Currently when someone buys a CD, only 10% of what he pays goes to the artist.
So instead of making download fees for mp3 (or better future standarts), I think a much better system would be to declare what you're listening, such as emailing logs of you're mp3 player to an organisation that would then distribute you're 20$ monthly fee to the artists. They would get as much money as if you had bought about 9 CDs (and 10% for the gestion of it).
This seems to be a cool idea. Does posting on slashdot count to "own it" ?;-D
That would kill the disk companies (nice!).
I still like the CD as an object, ready the booklet and so.

I usually find comment and replies on/. pretty good. But when it cames to matter about the actions of one country that is not the US, you guys become *very* unfair.
Every country uses it's agent for protecting and helping it's biggest company. But you can't even think that France can represent a serious threat to US and countries involved in Echelon. France military budget is a very few percents of the Pentagon's one. And funds for "spies" is a little percentage in it. France shares only one military sattelite with some europeans countries.
I really think spying is not a good thing. Indeed, it is most obviously a bad thing. So we should lower our nationnalist premade point of view. In fact there is no rules in spying, the only rule is to not use murder when spying a friendly country.
We all do know about Echelon, and we all find it bad. If it was good it would have been submitted to the congress, but it is completly out of control for the american People. I really support any action against Echelon and do not consider it as attack aimed to harm, if Echelon could be put under democratic control, we - all of us on earth - could win more privacy.
Since we all speak to each other without any knowledge of the other's country, race, religion we should consider things that makes us the same -Free Software, Technology... -rather than thing that divides us. "Stuff that matters".
U're not supposed to sleep on new year's eve !

What is wrong with this ? There aren't much human made monuments u can see from space and these monuments were build for military reasons.
So why a government could'nt celebrate the next millenium with this? It's not just about being proud ("arrogant" as you say). US is now world's only hyperpower. It dominates the entire world in term of science, technology, culture, and even way of life! Can't we just have a monument to remember the days were France was leading.
Nobody builds cathedrals, cathedrals are now skycrappers and it's build for banks. The world's only god is money and it's the god who figures on USDollars!
So materializing the Paris Meridien may be seen as arrogant, but it's not for money, just for history, and future space tourism.
What about creating a Free Monument Foundation to cover the world and show visiting aliens we're not focused only on money anymore ?
Such a organisation will *never* be disolved on it's own willing. Some democratic institution, has to.
How abuse of power are prevented, every state agency makes errors. What if nobody can control it ? Seen Ennemy of the State, it looks too realistic to me.
Encryption, in its current form won't solve anything. NSA as the largest number of mathematician working on prime number (at a secret location, on falsified ID...). They may have already found the key.
Elected president and others democratic representant are informed by these agency, they just can't make their own opinion about it.
If we were in a Civilization Call to Power game, I'm sure the current government of US would be Corporate Republic, and Echelon would be "The Agency" wonder.

Depends, some artist do mix their CD as they want to, depends of the labels, tagerted audience...
But it's artists do earn about 7 to 10 percent of the retail price.

It's has been proved that NSA infiltrated Microsoft to introduce backdoors in Windows.
Do we need to check all Linux or BSD programmer ?
Make they sign a certification "I'm not working for a intelligence agency...
That would instaure a real paranoid. X code contains a Buffer Overflow... is he one of them ?
