dumb bastards, music sales are up

Fans have been swapping/sharing music for decades; only the technology changes.
Thanks to the internet more people are discovering more new artists. That's good.
Otherwise the only music we're exposed to is what ClearChannel and MTV decide.
For most bands (not blessed with public playtime) P2P is a goldmine.

Thank goodness you can entertain yourselves online since you have the insane law making it a crime to watch TV signals not sanctioned by the govt.

reynold · 04-01-2004, 06:42 PM

Why don't they just leave us alone and
do what they are expected to do?

Well, govt knows whats best for us.

Roger · 04-01-2004, 06:44 PM

hopefully people have learned there lesson and will stop buying and sharing music. No need to encourage the stupid music industry. Besides, music is overrated.

I'd hate for my govt. to tell me I can't watch unscrambled signals landing on my property with readily available equipment or have neighbors that would turn me in for having it.

Screaming · 04-01-2004, 07:07 PM

faraci · 04-01-2004, 07:11 PM

Good thing there isn't a war going on or anything.

KRL · 04-01-2004, 07:16 PM

Its true history does repeat itself.

faraci · 04-01-2004, 07:29 PM

Record companies have also put protection on newer CD's. The J-Kwon CD that came out on the 30th is one of them. You have to agree to a license agreement before you ever listen to it on your computer, it opens it's own program to play (image here), and you have to get a certain key to be able to play it in other media player (winamp, windows media, etc). You can't play it directly off the CD with other media players, and you have to rip it and get those special keys before you can ever listen to it on another media player. And they put protection on it to prevent CD copying.

I give this a few weeks before a crack is released.

This is not a discussion about which country is "better". It's absurd that you can't put up a dish and watch programs from the US if you want to (not to mention the massive number of other nationalities represented in the signals being beamed across North America http://lyngsat.com/america.shtml ). If our govt. passed a law similar to yours I would lose 95% of what I watch.

DR_PHIL · 04-02-2004, 06:55 AM

good luck trin to enforce that

jimmyf · 04-02-2004, 07:00 AM

I think it's if you are sharing 2500 or more songs. So keep it at around 2000.

mardigras · 04-02-2004, 07:03 AM

Actually, it says $1000 worth of music. Who sets the price for any mp3 song? I doubt the govt. That would be like them saying all CDs must be sold for the same price everywhere or regardless of value.
