I am getting truely tired of Large Corps creating things that they say are "Good for honest Consumers" Give me a break, When Napster was around the Music industry was doing more business not less Now they want to encrypt CD's.. Tax CD-R Sales Attempted to tax Email/Internet Usage Prevent Analog Output Force new technology to have to occure Create Standard that make what should be brand new technology useless
ALL I can say is that this is retarted!! Sure I copy CD's and rip MP3's...Hey Sony did you ever think I was ripping them for the SONY MP3 Player in my car? When is enough, enough. Large corporations (Microsoft, Soft, The US Government) are selling out on our freedoms under the argument that they are protecting there copyright. Okay lets go line by line... Encrpt CDs...Sony Sold the CD and the MP3 Play (not that I would buy Ceilen) are they going to refund my money on one or the other since they are preventing me from using it for the propose they sold it for. Tax CD-Rs..Okay then while we are at it can we please tax Film, Tapes, Paper, and Mud? I am sure I can copy things on all of these types media. Tax the internet and EMAIL..To my knowledge this died but I am sure it will get suggested again so here I go. The post office feels that the internet stole its business with email...It did and it is called a better product, does this mean that if I make a computer then someone makes a better computer I can sue for the lost profit? Analog Output..So if I want to record movies of my sisters kids I have to encrypt them? Or have totally different technology to display them, The thing that made this how age great was that things were portable and replicatable, if that goes away I think the love for the industry will to. Making Technology useless..The companies would be selling out on the very people that supported a new techonolgy, if no one buys it when it is cool new technology it never becomes cheap household technology, this cycle of pissing off the supports can't last long. Finally yes the US government is a Corperation..
They are in it for the profit, maybe not at the funumental level but at the person checking the box to approve these laws, they don't get the votes to run again in office without the money from large backers, so they support larger backers not the working classes that put them in office. Lets get a limit on the years someone can spend in senate. Then at least the last few years can be honest (hehehe like that will happen).
Sorry for the rant.
