This is in Britain
Most of the successful albums from here were in the 60s, 70s, and they will lose a lot of hold on these
EMI has most of the market share here
EMI would be worst effected
British jobs lost
Con Extension
Works based upon public domain stuff still have to be promoted and distributed
Music giants still vigorously control these channels
Public Domain recordings such as Classical Music are still big earners for EMI see EMI Classics in earnings breakdown.
Summary
Jobs will go, restructuring will occur and fileswappers wil be blamed
Back in '00 when the Microsoft case was reaching a prelimary [and since overruled] judgement, I checked out the Department of Justice Homepage. There's quite a lot going on there.
After a hard week of a big upgrade in the Womb-like interior of Level 3, Aldgate, London, I was a bit 'Racked out'.
The KVM serial connection to the Lights Out Manager told me that the kernel had stopped, so I lent down and removed the faulty drive.
It came out easy, but as I went to inspect it, there was a hell of a lot of Rotational Momentum, and I found it hard to twist. Over the hum of the Air Con, I heard it spinning down.
Then my mobile phone rang.. The Office calling.
p.s. You're not even supposed to have mobile phones in that area.
My university CSE.UNSW.edu.au [when I wasn't living in London] offered a Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering. Look here
Do this, or something similar in your area. You will get credits for a lot of the medically oriented subjects, and you will learn the Computer Science from the ground up. I believe if you're going to use Computing, ensure it is firmly based on theory, and not hacking. Hacking you learn to do, but theory is harder to get afterwards. You may never code a bubble-sort, but you'll know where to look if you need to.
Of how money hungry Hollywood Producers and scriptwriters can ruin a good series.
Seriously, the Egyptian populace is at risk of exposure to 3rd rate philosophy and embarrassing Cave Rave scenes.
I'd try to have it banned if I were the Egyptians.
Variously you refer to it as BMI, and most erroneously EMI.
EMI is a completely different member of the big 5 [Sony, Universal, Time Warner, EMI and BMG]. Zomba records is getting up there too.
Don't tar them all with the same brush. They're very competitive companies, and don't all share the same vision of how-things-should-be.
Do all your processing, calculating, searching, formulating, control flow in perl with no HTML to be seen. Whack all your data in a hash. Pass said hash to Template->process(). Then any [% variable %] text in the HTML looks in the hash. Every web designer worth their salt can deal with that. What is great too is that [% %] comes as ordinary copy in Dreamweaver et alia. They can see where it's going to go. This has its limitations though. Some designers don't grasp the concept of dynamically generated hidden fields to pass variables in a session stack. They tend to omit important tracking stuff.
Also Templates [TT2 being the favourite] will generate your emails. Combined with the rather strenuous Text::Autoformat, you get freakin' nicely formatted text emails.
You tool. You ARE thinking of PGP. Why did this get modded so high?
so only the one projector in the white house can read it without the watermark.
Well done, that's great... Everyone including bladen@whitehouse.gov will be able to *look* at this image using this watermark, just not verify it's authenticity.
You're talking about DRM, one of the very few uses of a trusted computing platform. Then they'll have those 'trusted' polarised glasses, with 'trusted' polarised lcd displays, and only those authenticated souls withthe right polarisation angle will be able to view it. Sensitive information could be displayed on any such monitor, you wouldn't need a special room. I would have included a link to the Slahdot article on those polarised thingummys but Slashdot search isn't working. Even a search on 'linux' brought up no results.
What the Whitehouse really need are several Cones of Silence.
The original YDdraig "Kids-on-drugs" comment is way out of line.
As a frequent Amsterdam attendant ex Londinium, I can appreciate that liberalisation is a good thing. What the '*sigh*' rubbish tries to infer is a link between illegality and disinformation.
These Nazi, anti-semitic, paedophilic websites spread *disinformation*. Misleading quotes from the Q'uran, Bible, Torah, what have you. False propaganda to whip up the demented mind of an unstable few.
Information should be free, censorship-haters.
But what do all you folk jumping to protect these scum, say about *disinformation*. Why should falsehoods be allowed to propogate? It's in everyone's interest that all information and views be based on freely accessible, but for G-d's sake ACCURATE information.
So illegal drugs may suck, but there's no comparison to the article. What is bad is denying kids access to information on the drugs they may take, legal or not.
I was a developer at a Medical IT firm in London. We went through the process of BS7799 and ISO 9000/1.
BS7799 is the British Standard for Data Protection. We had to have a paper free desk and shred everything. Despite having a double sided laser printer, all the damn staff still printed single. Everyone is a lot greener back in Australia.
Anyway, moral from that successful drive is... get in early. Twenty something staff? That's nothing. Push it through now. What came across most was that the accreditations make sure you have 'Systems' in place. New staff come in knowing the system. Old staff, well they're not going to be easy.
Read Peopleware under the section 'Believers But Questioners' and work towards that. At least then you get to read a darn good book on company time.
Methinks Rasterman and the Enlightenment team may not have had this in mind, but if they did, it'll work.
That previous post about the VM being important is spot on too.

Look, I'm fed up of people saying things are not possible to pay for.
These guys are the freakin Masters of collecting fees. Every business that plays music under a variant of the Westmister [Commonwealth] system pays a body [APRA in Australia] an annual fee. APRA then distribute this under their own metric.
Specifically you say there is no example where micropayments create a profit.
How about the underpinnings of America being the wealthiest Nation in the world? Micropayments on Financial Transactions!
Consumers don't buy that, but it gets hidden from them as an aggregate fee, ala a Television License.
These guys are just getting the infrastructure in place. Then they'll work on a way to make it feasable.

As some other/.ers have pointed out, SOAP et alia [Citrix tunnelling, iPortal Netlet] do their tunnelling over HTTP to a possibly suspect backend process, circumventing the packet level firewalls.
As the next gen of firewalls start tearing apart the HTTP stream looking for encoded application level stuff, you're going to see a marked decrease in performance of the tunnelling, again. This race for further and further tunnelling will make it v. inefficient.
New killer apps will have their own methods and resort to HTTP encapsulation only when unavoidable. One or more of these killers will reach a suitable critical mass that firewall holes are demanded by senior execs.
Thus HTTP will exist as the standard encapsulation for those apps not yet worthy, and the others will get their access.
Next to go is the strict adherence to TCP over IP for internal networking [RTP,something else over IPv6], and possibly a switch back to old school Token Bus on Ethernet for some segments.

But I think the problem is that even the high quality version falls into the public domain as 50+ years.

I could use another 20+ years for this attrocity to wait.
Have a look at DOJ vs. United Dominion Enterprises . Now there's a company born to monopolise.
Perhaps if ARM renamed to "We determine your mobile phone cost" there'd be a little more interest.

Hmm, you say it would be a pain for programming.
Imagine instead a 'phrase' keyboard. for, while, {, your variable names, and object method calls all floating towards you.
Pick and assemble you algorithm.
Brilliant. The applications go way beyond simple strings of letters.
I know the bison and yacc people have been struggling coming up with an L1 grammar for this for years, but maybe XSLT has the answer.
Can it transform Visual Basic code into something taken seriously?
