I think part of the problem is that people have a set budget of what they're willing/able to spend on buying music. For teenagers, this may be in the tens of dollars a year. If this buys them 20 songs a year, they're likely to pirate those other ones they can't afford. If this buys them 400 songs a year, they're much less likely to pirate.
In the end, though, I can't see the recording industry making much more than they currently do, piracy or not.

It's cheap that it's only web comics. They don't have to compete with the heavy hitters like Mark Trail and Prince Valiant. I wish we could get those twice a day. Talk about funny!
I wonder how many of those users were actually made aware of open source by Firefox, and how many still remain in the dark about open source. My fiancee was using it for months before she finally got around asking about how it was free and where it came from.

Condors. If we created a flock of condors, you wouldn't have anything to say about it.
Would that make meta-moderators watchers watching the watchers watching the watchers watching the watchers watching the watchers?
Nasa is having bandwidth problems... let's post links to them on Slashdot!
How are WASPs supposed to get the kids to soccer practice in that?
And 12 summary posts summing up what all the responses are going to be. And 1 meta-summary post, summing up the summaries.
I like the link to the site we can go to so our IPs can be listed on these logs :)
Last I checked, "IT" wasn't a major.
My alma mater offers a Ph.D. in Information Technology

Great, another annoying dog asking me what I want to search for.
Even the parent post gets immature treatment, because it sucks.

In one case it's advocating something for the benefit of society- open standards, software options, freedom to use and modify software
In the other case, it's advocating something for the benefit of a company- more money, vendor lock-in, closed standards, closed source
I fail to see how this is a double standard. This goes beyond picking one piece of software over another.
I don't think they can call this guide "concise" until they address these gaping holes...

In that case the code is misleading.
They've had sites up saying they were planning on doing this for at least a year. I wonder if it'll actually pan out now.
Ah, but does it use new nanotechnology methods? I didn't think so.
Well isn't this great? Now I need to go buy a new washing machine before July.
The visible stars were presumably in our galaxy, much closer than the dark galaxy.
I love the picture of the night sky with a big circle around a nondescript part. I looked at it was like "oicic."
If developers advise people to use the beta, doesn't that defeat the purpose of calling it a beta?
Yeah, should just be a matter of running more power to them, right? Oh...
