I would imagine EVERY CD has been ripped and encoded by now. And OOP Vinyl, etc. People are even ripping the audio out of DVD movies.
As far as creating a non-DRM version out of a DRM copy, your method is one way. I'd have to guess though, that going through that much trouble, one would probably rather rip at a higher bitrate right from the source than what the Industry will be offering.
Well, unfortunately, you know the answer to that. They will only allow files that match their server list.
What's silly is that when a site that owns all the content, should just host all the content. The idea behind P2P was a bunch of people that didn't have all the content, can effectively see & access all the content with their own meager means.
What they really need to do to make this work is give you credit when someone downloads a song off of you. This will get some weirdos willing to buy & host lots of content 24/7 in hoping to supplement their purchasing power. You watch - they won't. It's stupid. Just using the buzzword P2P. They're probably not even going to save that much bandwidth because you'll have to call their server anyway to verify everything, being the paranoid bastards that they are. Not to mention the need to be the master seed since this will flop to hell.
Good point. It would violate the Induce act. However, I'm sure the Induce act will be worth their $100 million/yr department and will be worded correctly to absolve them. Infact, they'll just push the fact that as the copyright owner, they're allowed to do this, and these files will be DRM'd. So they'll push against software written by non-copyright holders, or software P2p of non-DRM'd content.
We're a national retail seller (1300 stores) and we lost 15% sales just in the first year of the depression. We fired over 100 people at HQ, 10 from our IT department.
And I can tell you that there is no P2P'ing our product.
That was a stupid part of the article you pointed out. The other 95% of the article does a good job of explaining the actual problem. Bringing up the fact that those WHO STILL HAVE JOBS (key point) hovered at the same level has nothing to do with a recession. You aren't even bothering to bring up other variables. For instance, hundred's of doctor's and lawyers apply for the same job my wife was (Administrative assistance). It's a trickle down world in the job market. Also, people are tight-fisted in a recession with their cash... if they even have jobs.
By the way, RIAA compares their "losses" to their best banner year. They have not been showing rolling statistics like normal businesses would. But then again, they have an agenda.
They also endorse headlines bemoaning things like Eminem's last album was leaked online 1 month before it hit the shelves. But then they don't point out that the album broke the all time first-weekend sales count.
Wrong. It is their fault for going overboard. And it's completely up to them if they want to go this route. Just like any product, it is still up to the consumer masses to make their likes and dislikes of their experience with the product. And if that includes installation hoops...
"Who says there has to be a business model? "
The parent did, when he said that the Grass-roots produced, bittorrent-distributed, creative commons licensed media will replace TV eventually. I don't see that happening unless money is involved.
You have to look a level higher. In other words, "I'll choose an alternative form of entertainment".
Books, DVD box sets of tv shows, DVD movies, theatre, computer games, League sports, poker night, bars, strip clubs, biking, skiing, board games, roleplaying, programming, 2nd job... whatever.
Tivo does not tag commercials, that i know of. Replay TV tried to, from fadeouts, etc. But TiVo would have to write new code for that. I'm afraid... that they just might be tagging it to teh FF button. You're right, that would suck.
They didn't sue a 12 year old, they sued the mom. Talk about spin.
Maybe it's not unrealistic, but it's unlikely since it stated in the article that the RIAA or Hatch got burned when coming up with the idea of software that nuked infringing files. The MPAA said they didn't want to do that, and will get around that by making theirs a voluntary program that parents can download and wipe the children's files.
And what does music CD's have to do with MPAA? Nothing.
Or maybe you meant you DMCA and bypassed the CSS of your DVD's and ripped them onto your hard drive?

I had no doubt that someone out there would have more than him. However, I still find the article a little shaky because it mentioned the guy did it in only 10 months.
That's 12 gigs a day to download, tag, rename, and archive. Plus he has a full time job & family?
Yikes! And here I was shaking my head to the horrors of getting a finger chopped off...

By the way, collecting IS a disease. However, probably not a very harmful one.

Thanks for posting! Interesting to see your home setup. I might take some pointers... currently waiting for other projects to finish and watching the HD costs go down.

I doubt it was him. The person in the article does not have them all online, instead they're archived to DVD. I'm sure this isn't such a rare phenomenon.

Hmmm, I didn't think about that. Might put BayTSP hard pressed to stick to their claims.

Oh.. we got it. We just didn't think it was all that funny.
NO, I think Microsoft said it all with Passport years ago...

I'd give up TV, movies, DVD's, and CD's for one year and give all proceeds to this candidate.
Books, DVD box sets of tv shows, DVD movies, theatre, computer games, League sports, poker night, bars, strip clubs, biking, skiing, board games, roleplaying, programming, 2nd job... whatever.
I'd love to hear the business model behind that. Or is it just a diving platform to get hired somewhere?

Funny but true. I have access to 10 systems here at work, and they can't even give me the same login name!
