  1. Re:Why did they have to pick share-alike? on Creative Commons Moving Images Winners · · Score: 1

    Guilty here - Jim from the band Jim's Big Ego. We presented our entire cd under - Share Alike Attribution NonCommercial License. Then I think I put Mix Tape up alone under Share Alike Attribution only - I used to think music and software were sort of the same - but as the discussion ripens, I don't think they are any more. I think loops and beats are, but not so much whole songs. - Jim

  2. Get ready for the $800 cd. on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    Sounds like if this happens, the Recording Industry will start selling cds for massive amounts of money to account for communal ownership of the cds. Kind of like what software companies do.

    >sure a loyal fanbase of mac users will pay, they pay for anything made by Apple.

    Why do you think THAT is?

    Brain Damage? Ignorance? Stupidity? Or maybe they offer a good product? Maybe they think of the consumer as something other than their enemy that needs to be ensnared & manipulated? Perhaps they actually try to please the consumer, offer them something convenient & effective.

    I'm getting kind of sick of mac bashing. Think about what you are saying.

    p2p has been the easiest way to get music up to now. I've tried it, and itunes is far easier and worth the money. No, I'm not rich. But it's still worth 2/3 the price of a cd to download what I want & know I'm supporting the artist and be guaranteed of the product I get.

    I can also think of 20 ways they can offer a better product with slight modifications to the current model. Sucks to be you if your OS never gives you this kind of service.

    Don't come crying to me.

    was started in 1989 - Software Tool & Die - now known as the world right here in my neighborhood - Brookline MA in the Peirce Building - a center of American Commerce in the 1800s. It was not started in 1990 as said on the map - Someone apologize to Barry!
