Microsoft wanted consumer access to RealPlayer disabled...
How the hell would they do that? I'm a consumer, I want to consume internet music...
Real Media, Quicktime, Windows Media...
I can't believe these fools can't agree on a standard format of somekind.
As previously announced, our content will not be available to Napster as part of the MusicNet service until we are reasonably satisfied that Napster is operating in a legal, non-infringing manner
This will never happen... Old bands and old music, as well as many new music and new bands are owned by crochity old RIAAsympathizing-onlycareaboutthe$$$-matchbox20lov ing-lovethenewMetallicaalbum-wouldn'tknowgoodmusic ifitbitthemintheass- people who will never release their songs to Napster, especially not now.
The way I see it, Napster paved the way for a whole new type of music consumption, and new bands and music will be distributed differently, using all these other similar technologies that will benefit from what Napster has done... but do it correctly.
These Record industry peeps are suckers, but they're smart enough to know when they lose money, they lose their jobs.
I look forward to the day when the bandwidth is available for individuals to really cut out the middle-men all together.
if you actually read this post you are oficially a geek. Most people's brains turn off when they see something like "pam_ldap/pam_krb5 Authentication Against Active Directory?"
That's cool shit though...
It's 1:15 am my time PST, on a saturday night... doesn't anyone go out anymore?
