Ive read many articles on how the introduction of cheap software based home recording setups like Pro Tools will free artists to record and produce thier own music and sell it directly to thier listeners cutting the big music companies out of the picture. I havent however heard much discussion on how artists plan to fund thier own world tours, or even fund just a US tour. How about the artist funding the marketing, mass production, and distribution of thier music? I could see an already established artist being able to fund some of this by themself to a certain extent, but would one failed album completly wipe them out? Thats one thing the big music companies have going for them. They can absorb failed albums, infact many of them.
They have very special secret state of the art ways of breaking most encryption these days, expecially since the patriot act. They secretly arrest the person/s involve and tie them to a chair in a little room that doesnt exist on any architecture drawrings. Then some guy breaks the person/s arms until they just tell them the contents of the encrypted msg. You only get two chances. There ready for steganography too, and they put on the rubber gloves for that one, and I doubt they use vasoline folks.
Please ignore that reply. Its just my bitchy ex-girlfriend. Im sorry honey were just not getting back together, its over. We had some great times, like when I use to give you those morning dutch ovens to wake you up, we laughed about those forever. Its time for us to move on, your starting to scare me. P.S. tell your mom im sorry I pulled her wig off and set it on fire at her birthday party. I thought I was saving her life. I hope you find someone, love ya.
I agree...there are some great lossless compression encoders out there that are even playable in thier compressed form....Monkey's audio being one..shorten being another...while I agree it wouldnt be practical for the masses to d/l a 25mb single song...for quite a few people its not that big of a deal...considering the people who will be attracted to these online music services are going after one song on an album....so downloading one 25mb file isnt a big deal...the people who are interested in the entire cd will still just bye the cd....at 99 cents a song...its about the same price plus you get perfect quality and cover art
What a coincidence...didnt China just say very recently they were going to the moon to see if they could mine resources? Dont bother setting up an embassy on the moon China....because oops that pesky metric system always throws us off.
"Please choose the form of your destructor"....turns out its a 7 foot muscular brad Pitt look-a-like who plays the acoustic guitar and sings like Dave Matthews...he charms all our woman away into the desert and we never see them again...we should have seen this coming
I dont know much about game engines, but I wonder if all games created using the Unreal/Quake ect engines must be shooters? Could it be used to make a whole new Myst/Riven type of game? Would be interesting. I miss those great Zack McCraken type games.
The people who read that kinda stuff probably see the material being so non-mainstream,underground, not well known,hard to find and get as part of the interest in it in the first place. This is definetly not a marketing problem. The people who want it know exactly where to get it.

There will be drawers filled with these things by the end of the school year.
