This means that my great grand childrens' lunar snow cones bought at LunarDisney(tm) will cost 10 times as much! We shouldn't stand for this highway robbery!
That's just with the initial material testing. I imagine that the density could go up dramatically with further testing. How about 50gb in that same 5x1x1 rod? And no moving parts!
New funding scheme: Web Enabled Blood Donation!
Rather than be forced to endure pop-ups, banner ads and the like, users can opt to connect themselves to a blood donation system that draws a small amount of blood and sends it to the users local Red Cross as payment for viewing a site! It's also a great way to limit the time you spend online... Too much and the user passes out!
Hey, it's better than staring at 'YOU MAY ALREADY BE A WINNER!' all day.
The RIAA is trying to say that p2p clients like Kazaa have no legitimate use; only illegal ones. The whole 'corporate file sharing' hoopla Locutus is trying to pass off is to start off right away with a seemingly legitimate use, so the whole thing can't be shut down just because people share music or software.
The only thing that worries me is this quote from their FAQ:
"Locutus uses a centralized database to inform Locutus nodes about each-other."
If they do come under legal fire, its possible to shut the whole network down, ala Napster. This turned me off to the network right away.
I agree! If it weren't for sites like MP3.com, my band Flailing Kitten would have never gotten off the ground; the 'industry' would never accept it.:) The RIAA is afraid of losing control of music in general and the profits that follow; that's what's got them so scared.
If I DO get a check from the settlement, I'm framing it and putting it on my wall. For once the record companies are paying ME!:)
(Nevermind the various p2p networks... They're for sharing non-copyrighted material of course.)

Instead of burning our porn to CD or DVD, we will soon be able to burn our porn to a device using this material? Excellent.

Something you describe HAS been thought up already... It's called life.

Its great that we're getting some anime in mainstream US theaters. Now we need some of the DBZ movies. :)
