But isn't that essentially what we have now? A bunch of crap to buy, with a few good artists/bands? There's not much different taking your chance downloading music from mp3.com, than PAYING for ONE song you heard on the radio to find the rest of the album sounds like shit.
Sorry, but most of the new music blows, all pop is crap, alternaturd is just that. Everyone sounds like everyone else...
Remember the guitar solo??

The BSA has only managed to take down one irc channel (#warez4cable on Dalnet), a few bbs's back in the 80s, and web pages. The RIAA has never been on Undernet or DALNet for #mp3_metal or all the other ones that offer thousands of mp3s. Not to mention all the alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.* I ripped about 100-200 albums from my collection, I now have 130 CDrs of full albums of music, all from newsgroups and the irc. It comes out to be about 1200 full albums of music. It would take about a 90gig drive to hold all of them. I can go into any mp3 irc channel and pull up full albums by the gig. If they bring down one, another couple will go up. I could offer mp3s on my bbs if I wanted to, ftp sites still live...sheesh! Will they ever figure it out?

If the govt provided funding for private enterprises, microsoft would be taking money anytime it was handed out. But because they cannot steal linux code and use it for their own purpose, they'll complain.
If the govt was smart, they would fun OSS and USE it rather than wasting our tax money purchasing expensive licences from microsoft.

What is this with you Americans? Is it because you're all fscked up over Intellectual Property
-=snip=-
Sorry bud, it's not "US Americans" that have the problem with P2P/Copyright. It's the lawmakers and corporations. It's just that all the big corporations are based over here. I'd love to have P2P completely legal here, I'd also like to see legalized drugs & prostitution, abolish seatbelt laws and helmet laws, leave the tobacco industry alone, and pretty much any stupid and unecessary law banned from the books. We have a real problem here with lawmakers and their power hungry appetites. If we go the way we're going, we'll be a totalatarian govt over here. It sucks, but most of the American people are too blind to do anything about it.
A few years ago (I think it was) Intel that displayed funky shaped computer cases, they were purple, blue, green, all in strange shapes (not clear), Intel thought it was going to be the next big thing, funny, I haven't seen any lately. I wondered how they were going to get a motherboard to fit in there. Now we have $105.00 clear cases, you can buy a full tower for $60 US.
It's always something isn't it? Some new fad manufacturers come out with that is touted the next big thing that disappears without a trace.
