Now that you have Highspeed it's not good enough. Yyou have to spend hundreds of dollars a month to sneeze it seems. So when is slashdot going to start charging a fee?
It's a Slap in the face to every consumer. "We assume your going to steal music so were are going to just charge you up front". So then by me paying this tax you're telling me i can download what ever i want.. Since i've abviosly arleady paid for it. Go ahead charge me double for the device i won't buy one song from itunes and i'll *steal* all the music i put on the ipod on shear principle, Why not i already paid for it right?
With their "under cover" operations that lead to the arrest and conviction of "sceenies/sceeners", Did they not learn that this isn't how things (copyrighted works) make it to the internet? Maybe a few episodes of welcometothescene.com would put things into perspective for them. Just another Meaningless law in a seee FUD.
The more people buy into this Scheme Sony is trying the more reason they will have to block the consumer from changing the volume above what the Riaa thinks there artists songs should be heard.
They decide they would gear their business to services years ago.. Why is this such a shock now?
Maybe it's even more relevent after the sales of computer devision
I agree with Garcia..
The ISPs will never go for this.. There woudl be A. To much Cost to Inforce this and secondly customers would switch to a new isp.
The Riaa would expect to get a cut of revenue..
When a company doesn't have 100 thosand to throw down on a new server they can lease it over 3+ years thus making payments over the course of that time, therefore keeping more capital around. This is a great way to save in the short term.
REturning the equipment really depends on the lessor. Most lessors will require original or like new packaging ( keep them boxes in teh basement ). Other wise you will have to buy boxes and foam and bubbles, should i continue?
All and All it's a way to spend the same amount over time then up front. With lesser Precentage points.
oh i knew this i'm just getting tired of it.. and as more people like us know this it may stop. Then again M$ constant mess-ups keep ALOT of people in business
Every other Nitch has to use Truth in advertising or face the wrath of the government.
Why is miscrosoft not being held responsible for their blantant lies and misrepresentations.
This is Discusting
So out of all the comprimised machines were people are able to get "customer or student" data.
Which OS ran which database...
I'm not talking about the idiots at choicepoint giving criminals access.
Ok the above subject is just a attention getting but there is a deaper point. If i'm dying of cancer and the only way to stay alive and not be in *too* much pain is to be on a morphine drip. Damit! it's a free country let me go with diginity!
My point exactly..
If i'm using my connection lawfully they shouldn't be able to do anything.
So i guess if you live in utah you have to call your isp and get access to pron?
This coming from the same state that allows you to have more than one wife and children wifes at that..
Utah should be evicted from the union not because of porn but because they are breaking the moral decency of this country..
I just read where they are saying they can raise mp3's because that would put them in line with ring tones at 1.99. Has anyone out there actually paid 2 dollars for a 15 second clip of the song? I know i sure ass HELL have not nor will I. So because we are getting ripped off for ring tones that makes it ok to do it for mp3's as well.
Seriously...
Something needs to change. and NOW!

Take your time and get it right. Do leave things uncheck (buffer overflow) and certainly don't rush. rushing breeds mistakes.

As if we though this *wouldn't* be the case.

The subject says it all. I'm sorry if you can't or don't wish to learn. Get with it or get left behind.
