But we've all benefited from the file sharing madness. File sharing completely changed the medium in which most people received their music. Instead of spending $2.00 for a MP3 CD AT THE LOCAL COMPUTER CENTER, they would spend $0.00 for it on Kazaa.
This of course launched Itunes and the rest of the online music stores. Now you ask... what does this mean to me?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I myself have a rather large MP3 collection. There are the two hit tracks that we all heard on the radio, and the rest is bullshit. Buffer material to fill up the CD.
Well, much like other folks, I grew tired of being anal raped by the PIRATED CD Industry. I grew tired of shelling out my hard earned cash for buffer material.
File sharing changed everything... and in the end... it's for the better.
Cheers!
makes sense???
the all the BIG BROTHER pressure still can't curb the piracy industry in my part of the world...puting an end to file-sharing is out of the question here...like i download gigs of data thru the free ride im getin on someones wifi...even if i cant do that i can get most of the popular software/MP3 cds at like $2 each....its onlythe uncomon stuff ive gotta download....
But really this is just one example out of a multitude of website that work perfectly under Mozilla. The only sites that give me problems are Microsoft.com, and buymusic.com, neither of which I ever visit....
writing letters dont help.
as a new user to mozilla i love the interface specially the tabs n stuff and feels gr8 surfing slashdot on it buy the bottom line is that slashdot aint gonna help me make money...its the yellow pages....so i might as well switch back to IE........congrats bill uve won again....

Thats what id do if the anti-piracy laws get enforced strictly in the part of the would i live in.
i bought win xp and office2k3 for like US$2.5 each......
now if i had to pay like $500 per system then id rather switch to linux and take gr8 pain in teaching all the non techie local staff in my office the tiring user interface of linux....cant afford the kind of money to buy genuine M$ OS.....sorry bill..!!!!
ie: If you compare windows against all operating systems out there (your microwave is using one, your TV, your VCR, stereo, for certain your satellite receiver, etc, etc) there's no way they could even have much more than 5 - 10% of the market.
if that is the case then apple is a bigger bully than M$.....
i suppose the % of mac hardware running an os made by mac would be.....like 100% whereas M$ musy be runing on only like 70 to 80% ofthe pcs.....
imagine buying a smartphone with a built in camera and we hear that the phone company is takin over the market share of cameras so its not allowed to be included in future models....
