how can anyone own something that is broadcast? Music is simply vibrations passed threw the air. Once you put something out in the public anyone can use it or record it. Say you record some street performers music, say they were doing a cover of the Ramones. Do the Ramones own that unique patern of vibrations because it has a similar flavor to there own patern of vibrations? do those street performers own your recording that was effected by their fevorish pounding of garbage cans? does anything those vibrations effect become their property? Once you buy a book can't you read it to anyone? what if they recorded you reading that book and distributed it? what if they distributed that book in digital form? its all information. No body owns the way a waterfall sounds! no one owns the sound a garbage can makes no matter what pattern its pounded in. No one owns the sounds coming out of a speaker no matter how much money some fucking idiot spent copy-protecting the medium that directs its pounding. If you wanted it to stay in your control you shouldn't have broadcasted it! If you don't want people mocking you don't talk. Even if you record your unique patern of vibrations and sell it arn't you in effect giving up any right to it only belonging to you? if you want something to be kept un-copied don't distribute it.
Thats a good idea in theory but i don't think such attributs would be restrictive enought to id a song. Just good enough to ID a fake if many attributes are used ie (avg tone, bpm, etc) but then some1 could just feed these into some custom noise generator and get some noise with the same attributes...
a bit off the thread but anyways...
Of coarse the RIAA doesn't want to change, there happy with their artificialy inflated profit margins. Of coarse OIL COMPANIES don't want to change with there choke hold on energy spending. Thats why we still are driving gasoline cars with CD Players. Change for either of these entities means smaller profit margins or annihilation altogether. With the billions these corporations have stockpiled they are taking our freedoms (by bribes) in order to protect their exsistance. but this is only understandable. whouldn't you, given that situation do the same to protect your fortune? the problem is in our goverment system ie exceptance and expectance of bribery by these aging corporations!
While downloading System of a down - Steal this Albulm i found many many fakes usualy w/ a stupid extention to the file name such as (REAL VERSION) or (THIS ISN'T FAKE!!!4AX0R). once i found the real name extention (a 3 letter comb like "dtr") i just did a search for those 3 letters and downloaded the entire albulm w/o a problem.
