The people who want to use samples of led zep recordings are prevented from making their music. It's not "their music" it's Led Zeppelins. Zeppelin has every right to preserve copyright and make money off their efforts. People who argue otherwise just like their torrents and are willing to rationalize away every semblance or opposition to preserve the free ride. I am good with people wanting to stick it to the record labels who leech from the artists, but condemning Jimmy Page for earning a living off his life's work is idiocy.
I cant think of any intelectual property that has lasted 200 years. for that matter, I cant think of many bridges, dams, or sewers that have lasted over 200 years without some sort of upgrade. This guy seems to be in fantasy land.
My 8 year old understands it perfectly well. the world is not as simple as it was in 1977 and the kids simply understand more. Given a choice my kids prefer the new movies to the old ones. Part of this is the flash, but its also because there is more for them to dig into.
dont get me wrong, I prefer the old movies far more. I just dont agree that the new ones are trash. If episode 1 was the first movie I am quite certain they would be lauded as great sci-fi fun. Unfortunately they have a legacy that is almost impossible to surpass. The only reason people say that are not "entertaining" is because of their passion for the format amd style of the originals and the memories of how they felt when they first walked out of the theater as a young teenager - something you arent going to be able match when you are in your 30s.
I have ben a huge fan of the SW movies since I was a kid and saw them i a theater. I followed the universe and looked forward to the new movies.
The general story form the original 3 movies is rediculously thin. The original Matrix put more plot in that single film than was in ep4, ep5, and ep6 combined. That didnt make them suck... it made them simple and fun.
In the prequels, he added a story line, political complexities, and actual character development - all of which was completely abscent in the originals. While they may not be "better" in the sense that the style changes made them mode fun to watch, but they are certainly not garbage. They are simply different types of movies. They only get condemned because of peoples memories of how much they loved SW back in the late 70s and early 80s.
SW has always been made for 12 year olds to love. The new movies accomplish exactly the same thing the originals did... only this time you arent 12.
Its a catch 22. In order to fund the game development they need to sell games and there aren't enough people wlling to pay for linux games to justify the development. Without enough games being developed for linux, there wont be enough people converting to linux for gaming to justify the expense of development for new titles.

Low cost of entry is what makes TF2 great. Very accessible yet it doesn't gimp vet players.

my biggest complaint about GNU/linux is that half of my typos are commands.

Round and round we go.
I have to admit, when companies act like this in the face of adversity it makes me want to buy their stuff.
This is getting insane. It's sad that the whole world seems to revolve around blame and accusations rather than actually DOING or MAKING something.
It does counter SCO's idea that OS stands to ruin the economy. The backlash if they try to enforce it is a different issue entirely.
Much 3 to you Jason, but sadly the patch is about 3 months to late :(
