just sit down and effectivly or securely run an enterprise DB. You're going to need either training or preferably real-world experience.
They could somehow link the results returned by a search to someplace online (Amazon, CD Now, their own store, etc..) where you could buy the CDs.
Another way would be to track a user's downloads and send out like a weekly e-mail with something to the effect of "You downloaded X, if you liked it, click here to buy. Here's some other people who you'd like too."
Actually, scratch that second idea, what better way for the RIAA to track down freeloaders? "Just because I downloaded the entire works of Britney Spears without buying the CD because it sounds like she was nekkid when she recorded them..." =)
Anyways, if option #1 was in place I'd have bought 4 CDs last night. Total CDs purchased by me in the past 48 hours, zero. I know the RIAA's math skills are limited, but I think even they can figure this one out.

Think CmdrTaco puts on some gold, then goes to night clubs and poses in the corner folding a wad of money?
If not, then he should. One can meet the most interesting people that way. =)
Coming up next hour: "The Internet, can it kill your children?"
Emperor Lieberman says it can!

Maybe we could all short MPPP tomorrow morning and then invest the gains from the trades into that "Tip the artist" website (who's url escapes me).
Of course, my market knowledge is lacking, MPPP could very well shoot through the roof tomorrow. Who can tell anymore?
How 'bout a PROFIT MODEL???

Maybe the troll-bots are trolling to learn from our reactions... Know your your enemy, eh?
Yes, but they can agree that this holds potential for profit, and in corperate-land profits are usually a good thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but IM software isn't exactly hauling in the $$ is it? Just my thoughts...
Because she's hot!!! =)
OK, so because /. readers dig computers and programming and that sort of thing they should ignore everything else. Got it.

I wish 0 emission vehicles has been around a few years ago, that way the Civics I drove during college and high school would've been beasts of cars.
