I mean imagine all the illegal files traded on the internet, and the kiddie porn, its just all over the place, lets not forget all the even criminals who are robbing the kiddie porn industry of their money by sharing the kiddie porn around, or the warez traders who now have enough money to eat 3 meals a day because they dont spend $500 on every software upgrade microsoft decides to release.
Lately lets thank the Al Gore for creating the internet, we all know the democrats love piracy.
He wont release his music on Mp3.com, or sell his mp3s via a website.
If he were so smart he'd release some mp3s to napster with links to his site in them, and people wouldd go buy his cds if they like it, or buy his mp3s and burn them.
Quality, release low quality mp3s, and sell high quality versions.
There are more important things in life, than getting laid as many times as you can before you die lol.
I actually want a serious relationship, with a girl I love and who loves me.
You can have your sluts and one night stands.You can even marry a girl whos really good in bed, but hey if she justs wants whats in your wallet, blame yourself for being so shallow.
People in expensive areas have enough money to put their kids in private schools, buy their kids books and computers etc.
The cost of living is high everwhere so lets not even go there, however the cost of education is too great for the average working class parent, they cannot afford private school, they cannot afford tutors, they cannot afford the things needed to help a kid do well in a bad school.
However, a rich person with a kid in a bad school can easily afford on their own to educate their kids, even take them out of public school.
It makes no sense for the few upper class families in the suburbs to get the best public AND private schools while everyonne in the city gets what? Cheap beat up old schools, knowing the people in the city have a cost of living thats just as high, because its sometimes more expensive to live in the city than in the suburbs.
Per student numbers such as those do not work, because its not evenly distributed money.
Kids in richer areas, get the majority of the money because they pay more taxes. Raising the federal budget helps the people who arent living in rich communities or suburbs.
Have you ever went to new york or some city and looked at the schools there? They are crappy as hell. The solution is to raise the federal budget, or change the method of distribution so that its perfectly even to all schools.
Per student does not work for schools, it does however work for the military because the military protects all cities and neighborhoods, even yours.
Learning how to learn doesnt happen in college, This happens usually in highschool when you either do well in their style of teaching or you teach yourself.
Competition is not as good as Cooperation.
There is no such thing as a smartest person of the world, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, each person is a genius in some areas and just damn slow in others. There are of course people who are well rounded, but those people usually major in liberal arts and become teachers who then try to teach students to be well rounded.
If you actually want to learn stuff, or if you plan to have children, those books will be VERY useful later on.
Lets assume you want to become a programmer, you can learn C and C++ in college, keep the book and use that book later when you need a refrence.
Lets say you have kids, and you took a class like say, discrete math in college, lets say your kids have an interest in math.
Well, you have the math books right there.
Books are always useful until we come to the day where digital paper and ebooks rule all, when we get to that point, expect bookster to be released and dominate the file sharing world. Free information for all.
This new paper, with electronic ink would mean one book could hold all your books. One piece of paper could be your news paper, magazine, even your favorite website. One peice of paper could have all your schoolwork on it.
SympodiumInteractive Lecture technology, This allows students to view the board, as well as move along at their own pace doing their own thing. This would allow a student to learn more due to the class not slowing them down. Its interactive so if a person wants
more detail about something they can get it.
Reason, Logic, Cause and effect.
This is something schools never teach and this is one of the most important things we must teach kids, as well as adults. Example
Paperless information allows better distribution. This is proven with the success of the world wide web, file sharing, etc.
What we need to do is get rid of chalk boards and use smartboards, get rid of traditional books and use ebooks, make the information free, produce digital paper so people can download an ebook into an actual book and read it, of course publishers wont like the file sharing community sharing books but its going to happen so get ready for free information and books for all once digital paper is released.
Now, lets have bush raise the school budget to 150 billion from the little tiny 20 billion that it is, (currently we spend 400 billion and rising per year on the military)
I dont see why schools need paper in this day and age, I dont know if ebooks are the answer, I actually would prefer the use of digital paper and smart boards
I dont support big labels but its big labels who make most of their money off CDs.
The other smaller indies make alot of money from the net and selling directly to their fans,
A viable alternative? Thats what Gnutella is trying to provide, but as long as the big record companies keep fighting people who try to build up alternatives it will never happen.
The day a company makes a p2p system, RIAA attacks it, they dont understand p2p companies want to make money too and eventually they would put in a system to allow artists to make money so they can make money.
If they make something thats information into a physical object, thats fair. I cannot copy it, so its now no longer information, it becomes a physical object.
But thats impossible, Music will always be copyable as long as its playable. Their efforts to try to turn music into a physical object is useless.
You tell me to get morals? I have morals, sharing music helps more people than making some CEO richer helps.
Why do I want to help a rich CEO buy a new mansion, when I can make millions of people smile and be happier in general, people who dont have a mansion, and who dont have much in life and who actually NEED this music.
No you never did, what music was on the radio? Oh yeah the music record companies want to make you buy not the music thats best.
What music videos do you see? britney spears and people selling on image.
Whats on MTV? All young musicians, you dont see old 60-70 year old classical music composers on MTV.
P2P allows a person to access the music of real musicians, not the musicians choosen by record companies because of their image and their ability to sell.
A car is not a thought, its physical, protons neutrons and electrons are actually physically there so you can say you own this set combination of atoms protons etc.
However a thought cannot be owned. Music is a thought, information is a collection of thoughts which produces and creates knowledge.
Knowledge should be shared for free to everyone. The whole purpose of living is to gather and then share knowledge. The only thing the brain does is gather, create, and share knowledge.
To tell a person they cannot share knowledge, is restricting your ability of expression. And for what? So a rich CEO can keep his business running?

He doesnt understand that mp3s have replaced CDs.
He wont release his music on Mp3.com, or sell his mp3s via a website.
If he were so smart he'd release some mp3s to napster with links to his site in them, and people wouldd go buy his cds if they like it, or buy his mp3s and burn them.
Quality, release low quality mp3s, and sell high quality versions.
Thats the question. How exactly do you know for sure.
Wouldnt it really suck if they ran a sting on some guy who had all the CDs sitting on a rack?
Put that in the newspaper!
Oh and as an artist myself, I want my music all over the net, theres no way i'm going to compete with britney spears without that.
By the way, as an artist, why not make your money selling mp3s? I dont understand why people think they have to sell CDs to compete with mp3s.
No they'd rather catch shawn downloading his mp3s off some file sharing network.
Stole what?
lets see, did they steal the copyright from the copyright holder? no.
Are they selling copied CDs on the black market? Most of them arent.
So unless you can prove they stole $$ or some tangible object, your whole statement is illogical.
nice try but we arent stupid, this is slashdot
yes they would, because the RIAA wants to control what you listen to.
not true
just name your song britney spears. let everyone download it and find out its not.

Grades have nothing to do with intelligence, it just means you were dedicated and worked hard as getting an A.

Most of the people who get laid alot, are also the least intelligent part of the human population.
I suggest you learn more, and find a nice girl, instead of just worrying about getting laid and having sex all the time.
Harvard always has the newest books.Consider the fact that most people who go to Harvard have much more money than you.
If you actually want to learn stuff, or if you plan to have children, those books will be VERY useful later on.

Why buy a laptop? Digital Paper can store and display your information at a fraction of the price.
Of course its good to have a laptop, but digital paper would be far more useful.
