$15 cd??? not the last time i checked... it's more like $0.50 for the artist for a $17-19 cd....
other than that I whole heartedly agree. The Recording Industry is Obsolete and they dont freaking realize it yet, or mabye they do and they are trying to sue everybody until nobody can afford a computer so that p2p stops... or mabye they really like paying obsene legal fees and sueing their clientel
Firstly, the degrees offered by many schools are in essance worthless. The very best IT people I know and have known are not certified nor do they have degrees in any IT. This does not mean that anybody uncertified is good at IT, but I dont believe that the degrees in CS or MIT would help. IT is not about what you know, because learning is easy, but about HOW you think. I have started an IT business in the southeast and I have had to let some people go, although they had all the certifications, but they couldn't do the work without someone holding their hand through the process.
Second, Learn about business. Far too many IT people who are fantastic at hardware/software get screwed because they do not understand business and how it works. learn the game then play by the rules until you can afford to break them.
This is very similar to what happend with hollywood with the invention of tv. pre affordible tv's everyone who could went to the movies all the time. when tv prices became affordable more and more people bought them, and more and more programing was avalible. With the advent of the internet and affordible decent connection speeds the whole media industry is once again reeling. they simply dont have a business model that allows them to keep up with changing technology, so they are trying to effectivly put a lid on the new technology with legal matters. the problem is you never can put jack back in the box. instead of wasting millions sueing their customer base, they could be remodeling their business so that when the next new way for media to be distributed rolls around they can take advantage of it and the current new distribution methods.
that and it seems that most music released in the last few years has really sucked.

Hmm, seems to me that these super rechargable batteries might just be useful in stun guns and other non leathal weaponry.
