do we have to? the sun is so bright, and interacting with real, live people require more physical and social skills beyond moving our ten digits in patterns over an input device...
perhaps in the potential for people freely communicating, sharing ideas, and developing a product that would make money? nah. free communication never made anyone's life better.
holy crap!
i just realized that the music industry as a whole has raised me to be a worthless scumbag with no morals as a whole.
now they're pissed at me for sharing music.
i, as a musician, would love for as many people as possible to hear what i've written.
i would, however, charge people money to come see me live.
that's a real world event.
it's happening.
it didn't happen last year and was just released yesterday.
it is a moment.
a recording is just the past.
it's not what my favorite musicians are doing right now.
however, if i had advanced notice that he or she was performing and i could pay money to go watch when it happens, i would.
i would even give them a couple of bucks if i saw them on tour, because merch is profit, and duplicated cds are profit.
how long before there are wireless capable ipods?
i did this math the other day:
1 ipod = $400
1 ipod = 7500 songs
1 song @ itunes = $1
7500 songs @ itunes = $7500
cost of duplicating music = $0
$400 + $7500 = $7900
it costs the consumer $7900 to get an ipod fully loaded with the past.
now what happens when there is a citywide network of wireless ipods with communication purposes as well?
what happens when the filesharing community of america, and the earth begins to vote?
i need to know these things. what would happen to a coasterized cdr? what happens if i place a glass of water inside and turn it on? will it explode like john stossel of tv's dateline nbc says? will i need a permit to dispose of massive amounts of insects ot will it not require any specialized training? more importaltly, can i free up space under the house and dispose of all those troublesome bodies? seriously.

humans tend to have a very high tolerance for crappy things that are free, but a very low tolerance for crappy things they have to pay for.

Imagine a 100,000 km cable falling to earth.. I wouldn't want to be under it. imagine falling 100,000 km to earth, while you're at it. ick.
will it have a 13th floor?
petty.

i buy, burn, and listen to the burns incase the burns get f'd up. it's better for me to not spend $15 more than once.
so nothing sounds like something now? the plot thickens...
