As a Spanish citizen, I can only tell you one thing. NO ONE has voted for this, at least no "normal citizen" has. Some day we woke up and we had this upon us. (Well, the IT-aware people were fearing this, actually) Well, of course, if a random computer-based business gets a higher HDD for their databases, it's obviously meant to contain downloaded music and pirated movies. Jesus...
Anyway. All the people behind the SGAE are a bunch of loser musicians, that in my opinion are plain crap, and because only a few persons buy their discs, they think it's because they are using piracy to get their awesome music...or they simply know that they can make more money like this. (Anyway, most of the popular spanish music is quite bad for my tastes, but they always manage to sell some new "hit" here and there by marketing it like if it was El Dorado in a CD, specially in summer...).
Anyway, this is quite enfuriating...they just go like EVERYONE is a pirate!...so, sorry for the angry tone...
I don't think that's such a bad name, it's kind of cute too. Anyway, isn't "xbox" a sillier name? Actually most console names are silly..."game boy" "genesis"...only NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and by inheritance Super NES, too, Playstation, Gamecube...
I just don't get how could they get piracy and filesharing from a guitar-playing dog that just wants people to hear his music without having to pay for it. This just shows how much do they want to criminalize anything they can. The next step: Cartoon bird sings. "This is an unapproved performance that hurts our interests!" they'll say.
Actually. I have never used such features in my daily usage. I talk to most of my friends without no problem...you know, this is a program used to communicate, not to exchange annoying gimmicky graphics or silly window-shaking.
