or... force the retailers into letting them ( and only them ) sell at a lower MSRP then other chains. ( and make up some excuse to keep everyone out of jail )
Or they make it stick forever, and turn the child into a virtual serf having to turn over 90% of their income for the rest of their lives.
It would be easy pickings to create a perpetual income for the industry, as we know you cant explain to a 7 year old its bad to copy music. ( espcially when most adults feel the same way as the child )
Stick the tack under a picture, behind a cube-wall or file cabinet ( ok, so i know the metal in the cabinet is a problem, but you get my point im sure ) or even out in the open, painted to look the same as the 'security paint'.
Who is going to work in a office that has chicken wire over the windows?
So, if you have a disgruntled employee, all they need to do is stick a tack in the wall. Instant nearly invisible outside access. I bet even a pushpin holding the latest calendar up on the wall would do the trick, and not even need to be intentional.
Oh, and there are those pesky doors and windows to deal with too.
But look at the bright side, you cant be paged or get a SMS call when the servers go down.:)
When you shoplift, you take an actual tangable object. The store is deprived of the ablity to sell that object to a customer and there is a true monetary loss.
When you copy some abstract bits of data, you have not deprived anyone of anything. And, if you couldn't afford the bits in the first place, then even the vague concept of 'a potential sale lost' is nullified.
Try again. But think it thru before you waste my time again.
Regardless of how the parents react to the child, if the *aa bankrupts the parents using the concepts of 'war of attrition', they are artificially abusing the child since the parents wont be able to provide for the kid.
I dont care if its legal or not, bankrupting people beacuse they downloaded some stupid music is not justice. There isn't any harm in downloading. Noone that downloads a few thousand albums were going to actually buy that many. There isnt a 'lost sale', and no one was harmed in the process.. This whole thing is just f-ing insane and we shouldnt even be talking about this. I can hardly believe it really..
Actually went up this year compared to last. But then again, i refuse to buy from *AA artists, and nothing i listen to is in the stores around here anyway. If you want it, you order it from the artists themselves..
Its not a 'direct line' as you put it, but if you get an entire generation used to 'fake' violence in this manner, they will be more accepting of it later on when it becomes real.
And if you dont belive me, just do some research on the subject in psychological journals.
Knowing you have a terminal disease only really makes a difference if you are in a hospital. Outisde, your chances are the same as the rest of us for the most part. In 5 years, they might even find a cure for whatever you have.
( now, the not passing it along to kids arguement, thats a more valid debate )

Why stop at every streetlight? Lets just mandate implants for everyone, and a worldwide sensor network, and get it over with.
Sad. Really sad we have come to this point.
or just outright buy the legislation they want.

"building maintenance here. Need to repair some damage in this wall over here, please pardon our dust today"
Social engineering is more powerfull then most people realize.

No, there is not a comparison.

I diagree, there are 2 ways.
:)
The 2nd way is we kill all of them.

Dont hold your breath. I smell political maneuvering here, nothing more.
Odd, i thought it said it was 'the next released to be LTS" on either the K or U wepage. Might have been a typo or i caught it out of context..
Oh well, ill keep burning cdR's for a bit longer.
I tend to agree, however it was a cute idea and could be taken somewhere if they actually get a writer and a producer.
Since this is the next version of "LTS" does that mean we can get a free set of nice shiny *pressed* cds of this later this year?
You mean like mandatory watermarking and file system level DRM?
So, that pretty much means the feds cant buy anymore windows software. Cool.
Actually went up this year compared to last. But then again, i refuse to buy from *AA artists, and nothing i listen to is in the stores around here anyway. If you want it, you order it from the artists themselves..
But i did buy more.
Dont we have enough of these things already? How about lets all work on making one better, then just adding another to the pile?
Suuuuure they will. This should have been classified as 'its funny, laugh'.
... don't hold your breath.
Could companies be more open with them, sure, but *donate*
ummm thats why its called work. it IS a chore.

You could die tomrrow in a car accident.

Umm no. Only those that take a test have to face it. The rest of us, wont.
Then its not even a realistic question. I can think of a few in the million dollar range that would be nice to have.
Welcome to reality, that is what work is all about..
