Why the hell do they even try anymore... I think that they should just all commit mass suicides and the world could work in open source. I hate how they think that they actually make a difference. If they were to merely lower the price and take the first step in this inflation bullshit they could actually compete with all other Operating Systems in the future. At the rate they're going they will keep raising their prices more than the goddamn yearly income of a person. What's the next OS going to cost? $500... After that $1000? $5000? They are going to have to initialize action because software piracy is only going to rise with prices. More and more people are less and less sensitive about whether they are going to simply download it or save for a year and buy it... Also, with faster download speeds, it is going to be all that much easier.
Just wondering if there could be a way... maybe putting a warning as a file name, description or even on the file (video/audio) itself.
Obivously flawed, but cool nonetheless ^_^
So if I make a movie and/or song and copyright it, then the RIAA downloads it thinking it is illegal, could i get $150,000 or more for them downloading my stuff?

This is definately one of those shiny little things that you keep around as long as it takes the corporate world to release one with a camera.
