What I don't understand, why aren't people copying their own CDs (backing up there media, it's legit in Canada)? I understand the logic behind the site, but why support a system that doesn't pay the bands?!? (I understand they also don't pay the labels, but I don't care about that) Is copying data that difficult for many people?!? Perhaps I should write another article which explains to the user how to do this? I had a previous article published on MP3Newswire.net, but that was written in or around 2000, and since I can't contact the MP3Newswire site Op's, I can't update the article (using EAC with Lame to copy audio into VBR). Or perhaps people are too cheap to buy their music used?!?
>> The Artist Formerly Known as Prince should know that with behavior like this he will soon be the Artist Formerly Available in Record Stores.
I don't get it, doesn't Prince own his own music?!? Somehow, that statement makes no sense. All Prince is doing, in a sense, is finding another way to get his music out there. He'll never lose the option of not having his music in a mom and pop record store, and even if he does, he can sell his product thru his website, for instance. Why are the labels thinking from an old school perspective?!? I guess NoFX were correct, Dinosaurs Will Die!!!
If the person got nailed for video piracy, then how come: He added the judgment would have a deterrent effect, a view endorsed by industry watchdogs such as the Hong Kong branch of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry." Unless they use the case as example, perhaps I read that part wrong.
I bought Ep. 1, and just like Half Life 2 Episode 1 it never worked. Now with all the lead programmers working for other companies, I now realize why they took off. Yes, there game was CRAP!!!
According to the "Things Code Doesn't Do" he mentions that binary is dead because he doesn't know anyone who programs like that. So does this mean that 8088/8086 code isn't used anymore?!?
Sorry, I don't get this. In the article, it is written: (Kazaa) designed the software in such a manner as to create a shared files folder and make that folder available to anyone using Kazaa, while at the same time failing to make the user aware that it had done so (Complaint, par. 36-37)
OK, so unless the complatent (sp?) just downloaded music without copying music files to the shared directory, then the RIAA is on strong drink. However, if the complatent (sp?) copies files to that subdirectory to share with other like-minded users then they knew what the software did and they are (non-legally) full of s***.
Why don't they run Windows 2000 on them?!? Wouldn't that use less memory?!? It seems stable enough to run (I still run Win2K, I used to run XP), and perfect for the OLPC systems, though M$ wants it to run the latest OS, bloody EG0's.
Wow and about time they offered the service online. I've always wondered when they were planning to make the step and offer it online for people, this can only mean that the company is greedy or there not making as much money as the investors predicted so this is how they can make more money. I've always wondered when they were planning to offer the service online, still if I wanted to actually listen to Howard Stern online I'd just download it from the newsgroups, right?!?
Out of all the new platforms that have been released since the days of XBox and Playstation 2 (up to this point) I'm totally waiting for the WII, that's so neat what they can do with the joystick, I wanna golf and play swords, in a sense, that platform will keep ya in shape.
OK, so wait till some genius makes a case out of semi-hard but bounceable rubber and sells it as an accessory. So what if it's made of possibly-shattering plastic, the rubber would take most of the stress if the unit gets accidently dropped or kicked around. This might have been brought up before, I haven't checked the comments. BTW: It supports radio, COOL!!! You should always have a portable radio with you at all times just incase your in a disaster.

Wait a sec, I thought the MP3 groups were already copying the audio from DVDs, and have been for years?!?
I don't get how anyone can boast about a company called Microsoft which steals their ideas (isn't Windows based upon piracy?!?), then again I don't work for Microsoft, and never would want to. Bad enuff I run Windows as is.
But then I realized that I never usually watch the movie more then once so I'd rather rent the movie and hopefully watch it. Though I have a nice DVD movie collection though, including all 6 Star Wars movies. I was planning to collect all the Star Trek movies onto DVD eventually, but what's the point, I rarely watch the Star Trek movies I bought on VHS tape as is.
I wonder if it's the same video that Much Music up here in Canada showed a few days ago. It's a good example of releasing work that could possible rip the artist off (these people need to get paid for their hard work right?!? I mean someone needs to pay the video director who charges too much for work that any band could do).

Yes, that's the downside, but everyone's looking for a free lunch it seems.

And I thought the University of Washington had a pair. :(

Seriously, the feeling of being disjointed went away. Alzheimer's?!? I must remember to stop drinking out of aluminum cans then.
I used to suffer with Deja-Vu years ago, but after awhile, it stopped happening to me. Bizarre.
As long as Windows 2000 SP4 isn't turned off, I'm happy!!! :)

Whoa, that's a nasty looking bug, but does it enter the stomach thru your belly button?

$150 pounds should come out to about $400 Canadian.
