      it's at the point where this technology is so widespread that the law needs to catch up. it's like vcr's or recording songs off the radio or photocopying... once things become so easy and available it doesn't matter if it's technically illegal. artists still can make buckets of money touring and nothing will ever replace that.

          Very nice article
          Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

            Sure the RIAA sucks but that is no excuse for theivery. Face it: You didn't buy it. It isn't yours. Music is a not a necessity for anyone. "The man be keeping me down" arguments don't wash.
            ooh big man DLing to rip on Sava...
            To us, it is the BEAST.

                    (*sigh*)
                    I'll have to remember the "accuse someone of being a DL" strategy next time I have nothing to say. Feel free to contact TPTB if that's what you really think.

                    Perhaps I responded too strongly. For that I apologize. But honestly, what does make you think I'm a DL?

                        No. You're a DL because you've registered less than a month ago, and you're already in the OT.

                        prepare to be hazed.

                              Who cares, intellectual property rights are mere conventions and when they can't be enforced, there is no point to them.

                              As someone who's been a good customer of the recording industry (I have a few thousand CDs and quite a few cassettes and albums) I'm sick of them. They never keep their catalogue up to date and they treat their customers and their artists with contempt. I'll keep buying Classical CDs from small labels since they tend to care more, but I won't blame anyone for filesharing.

                              I share a few old pop songs every so often and download some things I haven't heard in ages. I'd quite like the RIAA to go after me since I actually own most of the songs I have downloaded on cassettes or LPs which are sitting back in a cupboard in NZ.

                              The recording industry is a dead duck that shouldn't be propped up by the government.

                                Well, and I just posted to CivIII Strategy. Does that take the curse off it?

                                BTW, the Off Topic on these boards seems way busier than anything else here. I expected lots more discussion on Civ than anything else.
