And when Napster was shut down, music CD sales dropped. Is there a pattern developing here?
The pattern is much clearer when you look at the state of the economy and the high availability of high paying/low skill needing jobs (web development is one such occupation) versus music sales. This pattern even holds for many more years. Using specious reasoning only hurts your argument.
(OTOH, the album format is largely dead. Look at the plethora of 'Music NOW!' discs and so forth. Most 'albums' are just one or two singles with some hastily recorded crap to fill out 35-45 minutes.)

Given the fact that most early rock & roll LPs were usually just two hits and 10 tracks of hastily recorded filler, the sheer quality of the Crickets' full-length 1957 debut is pretty astounding.
Linux Kernel,
Built to get a PhD and thus a better job. Do you think that Transmeta would have hired Torvalds had he not built the Linux Kernel.
Da Vinci's Inventions
Da Vinci was paid quite well as a court artist for the duke of Milan. Throughout his life he also served various other roles, including civil engineer and architect (designing mechanical structures such as bridges and aqueducts), and military planner and weapons designer (designing rudimentary tanks, catapults, machine guns, and even navel weapons).
Galileo's Inventions
Galileo was born a nobleman, and was a professor at university of Padua, thus paid for his work.
Kid yourself all you want, but you are violated the artist's copyright. If it is worthless to you then don't enjoy the fruits of their labor. Tell me who is greedy?
This is the biggest bunch of bullshit I have heard. Who is greedy here? Someone who works their asses off and expect to be paid for the work, or a fucking leach who expects people to entertain them for the love of entertaining.
Do you have a job? Do you expect to be paid for your work? People like you are going to make all of the talented artists choose a different line of work, since they are smarter than you, start working on your "Do you want fries with that?".
Digital Photography cost far less than standard film photography in almost all aspects including storage. I never delete any of my photos. My camera's images are 2-3 megabytes each (that is a 3 megapixel jpg). A cdr costs about $.50 and will hold 200+ photos. How much does 10 rolls of film cost? How long does a color negative last? How long does a cdr last? Why would anyone delete anything? If you are maybe you should buy a couple of more flash memory cards (I have 3). This is a luddite without the ability of critical thought.
My dad is on Maine's Appropriations Committee, knowing King's plan of the laptop for every 7th grader, I gave my father a copy of Stoll's "High Tech Heretic", hoping that the arguments in that book could be used to bring some sense to Angus King.
Personally I think Slashdot itself makes a good example as to the drawbacks of an overly computized education.
I gave members of the Maine Appropriation's committee copies of Clifford Stoll's High Tech Heretic. Hopefully they will properly spend the little resources they have. One thing about Independent Governor Angus King, is that he isn't well liked by either party, so he rarely gets that much the he really wants passed...
Artists literally can get checks from the RIAA of 0.12$US for a 20$US record sale. Artists could make a LOT more money if they distributed online and took all the profits from said sales (and more power to them on doing this - I would buy music if my money was going to the artist, and not the RIAA).
This is simply NOT true. First of all albums can be bought for $12-$15, secondly, if the artist wrote the songs the Mechanical Royalty of at least $0.0755 a song. This is paid by Harry Fox or other publishing companies, not the record companies, and is paid regardless of the record recouping. If the musician didn't write the songs, then the songwriter is paid this money.
The market says if you don't want to pay the going price you do WITHOUT! You do not steal, or take what you are not willing to pay for, in the case of the market you go to jail for that.
Your ire should be focused directly on the people who flaunt the copyright laws. We should be self-policing, We should make sure that content creators are paid what THEY expect to be paid for their work, or NOT enjoy the fruits of their labor. Piracy(and for all of you pedantic morons out there, piracy is defined as copyright violations, and has been for decades) is rampent, and until it isn't we have no legs to stand on claiming OUR rights are violated, as every day creators rights are being violated. For every single person that gets their ISP shut off for 2 weeks there are literally THOUSANDS of copyright violations going on.
Uhgg "Bob Battys in the bellfry", I thought I would never see his face again after quiting Xaos Droolz with over 6K in back pay owed. Sometimes life ain't fair.

That is the life that you choose. Good for you, however don't you decide what rights others have.

That can be done on IE, as you can just add a site to the trusted sites list, and enable JS on those sites.

I can do it with 1992 technology pretty damned easily. It would cost more than consumers are willing to pay, but not that much more.
