But by doing what the RIAA says, he becomes a martyr.
Still, what is more powerful to the college students out there, an innocent martyr or a dashing P2P loving freedom fighter.
I'm wagering that the RIAA going after someone who wasn't screwing up that badly along with all the other crap they're trying to pull will bite them in the butts one of these days.
In any scenario, I think the internet and new imaging tech, etc, plus the general lack of lives, need for nostalgia, and the stupidity of the tv/moviemaker corporations has led more and more fans to start making their own remakes. Take Star Trek Exeter, for example...

Lol, I like to joke that in the future, I will be able to program girlfriend with AI.
Problem with giving them AI is they dump you and turn down your requests to talk to them.
1) Friends
2) Friends with cable modems/high speed internet access
3) Friends with no life
4) Friends who are total anime junkies, worse than yourself
5) CD-Rs
6) Friends who are KaZaA addicts.
7) A girlfriend who can put on pouty cute faces and stuff for your friends in exchange for all the anime they've stolen.
Mix, and enjoy.
And don't let your girlfriend see the hentai collection.
Ohh, think of the Social game potential...

Mixed with AI, you could have some twisted ass dating sims...
"Why are you breathing so hard? Hey! Stop looking at me like that!"
How about, "How to find a job when the economy is fucked."
Actually, I know this seems like a stupid suggestion, but starting out with the old sci fi classics can be the best... Battlefield earth, Dune, the forever war, etc.
"but it seems like there are a lot of obstacles to overcome before then."
Yeah, like students that can get the same music for FREE.
If the recording industry wants collge students to start buying music when they're already in a bad shape financially and it's free on other P2P channels, they should wake up.
Although if the university just added the legit P2P charge to tuition... That's all they need to do.
I mean, when you have a movie that's about a nerd who becomes god like, you're bound to have it be all over the P2P channels!
I'm suprised the movie industry isn't trying to put all sorts of viruses on it or whatever. Or find the people who pirate it and stick little spiders into their navels.
Still, I think a lot of the people who pirate it have also seen it on the big screen... Because, well, the movie leaves a lot of questions unanswered, which I need to see it at least 5-6 more times to fully catch (plus, all the little things), so yeah, I could see where both pirating it and seeing is a real possibility.
All the people who were born in zion do not adhere to any type of steriotype at all. The programs, both exile and proper, are perfect steriotypes (Little asian man, Kung fu master, coarse old black lady, pompous rich white man, etc.)
Just an interesting point on how much imagination the machines have.
"Makes me wonder why medical care costs so much.:)"
The reason for that is simply that there are a lot of mouths to feed. Err. Pay. There's all the nurses, orderlies, and paid peons to support, whose purpose is to make your normally wreched hospital visit somehow bearable.
You know, one could do a lot with a fully automated hospital, controlled by a few technicians and a team of MDs...
Of course, Hospitals are job centers, so that will probably never happen.
The cops put me into their office after seeing me try to buy the matrix game, and pulled out my record. He then asked me to name the rest of the people who were trying to buy it. I didn't tell them, they poured silly putty all over my mouth and stuck a spider into my belly button.
The sad thing is I'm 18. I'm legit to buy it.
But then again, I did notice one of the cops had a RIAA sticker...
For anybody to be able to match the special effects of NGE... And the reason for that is they seem to be designed for anime. By converting them to CGI, you might just make them look stupider.
Another issue is that it could be, in the end, like a comparison between the series and the movies: they change the characters and the general plot so damn much that you start wondering what the writers were smoking. I hope that they don't do that.
Whatever happened to the real action Akira?
One anime I'd absolutly love to see live action is probably ghost in a shell. That one they could do real action, and have it really work. Or metropolis. (Anything but those stupid hairdos, nooo!!!)
I have a friend who worked as a programmer for a packaging firm that every friday had lan parties.
And it was good. Then it changed, and there was much grumbling.
But having stuff like that, gaming fridays for a few hours, would probably really increase worker morale... Unless they're totally getting fragged all the time. Plus, if you designate a certain time for gaming, they will probably waste less time gaming when they're supposed to be working.
Saturday morning flash cartoons and sunday morning webcomics. Or at least that's how it seems. Nobody has time to sit down and stare at a tv, putting up with all those stupid commercials when you can just access homestarrunner.com or whatever and get a pleasant short, minus the commercials (but plus the pop ups...)
Is that they are not making money by doing this. They are pissing people off and wasting their own money. They have an already crappy reputation, and by doing this they just dig themselves into a deeper and deeper hole.
The thing is they have been doing this for quite a while. What you have to do is just type in the name of the song and then 'real.'
The problem with what they are doing is that the fake copies will eventually be deleted or what not. Nobody will upload fake crap if they know it's not real. Unless, that is, the RIAA started buying out college students to start uploading fake music, (It would look better than them persecuting them and turning them into martyrs)and in return they get either money or free memberships to legit P2P networks.
I should shut up now before the RIAA starts coming after me, asking me to upload garbage for them...
I just find it sad that the RIAA continues to sink lower and lower and lower... What next, the replacement for Hilary Rosen being a cross between Darth Vader, Bill Gates, and Cthulu?
Well, this definitly explains why my computer returned to my front porch covered with crap this morning...
"We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will
eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the
Internet, we know this is not true."
Yeah... Well, not quite... Just a bunch of corny fanfics and furry slash fiction. Ew.
Hey, what people loved about the matrix was they could see things that could never happen in the real life... The first one offered bullets stopping...
And the second shows a geek getting laid by a hot chick... Yeah.
Isn't IPv8 the one where, in serial experiment Lain, it connects people's brains? That's the one I'm waiting for.
Thing is, why update to IPv6? What's the main reason for a casual net user who is generally pleased/apathetic (conform consume obey) with the internet as it is to want to switch?

Oh wait, it's already happened.
Does anyone know if they won?
Hey, they ARE in league with those darn commie reds!

So maybe this could make it possible for uber Tribes/Counter strike/quake/other fps junkies to have a chance?

"Why are you breathing so hard? Hey! Stop looking at me like that!"
So would I... With a cohort of mobsters. There are some things that should be forgotten.
Of course you know what this whole thing will do to the rumors of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum's love triangle...
Actually, I know this seems like a stupid suggestion, but starting out with the old sci fi classics can be the best... Battlefield earth, Dune, the forever war, etc.
Or Terry Prachett can be nearly addictive.
Yeah, like students that can get the same music for FREE.
