What about all those people on the internet using Napster who have never heard of some of the bands out there which have involvement with record labels and the RIAA? What if that person had no clue who Metallica was because it was some 14 year old girl into country music or something and downloaded it thinking it was just another one of those unsigned bands out there in the world that you are able to distribute legally on the net? Could this work in a person's defense, especially since they never saw any copyright disclamer to begin with. It would only be the distributor that the RIAA could go after and not everyone who downloaded the MP3. The user was probably mal-informed, or could claim that defense, especially if they don't already own any Metallica CDs. Since Napster is worldwide, there are a lot of labels out there which people haevn't heard of and there is no way out there to really figure out if a band is signed or not without spending time in the search engines finding out. For instance, In Australia, there's Killing Heidi which goes through Wah Wah Music and is distributed by Warner Music. Most people here in the United States don't know about the band. What if the band compiles a list of everyone who downloads their songs and turns it in demanding that these people get banned? How could these people have possibly known? It's not played mainstream in the US. Anyone have any insight into this?
Hmmm...this is the first post yet it's marked as 'redundant' yet it's informative and other people further down who say 'exactly the same thing' get a score of 1 or more. Things aren't right. The moderators must be on crack.
Browsing through the http://www.tv/images/ directory I came across a price chart for how they determine the starting auction value for the domain names. You can check it out here: http://www.tv/images/pricing.gif.
I used to have Parsec and many TI99/4A machines, still have about 4 machines rotting in the basement. The only problem is that TV adapter kept going out on me. One day I went and tried hooking one of those NES RF connectors up to the TI99 because there is a port in the back that matches and too my amazement, the NES RF switch actually works with the TI for the video connection to the TV. Any NES/SNES/N64 RF adapter should work for hooking the TI up to the television. I don't remember if sound worked or not but the video sure did. You can still play Parsec after all. Best of all, the one by Nintendo actually hooks up to the cable and not, don't know the name of it, the two screw setup. Do correct me if I'm wrong, this was about 5 years back.
I got ICQ 99a working under Wine 990925 or some release similar using the '-winver win95' argument. I got it to start up and everything. I could look at the history and mess around, but ICQ would not connect to the server. It seems like ICQ99a at least is getting close to working stages, just need to get it to connect to the server. Before I tried ICQ99a, however, I made sure that before I closed ICQ down in Windows for the last time I made sure it wasn't docked on the side (I don't think Wine implements that yet) and rather than being anything on the task bar not working I think the problem was more that it might have been docked on the side of the screen.
