    I personaly think that the open source movement will never die(as long as their are lazy people and there are non lazy programmers), but it might lose steam someday. Perhaps it will become the norm for you to write your thesis (if your writing a program or OS ) and then GPL it.

    I think that would be a great way to further the movement.


    Does this already happen?

    I am ditching it.

    I am not making archives of it, I am simply using my right to download the same said material.

    Show me that I am not the common napster user.

    Its not possible to prove my side, in america you prove guilty, therefore you prove that I am (and all other napaster users) breaking the way.


    No I dont expect them to stand up and say "hey I broke the law", then again I dont expect anyone to even think they did.

    Most of the leachers probley own the right to download said music, prove otherwise.

    What he/she is saying is that he would like people to see either way the artist is being ripped off, just one way you dont fund the recording industry. Why should I have to fund them to record someone talking? How do they know how I will use the tape? And think again if you think an artist gets anymoney from that, and if they do that they wouldnt starve from it.

    First off I use napster.
    Second I own hundreds of records and tapes.
    Third I own two times as many cds.
    I dont have time to encode the record or tapes.
    I use napster.
    Why?
    Because I have already bought the right to listen to it. It doesnt matter where or from what, acording to fair use, I can do this.
    I do care about music, I make music, I also think that someone might hear my music now because I can distribute it via napster, mp3.com, ect.



    I am one of the thousands of people that have huge numbers of CD's, LP's, and cassettes.
    I am converting all my music into high quality mp3 (lame vbr1 with a max bitrate of 320 and a low of 160) format. I am ditiching the discs, the records and tapes. I am the typical napster/mp3 user. I am not the typical napster/mp3 user as put forth by the media that IS OWNED by the companys that are feeling ripped off (which they shouldnt be to the extent they are). Do I still buy the cds? Yes I do. Do I even listen to them in the media I buy them on anymore? No I dont, I rip them and encode them and I NEVER use the cds again. They are in perfect condition as a result. I do apreciate the music and the artists that create it ( I am an artist ).

    You are a bit brainwashed by the media as far as the common napster user, as I am a common napster user.

    Show me somewhere else that says otherwise that found this out by asking each user, or ISNT owned by at least one (or is part of a joint corp of said company) company suing napster.


    And their is no reason to get angry and cuss about the media bias that isnt true.

    I thinks its going to be the norm. Everyone will be subversive criminals with something to be held over their head, everyone will become a criminal because EVERYTHING will be against the law. We can fight it, but unless we actually fight it (read: protest) we are fucked. This is going to happen more and more, and the punishments will get harder and harder.
