Can you see it? Someday, all transactions on digital networks will require secure p2p operation such as this would provide. Meaning, that companis would only do business with you if they can be assured you won't take advantage of them.
This would be a very marketable product in the future. Wouldn't the MPAA love it when all television sets in the future run this future OS? It would assure them that your TV is who it says it is, and would make sure those silly kids aren't trying to record a TV shows... God forbid.
Yes, this means that, in the future if you wish to see if you are inclined to some sort of cancer, you will have to pay licensing royalties just to take a peak at your own genes.
Hopefully, the mass ignorance going on over at the patent office will be stopped.

Yes, I can see it now... a bunch of ET look-alike aliens are sitting around the tube, waiting for the first message from earth. Then, suddenly, a picture of the Spielburg star getting nailed in the crown jewels.
I wonder if they can cross their legs?
This is a marriage breakthrough!

Really, all along I've had the feeling I was being too animated in my conversations with my wife. She often responds with that blank, 'what the hell are you talking about' stare.
What you're say is that now I should just say "beer! Mmmph!" and she'll make dinner, take care of the kids, and let me watch The Man Show?? Great! I'll go try it right now.
First of all, I don't think anyone should be arguing about Napster anymore. And I think it is mostly agreed that what WAS going on through Napster WAS illegal.
Now, this has no bearing on whether the RIAA is a corporate organization destined for greed, or not. They, of course, are protecting their profits like any sane company would, and to a greater extent, grasping at the final ends of a rope that is their final days.
They obviously realize that, in an internet age, there is NO NEED TO DISTRIBUTE MUSIC ON SOLID MEDIA. Duh, this is where they make all of their money. This is why a CD costs $16, and are no better quality than a good MP3 (for argument sake). This brings us to a new discussion point.
1. Artists are still signing contracts with large record labels that do things the old way. Don't forget this. The artists bring this upon themselves. It's not just the Recording Industry's fault that THEY own all of the music and its distribution. Think, the recording industry OWNS the right to distrubute a copyrighted work. Can you think of another way to make as much money?? What a great idea. Make money off of distruting a disc that costs 5 cents, and contains something that consumers can't trade with friends, and get arrested for copying.
2. If we, as consumers, were to change the way that the industry works, then we are perfectly capable. This is what we want, right?
3. What is needed, is a new breed of recording company that does not rely on hard-media to distribute its recordings. This new breed of company should receive no money from the distribution of music. Yes, read it again. This 'recording company' would plan on no $$ for 'distributing' music. ie - A band would record their songs, encode them, and put them on the web. No media costs, free to consumers, band gets heard on radio, blah blah blah.
4. At this point, how does this new breed of company make money? Touring, gigs, etc... This is the only way (really) for them to bring in money. Remember, all this company would provide for bands is promotion, publicity, and a server to keep their MP3's on. Obviously, this doesn't cost them much money, so who cares if they don't get profits from CD-sales?
5. With this new model, the MP3's are still intellectual property of the band, in the form of a song, but are distributed freely across the net. The thing the band does to make money, is tour, promote through radio stations, etc... Yeah. By the way, remember that bands make JACK off of CD sales. Touring is where the money is at. Just ask Dave Matthews himself.
People may look at this idea and say, wtf?!?!? Why would bands do this? because THEY would be in control of their music. They would not have to rely on a distrubutor to get their music out. (which is ALL that record companies are these days)
Why would this 'new breed of record company' want to do this? They will make $$ off of touring should the band take off. Remember, this new breed of record company wouldn't distribute ANYTHING. They are simply PR, and help connect the band with the commercialized world.
"these trusted systems were not just efforts at making sure that the copyright interests would have the same rights that they had under copyright law, but in fact could be developed to give copyright holders more rights than they had under traditional law." - exactly... Are politicians really that dumb? I think they know what's going on, but have no clue how to even use a computer.
Just like that new E-Privacy Bill... it's the biggest wad of bull I've seen yet.
BTW, the DMCA can kiss my arse.

are patented already. On 60 minutes last Sunday, there was a story about Myriad Corporation. This company owns the sequence to most breast cancer genes. ie - They were granted Patents to your genes.
I know most slashdots readers are male, but it's easy to see the problems with a corporation having patents on your genes. Very scary.

I have a great new site... for only $150 I will take you on a tour of the dumbest membership based web-sites in history.
Along the way, we'll check out TheMuseumOfMoldyFood.com, AllAboutLint.com, and PicturesOfMyBasement.com...
