this is exactly what Courtney Love said about it, now that there is a second source Im disgusted by the concept, I fully support the artists when I can, true I do Download stuff from Gnutella, but if I like what I hear I BUY it (if its available).
Not only are you stupid, you dont even know what plagiarism is...
plagiarism n 1: a piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and is presented as being your own work 2: the act of plagiarizing; taking someone's words or ideas as if they were your own
erm... two computers on a network so you dont have to crowd around one split screen TV?

one other thing about release dates, you have a crapload of stuff sitting around in a warehouse taking up space, it was really bad when the "next generation" of computers rolled out...
"we have 50 computers that just came into our recieving dock and they have to sit here for a week?!?"
the OTHER way... as an ex-employee (who was NOT laid off) I can say that their management staff is incompetent, Bernie Ebbers is a fool, and you will be happier somplace else.
They have no desire to be competitive and even the management jokingly says WorldCom is a training ground for other corperations. If you MUST go ther, get as much training and money as you can then expect to leave in 1 year, as that is all they want you for.
Metallica... not w/ P2P, but by letting their fans distribute bootleg copies of their works... now they are against it... must be afraid of a little competition
1) I remember that they havent dropped in price at all... I was buying them when they first appeared, we had the only CD player on campus. only the ones NOT selling are reduced in price.
2) a CD cost less than.20 to make, not counting over priced producers, lawyers, recording agents all getting their CUT, leaving the one who people want to pay (the artist) holding onto pocket change
3) a CD once again is minimal to produce... $.20 Look at AOL they GIVE away CDs, while overstock may be relevant in certain areas of the economy (grain, computers, cars, etc) they arent relevant in the music industry.
1 item sat on the shelf for a week with no body purchasing it (15.00 profit margin), the next week we had a sale on the item (NOT advertised) we cut 5.00 off the price (10.00 prifit margin) we sold all 20 copies... so you do the math
Im sure you can help me find Bob Seger's Album "back in 72" seems it hasnt been available since 1973 and they havent re-released it to the general public. The only copies available are found on these p2p networks as the person who recorded it was kind enough to distribute it...
if the prices of CDs were lower (and the quality of the material better) they would make MORE money
the more product you make the less the product cost to produce, if one person will by a product at 20.00, four will buy it at 15.00 and 20 will buy it at 10.00
not factoring in production cost reduction if the product costs 2.50 to produce, then the sale of the one at 20.00 will net them 17.50, the 4 at 15.00 will net 50.00 and the 20 at 10.00 will net 150.00...
so the lesson is lower the price, and MORE people will buy... and you will get more money to pay the artists... oh wait thats not what this is all about is it...
in over three months, Ive been getting bootleg concerts from alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.bootlegs, on the same note, I havent purchased a CD from a retail store in over a year, instead I look for used ones at pawnshops.

maybe you need to learn how to use a dictionary
Ultimately, the technology could lead to computer monitors that you fold up and put in your pocket like a handkerchief.

I already have the two (actually I have 6) computers, so buying a console would be wasting my money...

I used to work retail, I know how this works
1 item sat on the shelf for a week with no body purchasing it (15.00 profit margin), the next week we had a sale on the item (NOT advertised) we cut 5.00 off the price (10.00 prifit margin) we sold all 20 copies... so you do the math
0 "profit" or 200.00 "profit"

this article says that 366,272 copies were sold last week... P2P is hurting sales? why didnt they all wait to download it?
