its the new radio...the only thing that will be accomplished is more elaborate p2p apps that hide the users...or at least make it harder to hunt them down like nazis...even if microsoft succeeds with its prison pc there will be some circumvention invented...i dont think consumers are stupid enuf to update to anything like that...we just may finally see the end of microsoft and people buying less pcs....

it was the riaa crying apocalypse in the first place that made p2p a worthwhile application
i hardly ever buy cds. i never did. they usually suck. since p2p ive bought more cds in 2 years than i bought in the last 10 primarly because i can preview them and see if they are just ear candy or if the record industry made a mistake and let a good band slip thru the cracks...since i cant stand the radio i guess that leaves me wondering with a wallet full of cash and not willing to spend it on sumthing i havent heard and am CONVINCED (as one would want to be) that its actually worth 20 bucks...i work hard for mine
wut with the enormous harm those darn file swappers are doing to the record industry...yeah right...nothing to do with the same song playing on the radio for the last 20 years. They want us to pay 99 cents a pop for inferior copies of songs that are usually only comparable to a tune recorded from an fm radio station. Furthermore they fail to see the internet as a huge radio station with the difference being that u and i are the dj and we dont need to be paid to play wuts good. Now bands are becoming popular due to the file swapping services themselves. Since bands primarily make their money from touring i guess no one seems to make the connection that one could almost eliminate the record industry alltogether as a culture of listening continues to pervade the amerikkan landskape...We can win this one if continue to be vigilant. Once bands see that they can make the money we spend themselves some savvy marketer will make the dream come true. at 99 cents a pop yr paying for a cd like it or not...an inferior cd at that...good luck riaa!!!!
personally ive seen movies (600 mb) fly off the internet in 2 hours almost real time--kazaa lite and cable...a 19 inch monitor is a small tv...am i missing something or isnt pirated video on demand pretty much here now? im quite sure its possible to put down the remote control and download an endless amount of content such that you would never need to use cable or network television in their native formats again. the only things keeping it from going mainstream, if you dont think its there already, are the technical savvy needed to view content, the lack of ubiquitous broadband, and the fact that hollywood hasnt publicized its bitches about piracy in quite the same mannner as the record industry.
