Pay for email..FU
I pay for email every time I open Outlook...
I pay every time I hear about a new flaw in your Swiss cheese software that allows spoofing, and these Trojan viruses to take over Aunt Betty's XP computer (without her knowledge) that sends most of this spam.
BILL, Spend your own (MS) money to fix YOUR problem that is causing us all grief.
This would totally screw up the internet.
But at least I would have a good excuse for not responding to some of boorish work e-mails.....
"OH sorry I could not send the timeline; I did not have an e-stamp"

Why should they have to do it...
Using their logic, shouldn't the manufacturer of a gun that kills someone be accountable?
How about printing press equipment manufacturers, are they liable if someone uses their equipment to print out illegal pr0n?:)
Apple is run by an egomaniac asshole thief that stole all of "his" revolutionary ideas from Xerox in the first place. So this latest development should really be no surprise to anyone.
I am sad to see MP3 go, I have used them to disribute my music.
I know I am gonna get/. and the site is in Beta but you have to do to stop the man =;) How about an OPen Mp3.com?
I hate the RIAA and as an artist I despise the Pimp/Hoe relationship they have established with artists. So it is time to put my money where my mouth is...
uberlabel.com
If you have any ideas or you want to help with the project please contact me...I am hoping to make this project as open as possible, so if you can please contribute anyway possible. We need moderators, artists, designers, programmers and (I hate to say it) Lawyers.
This is a free service for the artist. Lo-bitrate Songs will be downloadable by listener and free to use anyway they see fit in a non commercial manner to swap and enjoy on their MP3 players etc...(Released under the EFF and or FMP).
Artists will make money off of hi-bitrate downloads.... The $ model as of now is 80% for the artist and 20% for Uberlabel, songs will be sold for.50 cents. I heard on NPR (through/.), iTunes who charges.99 per download that 80% goes to the label and 20% is split between Apple and the artist... so the artist makes.10 per download and the label makes.80 (I consider this rape. It is like a sick pimp/hoe relationship with no respect for the artist.)
I propose.40 for the artist per song and Uberlabel will make.10 (the same as Apple so this should cover our site expenses, bandwith etc...) I am not looking to get rich off this, but we need to cover the bandwith and hardware. As of now it is costing me about a $100 per month for hosting (dedicated box)+ a couple of other expenses...(but it is all good, I hate the RIAA, and by not giving them $100 month for their overpriced CDs I can get he ball rolling.)

Wow are right ;)

I am still left wondering why Woz would leave such a excellent company?
Please educate me
It is a great point. I am going to start using WASTE to trade music files so AOL will get sued by the RIAA
