I mean they already blame piracy for the recession, so who cares? Lets actually give them a reason to blame it on piracy! Lets directly take their profits away. "Either way they'll be portrayed as victims and filesharers online as the ones who killed a benevolent organization. Either way, they win."
They just declared war on us!!! Does it matter? In a war only one side can survive. The side which survives usually writes the history books, not the loser.
"Putting copyrighted materials on Kazaa is no different than firing up a burner and setting up at a street corner selling or even giving away copies except that your production costs are practically $0 with Zazaa."
Copying and then selling is illegal, its profiting, and it means direct RIAA profits were lost.
Giving away stuff for free means no profits were lost, so nothing was stolen, just alot of sharing and copying.
There is a legal way around this though, if you are afraid of breaking the law, just sell used CDs.
Its legal to re-sell cds, and guess what, unlike on the P2P networks, you actually ARE taking direct profits from the RIAA. People who pay you $5 would have likely paid $10, you directly stole from the RIAA LEGALLY.
This is what I advise everyone to do. Steal direct profits from the RIAA, dont share music, steal!
The RIAA wont allow you to make a site that doesnt support their artists. If you get too profitable or if you become too popular they sue you, they will find any excuse to do so.
Ask Mp3.com.
But I like your Idea, you should also allow people to buy used CDs from popular RIAA bands to keep people from buying new CDs.
You should check out the site http://downhillbattle.org/ and see what the RIAA is doing. They are only making the revolution more organized and more powerful. The more people they sue, the more who will join the boycott, the more hated the RIAA will become.
And for them to DARE use the "scare and awe" crap, thats like declaring we are all terrorists!
"Buy our music or else you are supporting terrorism!"
Since they have declared war on us with this scare and awe bullshit, this only will speed up their own demise. There was once a time when the RIAA had a chance to actually take their piece of the pie and keep some market share by selling music to consumers embracing the new technology, but the RIAA has totally fucked it up and ruined their chances of actually surviving this.
So here is what will happen, the RIAA meaning record companies will cease to exist. I dont know how they figure they can sue people into buying music, or scare people into buying music, all this will do is make us boycott. I was not boycotting the RIAA until they started doing this, now I will never buy another RIAA CD. I will buy used CDs from ebay, I will pirate, I will do whatever it takes to keep from ever supporting the big record companies again.
I will support small record companies. I see it like this, why support someone who wants to sue me? Why should I support someone who is damaging the music industry for the musicians as well as the consumer?
Are you some kinda super troll who has a degree in trollogy or something? You come here making the most ridiculous posts I've ever seen, you seem more intelligent than this, why dont you use your intelligence at least when you make these posts?
If you are going to troll, at least troll in an intelligent manner so that I have something to respond to and debate with, this post you just made was a waste of your time. Let me guess, I've somehow emotionally insulted you and now you are going to follow me around and make personal insults because you were hurt by some slashdot post?
Get a Job please, a real one, I dont mean your job as slashdot troll.
"WINE is bad because it will discourage people from writing native applications. "
Considering no one writes native applications and never will, why does it matter if we discourage people who will never write native applications unless forced to?
We must force them to, by profiting off Linux and building an economy around it.
Its a good plan, and I'm glad they are competition for CodeWeavers, I dont like CodeWeavers, they are a very greedy destructive company and they remind me alot of SCO in how they act sometimes.
If companies are willing to pay for WineX, Transgaming should profit off this, it will also help me get more games considering I'm a subscriber.
Yes people, the socialist HanzoSan supports capitalist transgaming! I also support slashdot and other companies.
Your "homeland" strawman is enough to make me puke. Their "homeland" is the United States of America
Yes of course, but when they face racism in the USA they have absolutely no support. The Asians have support from other countries, I mean they can in theory go back home to Asia. PuertoRicans can in theory go back to PuertoRico, Mexicans can go back to Mexico. What does a Black person say to a white person who tells them "get out of my town!" or "get out of my country!"?
Believe me, the Native Americans face the same thing, I mean they were forced onto small reservations in the same way Blacks were forced into little segregated ghettos, and just like Chinese were forced into China town.
However there is a huge difference between Chinatown, and Harlem. The Chinese profit off their culture, you buy their Chinese food, you learn their martial arts, they did a very good job profiting and benefiting from their culture.
How about Blacks? They dont get credit for anything at all, Mexicans get robbed too by TacoBell and other places with racist ads like "Run for the boarder!"
The republican party is corrupt, they arent conservative, they spend too much money, so I dont see Libertarians voting for Bush, I also dont see free market liberals voting for Bush when you look at the current economy.
Religious republicans and social conservatives may vote for Bush.
This reeks of so much bullshit that maggots are growing in the air. How dare you assume that every Asian family or even a considerable portion even have ties to the "old country".
Most do, not all but most. The Asians who go to most of the ivy league schools usually have families that are big and supportive.
I'll bet there are tonnes and tonnes of gold boulion for Chinese immigrants to exploit from their rich uncles in Red China in case they can't make it in the real world.
Yes there are poor Asians, we are talking about the Asians on the ivy league college campuses, not the failures.
Furthermore, you're full of utter crap by assuming that different Asian ethnicities don't get along. Ever heard of Cambodians slaughtering Vietnamese ethnics during the Khumer Rouge reign? Hispanics have a homeland in North, Central and South America. It's called their country of origin you retarded mongoloid.
Hispanics are a mixed race, their country of origin is America, but their history points out the fact that their race has origins also from Europe and Africa. Hispanics are basically native american, spanish, and african.
They have unique cultures which they're proud of. Anti-communist Cubans are a perfect example of this. Ever heard of Puerto Rican pride, you imbicile?
Go to new york, yes there are plenty of puertoricans, but can you say this is their original culture? No its not, its been modified by the spanish. They dont speak their original language, they speak spanish. Puertorican culture is no different than hatian or jamaican culture, in that they speak a language taught to them through slavery and developed a culture based on the influence of others.
The point I'm trying to make is, these people do not have their own country. Puertorico and Jamaica are not countries.
You claim to be so culturally aware and you go say that Blacks do not have their own culture? You condescending sack of shit. And you claim that Native Americans do not have a unique culture or homeland?
There are MANY different races and cultures of "Black", there is no unified "Black" culture just like there is no unified "White" culture. The problem here is the fact that if you ask a Black person what tribe they came from they cannot trace back.
Well shit, then they have no need for those reservations and pueblos. Let's broker them out to ranchers. Let's suppose I'm 25%Russian, 25% Chinese, 25% Irish and 25% Nigerian. Am I therefore some useless slag without a definite "homeland"? You're a fucking idiot.
If all of your homelands were taken from each of your groups, you cannot claim to have one. Native Americans and Blacks in specific were robbed of their homeland.
Your quick-fix "solutions" of pumping federal tax dollars into "ghettos" which will magically fix any cultural problems is a highly naive assumption.
No, I said you need jobs to fix the cultural problem. Its very difficult to convince a poor person that its cool to go to school if they dont see any educated workers in their community who have done it.
If Jesse Jackson and his other coherts actually did something productive like promote cultural productivity and collaboration, there'd be no problems because a stronger community would exist.
That is going to be very difficult, you see it takes economic development before you can fix culture. That is what I'm saying. You must find ways to bring businesses to these communities. Once you bring the businesses then its only a matter of convincing the kids in the community to work there. I think these kids can be convinced easily through MTV, rap music, and other methods of communication.
They wont be convinced by Jesse Jackson, we need Snoop Dogg, Russell Simmons, and others to physically go to these communities and get involved.
Your idiotic assumption that education==inginiuity==wealth is an ignorant one that offends me to no end. Nobo
You dont now a damn thing about me Mr. Frederique, please stop assuming things.
Tell me, HanzoSan. How much do you really interact with "the community"?
I've done more for the community than you could believe, I've been doing it since highschool. I'm not going to point out exactly what I have done, but I've done ALOT.
I plan to dedicate my life to improving society, its my #1 mission and goal in life. You go ahead and assume stuff, I guess thats your mission in life, to tell other people what they shouldnt do.
If you're out to improve the world, as you say, then why is it that you're demanding that everybody else be required to pay for it? Do it yourself, if you believe in that so strongly.
My work is not free first of all, second you arent paying a penny, when I take out a loan I'm paying for it. Third, if you lower college fees and tuition then there would be no need for financial aid, everyone would be able to pay for college right?
In order to join the peacecorps I need a college degree, you will pay for that degree you cheap bastard.
Oh and you will pay for my loans too because if I join the peacecorps all my loans and debts will be paid and I will owe absolutely nothing.
"Then explain why Asian immigrants, who come to this country with NOTHING, coming from NOTHING, who have been discriminated against as much as any other group, manage to become successful in America. So successful, in fact, that they are considered overrepresented by affirmative action standards."
Culture. Thats what it all comes down to. I grew up poor in a ghetto, and I'm not a criminal. It takes a mixture of intelligence and culture. You need one of the two, culture meaning it is cool to be a nerd, and intelligence meaning the ability to be a nerd if its socially acceptable.
Poverty and social breakdown are related, but you have the arrow backwards. Social breakdown causes poverty, not the other way around.
Social breakdown is not the result of poverty, its the result of lost culture. Asians in Asia werent slaves, they came here knowing what to expect, they came here on a mission. Hispanics however were slaughtered, forced to learn English, enslaved, etc etc, same with Blacks and Native Americans, so this explains why the Asians are successful. Asians still have their language, their culture, and they can get support from China, Japan, or whatever because unlike South America, the Native Americans and the Blacks, they still own their homeland.
Its not a matter of poverty, poor white Irish came here and do you know why they survived? They had Irish culture, and this brought them together. Blacks have no culture, no language, nothing to bring them togetner. Hispanics have the language but believe me, puertoricans and dominicans do not get along, just like mexicans dont get along with the spanish from spain. The damage to their cultures was done originally by the spanish who destroyed the culture, forced them to speak spanish, and erased their history leaving them with nothing to be proud of.
Same thing with the Native Americans, just destroyed all the tribes, and leave them with casinos, and you expect them to somehow do well?
Alot of the problem are simple cause and effect.
Coulter is famous for exaggerating to make her point. As a conservative, I still no better than to treat what she writes as straight fact. (On the other hand, certain "liberals" really were on Moscow's payroll, but I digress.)
Ann Coulter is a fool.
Pure Horses---! Racism is not the reason for poverty, just a convenient excuse.
If there were jobs, perhaps they could be convinced to get an education, perhaps things could change, but its not like businesses are rushing to south central.
". See above. The reason why is because crime is bad for business. "
Funny, in new york, crime was running wild with the mafia taking over back in the 1920s and businesses still operated. Crime is bad for business, thats why its the cities job to put the majority of the police where the crime is highest and then bring businesses, over time the crime rate will fall as jobs are created.
Wherever you are, the majority of the people are fine. It's a powerful minority of the people there that are criminals and the law abiding people are scared.
Bring the police, thats what police are for, we have been in this situation before with the italian mafia, and the outlaws of the wild west, in both these situations it took a massive government crackdown and police to take out the criminals and then it took businesses expanding in the area to change the community.
You call 911 in a rich neighborhood, the cops come right away. You call 911 in the ghetto, they put you on hold. Crack down on crime, close the crackhouses, send the message that even minor crimes won't be tolerated, then you will improve life for the vast majority of people in the area and business will return. That's how Giuliani cleaned up New York. That's why Times Square is a much nicer place now than 20 years ago.
I agree with you 100% on this. We should crackdown on crime, but this wont happen if there is no powerful people there t
Why are our inner cities decaying? Because life in the ghetto is f---ed up! When your mama is 15 years older than you and you don't know who your daddy is and half the neighborhood is on welfare and the drug dealers are role models, then you life is probably going to be f---ed up.
That is famous excuse #1.
There are plenty of poor neighborhoods in America, but not everyone of them turns into South Central.
Not every poor neighborhood has the history of south central.
Your logic amazes me. If a "conservative" becomes a demogogue, then that's because all conservatives are nazis deep down inside. If a "liberal" becomes a demagogue, then it's because the conservatives left the people vulnerable to demagogues. Give me a break.
You have Ann Coulter calling liberals communists, its no different than calling conservatives nazis.
I mean both of these groups do seem to borrow ideas from these two groups.
For that matter, Mohammed Atta wasn't dirt poor either. He was an architect who was wealthy enough to study abroad to get his masters in Germany.
Mohammed Atta wasnt dirt poor, but he also was the leader of the whole operation, the others were poor kids picked up off the street and told to do it for islam. Its easy to brainwash kids and most of these hijackers were college aged kids.
Why are our inner cities decaying?
Because racists refuse to bring their businesses to the inner cities. Racist still exists, inner cities dont have any jobs so they became ghettos, these same areas were booming with growth at one time, you must accept the fact that alot of business owners are racist and refuse to set up shop in south central, with no businesses in south central theres no jobs in south central, with no jobs in south central well the drug dealers fill the void and get kids to work for them.
Lets also understand that republicans want to under-fund the public school system, so with no decent schools its going to take a genius to survive in south central. Yes you can do it if you have decent parents who tell you to stay in school instead of telling you to be a man and make money.
Its just going to be difficult living there, its not impossible to come from south central and end up at Yale, people have done it and I respect those people more than people who grow up in safe suburban neighborhoods and by default go to college.

Dont make it a site thats client/server based, it should be a P2P application I think. Make it distributed so its harder for the RIAA to sue you.
Allow people to purchase music through it, also allow people to sell used RIAA music through amazon.com or ebay.
"Putting copyrighted materials on Kazaa is no different than firing up a burner and setting up at a street corner selling or even giving away copies except that your production costs are practically $0 with Zazaa."

Thats not what I'm talking about. I'm asking when did the Nazi's actually implement socialism.
Calling yourself socialist means absolutely nothing, thats like the USA calling itself democracy, it doesnt mean it actually is.
We are a republic, and germany was FAR FAR from socialist.
What the hell? Nazis were facists!
Show me proof they were socialists.
"When Byrd was chatting about "white niggers" on national television, the Dems did *nothing*."
Alot of ignorant people use the word wigger and arent generally racist, just ignorant. What trent lott said was clearly racist.
By the way, I'm centerist, I'm a moderate so telling me what I already know does not change anything.
Nazi Germany was more like the republican party. I dont know how you figure Nazi's were socialist.
Nazi's wanted a police state, just like Mr.Bush
