Yes he would pay for a performance of said data. A recording is not a performance, and should not be construed as such. It is an ad, like a billboard promoting a performance. And we should get paid for distributing them:-)
We need to get to a system that deals with plagiarism. Distribution is no longer a matter worth getting an ulcer over. Plagiarism is the only legitimate issue when dealing "intellectual property". Everything else is simply a matter of greed. What the market will bear... "What the market will bear" should NOT be codified into law.
but ol' boy has it covered. Suffice it to say that both morality AND philosophy are biological. Everything about us is biological. It puts the "grrr" in girl, baby.
Its DRM kept it from becoming anything more than a blip. They have a much cooler toy (though a bit pricey, and where's the digital in?) now. The minidisc serves a different purpose than the iPod. It can record in the real sense, but the DRM prevented you from making any real use out of it. They seemed to have lightened up a bit. Where can you plug the mixer into an iPod?
Heh, really. It reminds of how the car dealers would and buy and sell amongst each other to show how "good" business is. That why you gotta buy this great bargain right now. It won't be here next week. They don't tell you it's two lots down the street. It's ok. You didn't want that oil burning piece of junk anyway.
They can get paid when they PERFORM! NOT by selling their demo disks. I know the law says differently, but playing a recording does NOT constitute a performance, any more than playing a movie of me fixing a car fixes the car. How did we let that happen? The concept is utterly absurd.
The internet is the single greatest thing to happen to content since Gutenberg.
Yes,well, we all know how the distribution industry reacted to Gutenberg. That's what started this whole mess. Copyright exists to protect the distributors. It has nothing to do with the creators, while their little smokescreen about "protecting the artist" is just that.
Oh I'm sure they could have the government put up some barriers. Like some new impossible to pass safety standards. For an analogy, see how the entertainment industry keeps new talent off the air...unless their agent is a Scientologist or something. They successfully killed the minidisc before it could hit the market. There are lots of ways of keeping something off the market.
So you did read the article and the summary, you didn't even get the JOKE? Sir, I salute you, for you are a true....er....uh....something or another.(?)
are "off the books" distributors, but make no mistake, they pay a big cut back to the "owners" for the privilege of doing business with them, as I said here. Copyright regulates who gets to distribute information, and creates a nice black market like any other prohibition. Which is actually controlled by the industry itself...until the damn internet and its P2P came along, and started blowing its cover.

And not only that, the difference is that Orwell was warning against Government. This is the corporate sector...
It never occurred to me that there was a difference.

The most amazing thing is that both happen to fall on the solstice. How often does that happen?
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
but have a cup of cheer
Yeah, she tried to do the same thing to Ted Stevens
don't respect nothin'. - Santino 'Sonny' Corleone
I guess it's only natural that they would have podcasts
All right! Break out the 12 gauge and ax. Another trailer park war.
What are they going to get?
A license to use Linux?
You kinda had to be there (Hope you're familiar with it)
BTW thanks for the info

That's nice and all, but what are all those little circles, lines, and arrows for?

with preserving digital data, is it really the medium we should be using for archival purposes?"
Of course not. Vinyl is still the only way to go, baby. It has proven to be extremely stable.
If he had it this good, he would have been able to cross-dress in public, and he wouldn't get a second glance.
...but somebody has to pay for the music.

100% Overrated
WooHoo! Drones with points! Way to hit a nerve!
Lastly, how many of us have our warez shipped to us?
They're also training the dogs to sniff out those new watermarks over the internet.
Big corps have way too much power of late.
Hmmm, where do you suppose they get it from? Government? And where do they get theirs from?
