Say a P2P System broke a file into X bit chunks each with a unique id.
Then, instead of two people making a transaction of a copyrighted file, they just trade the "recipie" for assembling this file off the distributed system.
So in this case nobody distributes an actual copyrighted file, just small chunks that could potentially belong to any number of files...
How would you prosecute somebody for hosting a chunk that somebody else happend to include in his recipie for a file?
In the other direction, how could you proove that somebody was downloading a specific file from you?
In this case would the recipies become property of the copyright owners??? I dunno.. very strange.
I mean, you have a giant computer that simulates life to get electricity from humans or something. Huh? you're telling me a giant computer couldn't just make some robots to make factories for its needs?
It does, it grows humans as crops and consumes their energy. Would it be possible to run a computer like the matrix off of human energy? Who knows, they even mention there is some sort of fusion going on, basically "future magic"", but as far as sci-fi plot holes go this is a very minor sin.
What about in the Matrix? Would you go in the matrix to try to crash it when you could just blow up some generators somewhere? Don't they think that computer will have a backup and self reboot?
There are multiple reasons for this:
1) There are humans (children mainly) still inside the matrix they want to free.
2)Humans are at a serious disadvantage in the real world (as far as i've seen). They have to run and hide from 3 or 4 drones, let alone the entire machine army.
I think the real question is: How do they know the "real world" isn't just another abstraction to escape, and so on and so on.
Based on French surrealistic film "Un Chien Andalou", by Spanish director Luis Bunuel (1928). The film has a scene in which an eyeball is being cut open.
"I am un chien andalusia" actually mixes English ("I am"), Spanish ("un", which exists in French, but is actually pronounced as in Spanish), French ("chien"), and something undetermined ("andalusia" as such is neither French nor Spanish).
'I wish Bunuel was still alive. He made this film about nothing in particular. The title itself is a nonsense. With my stupid, pseudo-scholar, naive, enthusiast, avant-garde-ish, amateurish way to watch 'Un Chien Andalou' (twice), I thought: 'Yeah, I will make a song about it,' he sings: "un chien andalou"...It sounds too French, so I will sing "un chien andalusia", it sounds good, no?' - Frank Black
Radiohead is an excellent example one of the bands I'm talking about. They even wrote a song about how they are one of these bands. =)
"Creep" has that mass appeal. Anyone with any sense could hear that song once and know it would be a hit.
The problem is people would plunk a buck down and download Creep and every other song on Pablo Honey would remain unlistened.
It's not that the other songs are bad, cause they arn't. They just need a little time to sink in or listened to in context with the rest of the bands work.
They write 11 tracks on a CD and then throw in one "HIT" quality song. This "hit" song usually isn't considered by the band as one of their better songs but they keep it on there because they know that this song is what is going to get people to listen to the other 11.
Maybe people will hear the hit and then try and get the rest of the tracks from the band looking for a similar sound, but I doubt it. I think it's more likely they pick and choose the hit songs from 12 bands.
I don't know how many musicians feel this way, but doesn't selling a CD by the track feel like selling a movie by the scene?

No, it just tells us the old way of calculating the probability of life is wrong.
It's very unlikely that today I will run into 13 eskimo amputee clowns at McDonalds.
But suppose I do, which is more likely:
1) This is the work of god.
or
2) Eskimo amputee clowns arn't as rare as I had previously thought.

This per-song format would suck for artists.
