For a long time I've been trying to figure out
what I thing about Napster.
However, I do believe that people should have the
right to sell what they have taken the time and
effot to create. I'd hate to see what would
happen to the video game industry, if piracy
becomes the dominant form of acquisition. Can
you say no knew big budget games.
However, I also don't believe that we can or
should be able to stop someone from sharing, so
I guess that I assume, that software will
eventually use a scheme where you have to
connect to internet to use crucial parts of
the sofware, and have people pay for that service.
I don't know what there going to do with movies
and music, as they can just be recorded though.
Brilliant Point,
I think the opposition to Nuclear Power is silly.
It's easy on the air and we I'm sure we have
good ways to dispose of the wast, it's just that
everybody's afraid of it. I also wonder how
environmentally friendly it is to force everyone
to buy new cars, and put all of the old cars in
more junkyards. Furthormore, if we would be
willing to build tall apartment and office
buildings in more places we could cut down on
the land requirements needed for everything. We
would have smaller commutes and less smog, because
we wouldn't have to drive as far to get to work.
Not to mention, that we could have more parkland
and thus more trees and the surronding area, if
not as much land was developed.
