[Skanky Burns]

Still, it increases the cost to RIAA all the same for an equal effect.

Now that sounds really stupid.

Aren't coffee shops, etc setting up wireless networks for laptop users? What happened to their Centrino chip?

Last spring when Intel and Microsoft were here at the University for the aniversry of Mosaic they both talked loftily of how everyone was going wireless.

Maybe it hasn't happened yet or at all.

Yeah, there are WiFi hotspots all over the place, but it's very easy to configure them so that p2p software wont work.

you know downloading underworld hurts the MPAA, not the RIAA?

in any case, the MPAA is almost as bad as the RIAA, but at least they price dvds somewhat reasonably (a few bucks more than cds.)

DVDs are a better buy, you get 2 hrs vs. 1 hr worth of entertainment. Also, DVDs have picture in addition to sound. Finally, it's easy to understand where the money goes in it- movies aren't cheap to make.

Music on the other hand, as large as the support staff might be, is not anywhere near the scale of movies.

Which is why I use it.

You can also enable IP blocking of address you specify.

He means WAP. They have public WAPs in most Starbucks now, at least in the US.
