I think he's aware that it'll be out on the net for downloading before he got wind of what the label was doing anyway. I don't think it'll bother him that much.
Maybe they want to get rid of as many of the 5% as possible as they weren't making money off them anyway, and get the money out of the not clued in types who don't use much bandwidth but were bedazzled by their marketing campaign.
If they accept that Napster improves sales, why the hell would they fight against it?
Because it would seem that people other than them (RIAA) would have the credit for having sales improved. It's all about the control of supply that they're after. They will choke down all competition in order to market to you what they want you to consume. Look at commercial radio. Even though the RIAA doesn't own directly commercial stations that play music, they are pretty much the only one's whose product ends up being played on them. Yeah, I know it's because they are the only ones that can afford the payola to do so, but still that gives you an idea of what goes on there.
With all the serious romance slant the trailer gave out, you'd think ol George was trying to work it as some sort of Titanic in space. Then again, look how much jack that movie rolled in.
Guess N'Sync can serenade the ppl jumping into lifeboats...erm, pods as some star cruiser that got in the way of some battle disintegrates.
Considering that SBC/Pacbell are marketing to a bunch of internet newbies to buy their service at, I can see where they're going. Most newbies have no idea about Usenet and its history. So alot of them will have no idea what they're missing, good or ill. So SBC/Pacbell would think it's no big deal to them if binaries are killed or not. Oh yeah, they stay out of the DMCA zone at the same time.
Start up companies that finally get in the radar of bigger companies with deep pockets, and negotiate behind the scenes, even though publicly they are on different sides. It's always a matter of time before money wins out. Soon, it'll be back to the more knowledgable techie types that will be trading mp3's or movies or warez on under the radar programs again.

Rather talk about Vaclav Havel if we're talking about recent passing of leaders.
ask them if they like "balut".
I'm betting their computers are like their tv's.. a cardboard box with the glorious leader's picture on it.
.. to welcome our new alien overlords.
I'd guess a few thousand years of bug fixing got us to the point where you mention us "fixing" it. Bring in convenience as a factor as well.
They could raise a fuss...
Not anymore.
EFF Kills Bogus Clear Channel Patent
A group of fans went to one of the band's shows ... each shooting the show from a different angle.
So this is exactly like the making of Bon Jovi's video for _Bad Medicine_, then?
Bon Jovi didn't do it for a whole concert then give it away for free.

What, there are episodes of the 11th doctor already being manhandled by his female assistant(s)?
Sheesh, let the episodes show up so you can see them, then make a judgement after that.
Welcome to "Gallifrey 90210"
What, Shannen Doherty caused the destruction of a whole race too? Nice.

Of course, if they used "Violent Love", you can sing "I want to make violent love to you".
Not too shabby.
Bah! Bring me the Eye of Harmony. Then you can do more than just time travel.
Um, who do you think pays for the FTC to do this in the first place?
