surely the real question is:
How do we build a model so that new and established artists are funded by their fans _directly_, as opposed to through the middlemen/leeches/cartel operators that are the RIAA.
Someone write an article on that please!
they're playing dumb. the odds of someone being dumb enough to pay for 'kazaa gold' or whatever it is...
if youre reading this listen carefully.
if a clown won a 'lawsuit' against you for $$$, would you pay him?
of course not! for fucks sake, the RIAA are a bunch of 60-year old guys running around trying to figure out what this whole 'internet' thing is.
I Swear to god my 12-year old cousin just rang me to say he heard you can get free porn on the internet...and would i show him how to do it.
another bright idea from the fat-ass executives who make their unearned income from the work of music artists.

"A study in March by the General Accounting Office found that KaZaA would be effective for someone looking for child pornography. The agency searched for files associated with child pornography, such as "incest" and "underage." It did not actually download the files it found, but it determined that 42 percent of them had titles associated with pornographic images of children."
so someone done a search on kazaa, and read the titles of the files. and this is what a newspaper article is based on? every dumbass out there knows that at least 70% of all kazaa files are fake/misnamed (ie different than what they purport to be).
the nyt is over. i would rather read my local newspaper than the kind of ameuterish trash that fills nyt pages these days.
there is nothing to "worry" about. if u had half a brain you would realise that britain/europe doesnt have copyright legislation remotely similar to the dmca/other riaa-written laws.
im going to uni in sept, and my 7gig ogg collection will be available to all.
"its situations like this which make me think that having them forcing updates remotely to PC's may not be a bad thing"
trust me, they are a bad thing.
these people pushed through the absurd copyright laws we now have. but fuck them, i will sign up to their service, rip the vid/audio, and proceed to share.
exist without the riaa. so we could never get the retailers to see sense...
In any case, the middle-men of the music industry (ie record shops) are not gonna be around in 20 years...it'll be the artists selling direct to the public.

no point going above 224, if you ask me (tho i encode at 320, just to be 'better').

someone ripped it (guess they must have had it on vhs) and posted it somewhere. it was damn funny...
mod up...

like anyone in their right mind would take these jokers seriously. final judgement: "you have to pay $10000 per song" me: yea...ok.

pub music can still be a nice surprise, sometimes. always worth swapping the odd night of file searches for a night in a pub.
don't buy overpriced CDs. download music from soulseek or piolet.
people look for the shit beneath the shine.

considering that he has 50 fake IDs in his run-down house, Tyler is just _one_ of the names he uses...i'd bet that he had a fake passport.
it 'might be' Jack (all those stories written in _first-person_ in the basement...)
i spent 14 years of my life paying for filler album after filler album.

"I feel raped."

but it cant have been nice.
and why the hell is my karma bad? what have i done???
"That's ok, keep your money and I'll settle my claim via kazaa."
i think i have a new sig.
well youre funding this war (taxpayer?), so i think the US public should be made to see what their money is buying.
not only did the US fail to take action against Pinochet, they um...created him in the first place. Just as they created Saddam.
