Most bands i know of never produce an album at all and make their money playing local gigs so i disagree that its 1% that 'make it'. True, they don't make millions, but they make a living. ( unless i misunderstood your point, just waking up:) )
Sure, some marginal in talent bands cant make it live and rely on the sale of ( overly produced ) record sales, but perhaps those should dry up anyway?
On software, i do admit i don't do games, and all my consulting time has gone to business applications.
Network play Consulting ( support ) Concerts ( branching out here a little, into music )
I have made a living most of my professional life supporting others people garbage. ( and a short stint producing in-house code ). Its a model that does work. Even have supported OSS code for profit, so don't tell me it only works with 'pay' applications.
I was hoping the FCC might be on the *consumers* side and protect *us*, like they are supposed to be. I hope this is not a precedent as they move into regulate public data communications.
No one will buy them.. they are DRM encrusted.. bla bla bla
Hate to break it to you, but those of us that tried to explain that WE are not the target market were right.. The 'masses' love the things and are buying them like hotcakes.
The main piece of the kits, an adapter with a six-inch antenna that plugs into a USB port, comes with a CD-ROM to install its driver and a separate live CD-ROM that boots up an operating system called BackTrack. In BackTrack, the user can run applications that try to obtain keys for two protocols used to secure Wi-Fi networks, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). After a successful attack by the applications, called Spoonwep and Spoonwpa, a user can restart Windows and use the revealed key to access its Wi-Fi network.
1 - More NAT for those that don't need public IP ( most consumer devices don't really *need* it . Most business don't need 1000's either ) 2 - More people move to v6 and the problem goes away.
Tho i do wish i had bought a small block long ago, but i didn't NEED it so i was responsible and passed.

How are they going to do that legally or morally? If you got duped and thought you were doing something legal, its not your fault.
Just a distraction from the truth.
It depends on how it was released:
If it was stolen or honestly lost, then i agree, the ownership wasn't transferred.
If it was intentionally given away by an employee entrusted with its custody, but not company support, perhaps ownership IS transferred.
if it was leaked with company support, then they give up ownership rights off the bat.
Must be a different piratebay then the one that i know of...
its copyright infringement. Idiots.
I honestly don't think most consumers think that far ahead. " i want that shiny object, now "
But not free ones that will tunnel thru SSH :(
Ya, but the average guy wont understand that and think its something special.
and 2 for 1 didnt hurt either..
Only if viable alternatives still exist. Once they are put down, then it will be converted to a pay service.

Value added services. Such as:
Network play
Consulting ( support )
Concerts ( branching out here a little, into music )

No, its obscene.
Its the only way the companies can truly control content. Don't pay your bill, your game ( application, data ) goes poof.

It's not about apple, its about the slow death of a boated over used insecure format.
Each 'random site' as you call it, is another nail in the coffin and i look forward to a return to a less "client hungry" net.
Oh wait, you are a troll.. nevermind.
Yes, yes you are. But is that a bad thing?
Property, well yes its your hardware to beat with a stick if you like. Problem is it also contains their code, which you only license and don't own..
Good luck with that sinking in. Far too many people around here think they are entitled to whatever they want.
Ya, the current restrictions suck, but its a choice, one made with full disclosure up front.

Ya. sure anyone can do it.
Need i say more?
Really..
I'm sure it is, and you know there are NEVER any holes in blocking technology.
Its that he was doing personal activities while 'on the job'. He wants to watch porn, fine, but do it while on his own time.
