  1. Re:Protected CD's for DJ's suck ... on Copy Protection On CDs Is 'Worthless' · · Score: 1

    I am sorry DJ, but why would BMG want you to even have a job? Don't you think that they want everyone at every event you play music at to purchase a copy of every CD that has song you play? Think about it. If you play 50 songs from 50 different CDs at an event with 1000 people, BMG will lose about $10,000,000.00 This is the loss from just one DJ on one night. I can totally understand why they want to shut all DJs down.

  2. Re:DVD vs CD on Copy Protection On CDs Is 'Worthless' · · Score: 2, Informative

    I purchased Monsters Inc. on DVD. It was the 2 disc special addition with hours of extra content. The movie comes in 2 forms on one disc, Wide screen or Pan and Scan. Pixar re-rendered the whole movie so that the Pan and Scan would still fit on the TV format. So it was almost like animating the whole movie again. It was just $16.99 (USD).

    Just for fun I looked up the cost of the Sound track to Monsters Inc. at the same store. It cost $15.99. One dollar less. 6 hours of video content or one hour of music. Same price, your choice.

  4. Re:Artificial market economy on FCC Mandates Digital Tuners · · Score: 1

    You forget that the FCC want to auction off the current TV spectrum for about 18 Billion. That is why they want to move everyone to digital.
