Old guard artists and their labels should get exactly what they're asking for. None of their content whatsoever available for discover/consumption on the Internet. Let them rely upon "word of mouth", and those old fashioned AM/FM radio stations--that don't pay the artist to play their music. Enough is enough. If these people want to sh*t in their own dog food let them. Maybe those buildings that used to contain racks upon racks of plastic and vinyl and little boxes with headphones attached for previewing the contents of a small selection of the popular pieces of plastic will make a comeback.
If an artist doesn't want me to know about them and their work, then I'm not really sure why I should care. If it wasn't for YouTube, I would have never been introduced to her work, nor would she have had an opportunity to impress me enough to purchase a piece of antiquated plastic on which her work is contained.
Incidentally, in this case I'm not a huge fan of Jazz (read "not at all") and even if I were it would have taken a very impressive work for me to be motivated enough to buy that piece of antiquated plastic and go through the effort of ripping it into MP3s so I can to listen to it. But then I'm not everyone, some people might not mind ripping antiquated pieces of plastic into MP3s.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Between this Slashdot article and YouTube I'd say she's gained the ear (and a potential customer--if only she'd sell MP3s) of at least a few hundred new people whom have never heard of her before now.
Old guard artists can't seem to understand just how much they're shooting themselves in the foot by this non-sense. What FM radio stations were to them decades ago--and why radio stations to don't pay artists for playing their music--Internet media such as Pandora, YouTube, Spotify, etc. are now. These artists and their labels spend considerable resources keeping their works out of the hands of existing and perspective customers. A few decades ago, it was very unlikely that'd I'd buy a CD without having heard it on the radio, or borrowed a copy from a friend. Today, I won't buy an MP3 unless I've heard it on Pandora, or at least sampled it on Amazon. Somehow however, these artists have the notion that one, I'm interested in buying a bulky piece of plastic, and two, that I'll buy that piece of plastic on the merits of the cover art alone.
You mean giving it away like this? Or perhaps like this? I can say with reasonably high confidence that it would be much harder to do this if it weren't for the modern version of a radio station.
It's ironic that the only comments on Amazon for one of her CDs is samples please. I also note that there's no offering for buying her work on MP3s. I mean no disrespect to your sister but, from appearances it isn't YouTube and Spotify that's the problem. It's the out dated business model under which she's attempting to operate. People do not buy CDs nor do they listen to FM radio to anything near the same degree with which they did 20, even 10 years ago. YouTube, Pandora, Spotify are their modern equivalent. Unlike FM radio though, their Internet cousins actually do pay the artists--in an arguably reasonable proportion to the revenue generated. In that respect the artist is actually better off. Try asking an FM radio station to cough up money as compensation for the music they play. Just like the radio of decades past drove CD/cassette sales, so now do their Internet cousins, but not so much CDs but rather MP3s--which she's apparently not selling.
Hate break it to you miss, but it's the label under which you signed that's siphoning money away from you. If it wasn't for YouTube and other streaming services, your audience would be substantially smaller.
You misunderstand me. I'm not talking about awarding the precious snowflake an "A" for effort even though his peers run circles around them. I'm talking about sh*tting on an aspiring novice for trying to grasp beyond their station rather than guiding/mentoring/encouraging them. What kid his age do you know spends more than a few weeks on an academic endeavor--especially one not assigned to them--let alone a few years? His peers are kids his age, not a highly credentialed archaeologists. He didn't go trying to get published in an academic journal. He presented at a frigging academic fair and was noticed.
Subjected to such a toxic environment very few kids would ever aspire to and achieve great things. It is disgusting to see embers with so much potential snuffed out by a**holes like you.
You're right, they probably used the Chinese set... Whether or not the kid's theory holds, it's disgusting to see how people are most interested not in cultivating, fueling and encouraging this kid's passion, but rather in eviscerating him and his best efforts. Your toddler draws a picture of which she's very proud. It represents her best efforts and she's looking to you for praise and encouragement. Instead, you tell her it's rubbish, lecture her on her terrible technique, her poor choice of color pallet, etc..
If action cannot be taken due to that pesky "free speech" thing why are they wasting taxpayer resources "investigating?" To what end? It's not like they're going to highlight the Koch brothers speech, neither all the super PACs, nor Fox News, nor Breitbart, nor Chick-fil-a, nor countless other businesses, news or otherwise that operate and communicate with a certain political lean.
To be fair maybe regulators should have/be placing pressure on vehicle component, e.g. tire, brake, etc., manufacturers to reduce the toxic materials being used/released. These components that are being spoken of are no different than those used in traditional vehicles.
Given the increased appetite--in the U.S. at least--for over-sized land yachts weight certainly isn't an issue exclusive to BEVs. A 2013 Nissan Leaf has a curb weight of 3,291 lbs a Lincoln Navigator has a curb weight of at least 5,780 lbs. All but the densest person should be able to correctly pick the winner there. A Ford Focus weighs in at at least 2,800 lbs. So sure, it's got almost 500 lbs on the Leaf. But the Leaf doesn't shed a few pounds worth of carcinogens every 3000 to 5000 miles. Neither does it have to get rid of a bunch of toxins before "fueling" up.
My worries stem from his propensities for impulsive, disproportionate, and vengeful behavior. It would be a terrible idea to place such tools into the hands of a person have one of those characteristics, he demonstrates all three.
At this point I'm not sure its so easy to tell. There appears to be a significant number of defectors with an attitude of "anyone but" within each of the parties. Previously Hillary led Trump in polling by a few points. I'm not sure what to make of the latest Rasmussen poll showing a reversal with 39% to 41% favoring Trump. Whites with minimal education flock to Trump. Unfortunately we have a lot of those and it's only been within the last few months that anyone bothered to pay attention to the mess they've been making.
...because ice and water have similar IR signatures....because, wheels cannot detect slipping....{...} Respectfully, I'd rather trust a computer than a human.

Sure China likes to commit industrial espionage. Everyone know that. However, when are corporations (individuals) going to stop hiding behind laws--in the hopes that they will save them--and start taking responsibility for their own security? When in the history of the world has a law stopped a sufficiently motivated criminal?
That would be true if and only if the "donor" is truly brain dead. There is growing evidence that the accuracy of that diagnosis is farther from 100% most would be comfortable with.
Well I can reverse this and go with something,Karakaraon Canada Netflix and not US Netflix. I did a bit of Googling and could not find a legitimate place where from to purchase it here in the US. If I went down the list of "Canada" not "US" I'd expect similar results. I cannot personally attest to how prevalent the lack of available to purchase in US not Canada but I can most definitely attest to this problem in relation to region locking of Japanese content.
Personally I'd be suspicious of such a thing. I mean just think of all the expense supporting customer complaints from parents whose kids made purchases. I'd think to my self "maybe I should make sure that's the case."

Could be worse. Our neighbor is in an entirely different league.

Looks like she's using YouTube for profit as well...
Hate break it to you miss, but it's the label under which you signed that's siphoning money away from you. If it wasn't for YouTube and other streaming services, your audience would be substantially smaller.
Now when are they going to ban this one weird trick that almost broke the Internet among all the other forms of idiot bait.

No this place here or here in the U.S. and if you're motivated feel free to set one up yourself.

The single biggest concern I have with Trump as president are those pesky 90 days and that dreaded brief case.
At this point I'm not sure its so easy to tell. There appears to be a significant number of defectors with an attitude of "anyone but" within each of the parties. Previously Hillary led Trump in polling by a few points. I'm not sure what to make of the latest Rasmussen poll showing a reversal with 39% to 41% favoring Trump.

Lucky bastard
I can imagine that working well in the middle of LA rush hour. A Volvo shill are you...?
That's OK, Volvo claims their version is superior because it will come to a complete stop.
