I have a ton of music from iTunes purchased at a reasonable price and structured so I can swap out the music I want on call. No DRM needed. Good article, sir.
No really, you're full of it on the DRM issue. It works because some paid rep in an organization produces a report that says it works. (Essentially) rootkitting customers computers without their awareness isn't going to increase your sales and can place your company in a state of liability if enough people understand what you have (most likely) done to their computing system. Under many current banking laws, a good class action could destroy most EULAs and the mythical protection some suit believes it provides. DRM is a poor choices for rights management. If anything, it puts you in the rear of the competition for distribution models.
Even if that happens, copyright isn't worth it. Copyright is evil, and everyone who isn't an imbecile knows this.
Copyright isn't as evil as those stooges as Disney that bribed the federal government to nullify our Constitutional rights to information. When I start living to 500, I'll believe that a 200 year copyright length is valid.
I was ready to buy five copies of this for the kids. When I saw the DRM analysis as to what it did to your OS I never purchased it. I heard this a lot with other friends and peers. Never have played the game past the free teasers they had online.
Since when has the artist made money from the music industry. The number of artists that make ANY financial gain from their albums wouldn't even register on a statistics meter. Artists make money from shows because the fucking CARTEL the government has promoted uses contract and tax law to lock them into the well establish monopoly for distribution.
Are these cops from San Diego? My wife had a bank call her and the cops that they were HOLDING the thief trying to cash one of her checks he washed. The police said $500 (the amount being fraudulently submitted) wasn't enough to roll a car on a thief the bank guard had handcuffed. In the end, the bank had to threaten to sue the cops to get a response.
I find this repeated constantly throughout society. I was in a similar situation and kicked out of GATE for completing all of the modules available and then bouncing off the ceiling because I was unbearably bored. Instead of helping me, I was told to be quiet and just do my work, which I had already done. My reflection on this now makes me think that there were fundamental conflicts having women teachers that expected boys to simply accept social norms that women desire. The system is hypocritical. Improvement of our children is the last goal on the list of any teacher union, in my opinion.
Yep, keep talking Democratic Party line. Like anything, honest conversation never enters into your mantra. Don't like the Civil Rights Act? String up some more darkies like your forefathers did.
Sure AC. Stop stealing trillions of dollars and forcing the world to pay for (at least) one family's greed. If you need education simply Google Armand Hammer and spend a month of two reading. Don't blame me/us for your lack of historical context. Funny how "Cap and Trade" turned into make Al and his multiple non-convicted drug addicted family billionaires. P.S. I'm sure the Kulaks would appreciate your abject cowardice.
No, the spacer POV is we need to get away from the control freaks on this planet before we all die. For example, somehow the answer to global warming has morphed into a ponzi scheme that seems bent on making Al Gore and his fellow cohorts as wealthy as possible.
Should there be any doubt that city officials, their departments, their families, and pretty much anyone that bribes.... err, contributes to their campaigns will receive the transponder that causes the system to ignore that extra `15 MPH over the limit?
Really so much bullshit. If fusion reactors could be built for $100 a plant the collective government energy collective would still outlaw them and get Jane Fonda to cry like a little bitch about creating black holes on Earth. Seriously, it's all rigged bullshit.

Sorry I'm out of mod points. How anyone cannot see this correlation is amazing to me. The Australian government is about to boot its people down more.

Yep, try copying a few petabytes. There are still barriers. :)
Most artists still died in poverty because statistically, their work is crap.

It's cheaper to buy the series at the end of the season than buy the channel packages forced upon us by monopolies called cable companies.

Good. Maybe we can finally convince the jerks in government to get off this rock.
Where you come from that may work. Try that in any state of the USA and you'll receive a minimum of 11/29 in jail, mate.

Because current methodology in America is working so well we have to import our freaking IT staffers. Sheesh.

Contributing factor, I agree. But ignoring the wanton roaming warlords could be hazardous to your health, too.
I don't disagree with your premise, but evacuating North and South America when Yosemite pops may be problematic.

Just have Jay-Z and Beyonce divert PAC money to supporting a different kind of show. Now you can tell everyone that joining means a free trip to Cuba!

What? You mean that there are academics out there that have bias and agendas? Whodda thought?
You expect the workers to gobble up those bonuses? What would the masses do with hundreds of millions of dollars?

by Einstein he meant Stephen Hawking. Yeah.
