<Rusty Voice> I remember in my day when a boy could get a job at 12 and retire with the same job at 65. None of this new fangled Screens tell people how long they will be unemployed...</Rusty Voice>
Of course, with the federal do-not-call list, we may just see the end of telemarketers. What about overseas call centres calling you? i have quite a few calls (here in the uk) from Indian call centres which must use Voice over IP to get the call cheaply into the uk phone network.
not buying from someone generally doesent work, firstly the company doesent know thats why your not buying something from them and secondly youll probly forget about this story in 6 months when you buy your new pooter....
Yeah and the sign at my grocery store said "wait here for service", not "wait here for service and don't kill anyone" Beacuse of me my grocery store now has this sign
I beleive the thing the origional poster referred to as DRM is called KIOSK and i also fail to see how its DRM too. It doesent require a remote policy server and the admin is in complete control. Even the sysadmin of a machine isnt in control with DRM. As far as the content provider is concerned the admin is a user and therefore untrusted.Kiosk is like MS Poledit
i think the cd-r tax is for Audio only cdr's . also i wasnt really saying everyone on broadband should have to have it but there would be advantages to packages with it.
Give me a reasonably priced nonDRM product (alternative to kazaa) and i will eat out of their hand. Sure theyre basterds but so are all the other big organisations.Look there http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=49116&cid=4968 478
Right - so ive signed up to PAY for your service so i can do things the legitimate way and you want to restrive me further than i already am.... If the legal service is better than networks like kazaa and at a reasonable price it will succeed without DRM. I want to pay for a legal service, but i dont want drm. Emusic is so far good but doesent offer anything from th big 4 labels so for me its not worth it - beacuse guess who is the majority of music i listen to signed with?.
I know i know, but as soon as you say to mr leet haxoor "This is encrypted you cant copy it" he says "It sure is but i just broke your encryption before you even released it" Their content is already being ripped off, if they make it easyer to pay a small fee than to bother to wait in a que on kazaa people will switch - again i say bundle a basic 10 song a month package with broadband connections.
I was thinking about this problem. Highest bitrate is 320k which you can already get on kazaa. Download at lightening speed - no waiting. Lots of cool features - que downloads to start at night. Maybe even bundling in basic services with broadband connections?
Ok then - when downloading you get to choose the quality, what was that lossless compression format that was an ogg vorbis spinoff i heard of?? Flac?? Some will be unhappy with the quality - they will continue to buy cd's. People who want mp3's accept their quality / Size tradeoff and want the ease of use of playing them in great long lists on their pooters.
That whole post reeks of too much control. p2p thrives beacuse its not controlling. Your not going to make people pay to use something that gives them less (Look at PressPlay). Sure people will copy their downloaded music files to friends, just like they do with their baught cd's. But a lot of people would pay to get high quality , Lightening fast downloads Legally.
ps anyone explain what this no karma bonus button is for? - im sure its in CmdrTaco's journal so ill head over there now
KaZaA's online file-sharing service leapt by a staggering 1,500 per cent between the summers of '01 and '02 Wasnt that around the time napster was shutdown and everyone was looking for an alternative??
Give me a service which has nearly all the songs p2p networks has (ie the big 4 labels and all the smaller ones) for betwen £5 and £10 per month for nonDRM's downloads (ie in mp3 or ogg format) either in unlimited ammount of downloads or limited - 50 songs per month??? and i will pay now
Oh.. I'm sorry, but fonts are a HUGE amount of work. Much more than you or the original poster realize. Please dont get angry, i asked in the first place beacuse i didnt know. Now i have furthered my knowledge and i thank ALL repliers
You cant up the price, the people who can barely afford patents for their ideas wont patent but it wont stop the big guys patenting everything left right and centre. What needs to happen is either a system where you pay more on a sliding scale the more patents you have.Or a system where large companies pay more anyway. Stop penalising the little guy!!
