Note that SABAM isn't the only rightsholder club in Belgium (there apparently is some competition! yay free market!), so dissolving them ought to be an option.
enlighten me, which kind of competition ?
As artist, I do not want to be member of an organization, forcing me outdated rules of promotion and distribution and making it generally impossible to create "free music". Still, I am eager to know which alternative there is, next to Sabam for us Belgians?
As a rot in the IT sector, I've not thought these Acrobat applications where going to create THAT much havoc..
guess I've underestimated the power of bad coding.
So, Adobe, when are we, users, going to have their option of a "Lite" version of those applications? I guess it's about time or didn't we still learn from repeating history?
Don't shoot the hard-drive manufacturers because their products get abused by another totalarian government.
It's still those "for the citizens" which demand these draconian rules of data retention, not Seagate, WD or any company making storage cheaper.
Technology has become to a fase where it's being used against us all, should we therefor blame Intel, Asus and all the mainboard manufacturers in the same time?
Our own (elected) people, with their own agenda, are turning against us in any form of politics; that's where the problems lie at.
Privacy doesn't exist anymore, it's an utopia in almost any part of the world. The only privacy you've really got, for now, is between your ears.
In a lot of countries these medicines are "sponsored" by the government ; maybe it should be the governments job to keep those costs low and stop supporting stupid patents costing human lives on daily base...
The difference is GROUNDING. My studio is connected towards my TV set through an optical connection. A digital connection shares the same ground as all other machines connected to these; creating a humming noise at the analog side of the studio and/or television. With a digital connection this grounding issue is no more.
The output of my studio (sans monitors) goes optically directly to the optical connection of my home surround system.
It's the only way to use vinyl and digital together without bothering of hum-correctors (which sounds essentially worse, instead of purely correcting it the digital way)
I've found out BASF Ceram Guards and some other CD's with the same type of dye survive a lot longer than their counterparts.
The same as those black disks; the audio quality and skips are unexistant while other cd's (with a different color dye?) crack and skip all over; especially at the end of each CD.
This aging does affect the quality of the sound (cracks).
I've got a PC with 9 bays, all filled with fufme's and cameras attached to "participate deep within social networking"...... Gives me an orgy of information!

Your plan would be perfect, if they would know any shame...
The population already spits on this organization, I wonder why ...
Oh, we don't, we just pretend to survive, through our grotesque political system, which works of'course ... ... only for the politicians..
No wonder people start to loose faith in politics and anything attached to it .. our very own culture is at stake by the industry.
This is NOT endorsed by Sabam, but by another organization (Auvibel)
The final result is, that artists don't see a dime of these taxes, while the shareholders only get richer and the artists getting poorer..

No, corporations ain't people, they are businesses. Entities with people responsible for its running.
There is no such thing as privacy in public negotiations. If such would damage a corporation, they apparantly are aiming for the wrong income.
Don't use HDMI!
That will be easy when there are no alternatives but SCART on most of the new television sets..
You're talking in jungle-terms here ...
I've always knew there was something cheesy about Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde!
I'm going to get my Swiss-Belgian passport right now!

This might work better and will be working more efficiently towards our environment:
I want to bet, that company will be having a very ergonomic usage of paper.
.. They wouldn't have stolen it that fast when it had DRM!
(I can't believe I've said pro-DRM crap; my low-uid must be tarnished for life now!)
oh, and that suddenly makes everything to be agreed at ... because of a deal?
Our ministers should have the balls to say NO to such kind of behavior, instead of getting together in bed that fast,
I'm ashamed for this kind of government, which puts commerce in front of human rights ...
Doesn't make me a proud Belgian at all!

Your PC must really smell .. bad!
I don't want to know how it smells, heat up.
Lets me remind those school years all over again!

That vibration shakes the ones and zero's so hard, they get confused and spew out jitter!
I'll have to order a dozen of these cables!
The clone would have an alternate life and different memories ; preserving memories is not very easy as clone; unless we can ghost/mirror people...
Their code looks unsinkable.

Without built-in inverter and an external battery pack an UPS could last for longer; this could fit between the power rails of the PSU.
3 bays could fit a 12V battery without any problems; only safety might be an issue when overloading the UPS.
Apparantly everyone, including the security guard, seems to be blind and ignorant, not knowing that quote(s) shows up on other machines too...
