If there's an objection to time-shifting, might it be the widespread file sharing of Opie and Anthony episodes when they were on the air in New York? They're going to charge $2 for the channel O&A are going to be on...
Exactly. Only those without taste will invest in the files offered on the service. If I want to listen to video game music I'll just play a video game.
PS - It's a joke people. Live with it.
Right after you try to be funny. Or creative.
Anyone who wants to dis IDM hasn't heard Boards of Canada, or any of Aphex's better work. Get with it already.
Ask Paul McCartney how much money he lost through free radio transmission of Beatles music.
Ask Steven Speilberg how much money he has lost from video rentals.
None - are you stupid enough to not know that artists get paid when their music is played on the radio? Or that Speilberg doesn't get points on the video market?
Lately It has gotten so that even if youdo buy the CD there is only one or two songs that you will listen to. Are two songs worth $20.00? $10.00? I am willing to buy songs that I like,But I am NOT willing to pay for the filler trash.
There was a time when bands toured and sold tickets to thier shows to make money and albums were put out to promote a new tour.
You and all the other Slashdot tools have this backwards. BANDS TOUR TO PROMOTE SALES OF THE ALBUM.
Come on kids, you got something inside those heads. Let's use it. Most bands lose money touring. Ask a few. No, not Dave Matthews Band or the Rolling Stones. Then again, most bands lose money being signed to a major label.
Accept the fact that 99% of you know jack about how the music "industry" works.
It would change the phase of the music (180 degrees)
There's a song on _Initiation_ by Course of Empire that does something similar to this. They took two pieces of feedback, reoriented them at 180 degrees, or something. I can never remember how it goes. Basically, you play the CD back on a mono sound output and you ca hear a song buried underneath a lot of feedback. My TV is mono, where did that CD go?
Full Frontal and George Washington were edited using Final Cut Pro. I guess some of the indigent films were too, in light of the above Forbes article posting.
Tape, Final, and Tadpole. All three were (if I'm correct about Tadpole) made for less than $250k. I know for a fact Tape and Final were. Tadpole got bought for $5 million by Miramax and should be hitting limited release this week or next. And all of them were shot on DV, so projecting them digitally would be AOK.
Not to be contrary, but I really think 98 was a MAD improvement over 95. SFC, improved defrag, regscan, there's tons of stuff in there to fix things. At least from a tech support guy's standpoint, it's miles better (I was one at the time).
Most stocks don't pay dividends. They don't have to. Besides, one quarter of breakeven doesn't even come close to making up for all the money poured into Amazon so far.
I'd rather see a movie with an interesting story to tell than something that's just hung off of expensive special effects. Most of the movies I saw this year grossed way less than half of LOTR's budget. Hell, most grossed less than one tenth of that... but I found that this was one of the best years for movies by far.
Amelie is well worth the time. You should also check out The Man Who Wasn't There if you haven't, there's something very beautiful and simple about it.
Not at all. Look up the "fair use" provisions of US Copyright law. Some copying of a work is legal, and a "personal use" copy, especially if done so the original isn't used (i.e. having a copy for home, a copy for the car, and a copy for the office, with only the purchaser having access to all three copies) is 100% legit. Or was, up until DMCA made it illegal to exercise ones fair use rights.
Your wife in the car is where it gets dicey. Always has been a gray area of the HRCA. I'm no fan of the DMCA by any means.
However, the home-copying thing is much more fuzzy. I may make a copy of a CD to listen in my car, while my wife listens to the same CD at home. But this does not mean I have cheated the industry of selling another CD. I may feel that forking out $15 for a second copy of that CD is too much. In that case, my "illegal" copy brings a benefit to me, while hurting no one, since not making that copy wouldn't make me buy a second copy of the CD.
Your not wanting to pay for another copy of the CD doesn't mean it's okay for you to deprive the artist of the money they would have made from it. Someone is in fact getting hurt. You think your copy doesn't cost much, but stuff like that happens on a wider scale, and suddenly they're stuck in hock to a label and can't get released from their contract.
I've seen weak justifications like that for software piracy - "I wouldn't buy the software anyway, so no one's getting hurt!" Right... you wouldn't buy the software because you ended up getting it for free by cheating. Nice one.
Unless you're doing CD-Rs, it's not really a "print on demand" kind of situation. When getting CDs pressed, a minimum run is usually 500 or 1000 units. Yes, I know there are counter examples. But the more you press at once, the cheaper it gets.
Backup: I run a very small record label. I'm close to a band in Dallas the is currently being played on the radio in Dallas (and in some spots around the country) and is on a local indie label with a lot of other good bands.
My friends crashed a demo of San Francisco Rush 2049 for Dreamcast once. It complained it didn't have enough streak polys and said to call Steve. We took pictures, but I lost them when my computer got stolen. Alas.
I was the first person in my town to actually have DSL through then GTE. And I couldn't be happier. I too would rather lose body parts than my high speed connection. It does go down every now and then. Sometimes all I have to do is renew the lease on the IP. Sometimes I reboot the big pizza box router (Orckit, I was an early adopter). Every now and then it's a wide outage, and I just cope. But I've never really felt that dead in the water, never had long spans of downtime. I always kinda wanted to, because my contract says you have to have 24 hours of downtime before you can get a refund, and I've never managed to claim that money.:|
Only complaint I can think of is I think somebody toggled me back to Bronze service instead of Bronze Plus - because my connection seems to limit itself to 256/64 all the time, when it used to perform ar various speeds up to 768/128.
I'm not sure what 6th Street has to do with anything, since MC 900 is from Dallas. I've run into him a few times in Denton and in Dallas - last time he did anything public, he was playing trombone for a Telefones reunion. He was the best thing about that. Holy geez did they suck.
Mark Griffin is the man. Last time I bumped into him, I made sure to ask about a new album. Don't expect anything any time soon, unfortunately. He's not even sure if he's still signed.

Analog Bubblebath 5 was released.
Be sure to tell that guy that bought it in that eBay auction a year or two ago. And the guy who sold it. I think it went for over 4 digits.
That, "Melodies from Mars" and the IG-88 (Grant's record) are the 3 Aphex rarities. Well, and if you believe in the sandpaper thing, those.

Must not be that good if there's only 2 good songs on the album. Pretty much every album I own is good all the way through.
Ask Steven Speilberg how much money he has lost from video rentals.

You dumb...
I am willing to buy songs that I like
Have you tried listening to GOOD music?

Isn't this just basically the Renault Ellipse concept car, minus the solar panels? It's even got the suicide doors...
I had an 89 Ford Mustang that would short out regularly - until it burned 12 days after I bought it.
Just saying.

"major films" - if you insist. *eyeroll*
87 Ford Mustang?
Three words, three titles:
Tape, Final, and Tadpole. All three were (if I'm correct about Tadpole) made for less than $250k. I know for a fact Tape and Final were.

I don't recall there being any ads before the Region 1 DVD menu for Series 7. Awesome movie. I wouldn't return it, no matter the ads.
Really, have we got enough to whine about these days?
Also, will the new scenes make this Hobbit crap even slightly interesting? Ooh, there goes my karma...
