holy shit, i don't know anything about the laws, but i'm sure that destroying someones computer for an mp3 file is illegal. that seems like blowing up a kids house because he stole a candy-bar or soemthing. |

Ha ha, he's a composer himself. Talk about vested interests! I'm not worried- I know the good guy hackers will come up with something that can circumvent anything the evil government dorks can come up with :D |

Ah yeah Jonesy, watched "Once upon a time in the Midlands" last night, Shane Meadow's film. Really enjoyable, I don't normally rate films with soppy "feel good" endings, but this was class. |

"If we can find some way to do this without destroying their machines, we'd be interested in hearing about that," Mr Hatch said. "If that's the only way, then I'm all for destroying their machines." He sounds like Sarah Connor in the mental hospital at the beginning of T2 |

my mate made a good point: "I wouldn't be saying I'm gonna destroy the Notis' (Nerds of the Internet) PCs.. The first f'in place they need to start w/ to fight piracy is China and Russia. The amount of media stolen by those two countries alone is far worse than all the US downloaders combined X 10................." |

don't know if I totally agree, but there's def a prob with software piracy in china. |

plah they should make cds cheaper... fucking music industry.. and if it wasnt for soulseek and all id never buy as much cds as i do now |

|

they just assume that because the major label industry is doing badly is because everyone is downloading whole lp's and burning them. not true. for one, the reason the major labels are doing so bad is because they release 14 year old TRL crap. second, i dont remember myself EVER downloading a whole lp and burning it without intention to purchase said lp. i think most people dl isolated songs for comps, to decide if something is worth buying, etc. |

i think thats the case with most people. since the easy availability of music, i have gotten into a TON more musicians i never would've heard any other way, becuase they dont get mtv or radio airplay. we gotta have our version of radio!!!! i mean, i NEVER wouldve heard bogdan raczynski's music if i hadnt dl'ed something. and im SO glad i did. |

corrupted-grrl, why do you have a pic of some hippy-dippy dredlockheaded member of i mother earth in your avatar? that's sooooo mid-90s, yo! but jokes aside, why is our country responsible for so many musical atrocities?!? |

what the music industry in the u.s. seems to fail to realize is that it is the shitty quality of mainstream music which ultimately contributes to people pirating stuff like 50 Cent, etc. en masse - if most of it wasn't of the 'flavour of the month' variety which you toss away after you've gotten bored of the no-longer cool top-40 hit, sales would be far better. just look at someone like Radiohead - HTTT got leaked a good couple months before proper release yet they're still selling by the boatload regardless, because the music is worth owning. another problem is prices currently being charged for CDs. it seems that the industry wants to fight piracy by, of all things, increasing prices of CDs - talk about giving the massess an inscentive to fuck buying CDs ever again even moreso than before! |

Perhaps the real reason large labels pants it about p2p is precisely because it allows people to hear new music... it means their relationship with the media/advertising doesn't really count for a lot. Before, they could pretty much dictate what people heard (and hence knew about), now it's almost "word of mouth" around the world. |

radiohead sold 300,000 in the US last week.. i'm sure they'd have sold 600,000 if not for piracy. it's nice to think that "good music will be bought" but many of us know from experience that that isn't true. a lot of friends or people i know have cd-r's of radiohead and not "the real thing." in fact, a ton of people i know--literally dozens of people--don't even buy cd's anymore, they just download songs and burn them as albums or as parts of a mix cd. |

oh no! think of the consequences on the u.s. economy - all those underpriviledged starving underpaid & overworked media whore advertisers suddenly out of their job! =( it's all about maintaining the status-quo. the world's been always like that, but thankfully, change ultimately always proves an unstoppable fact of life. i couldn't be more glad it's becoming more word of mouth. it's about time we stop being spoonfed by MTV and Top-40 FM radio |

"i couldn't be more glad it's becoming more word of mouth. it's about time we stop being spoonfed by MTV and Top-40 FM radio" I know, I'm sure IDM and related genres will become more popular as more people hear them via p2p networks etc. |

that's trrue. |

i mean, seriously, in the good ol' days (before any of us here even existed), it was all principally word-of-mouth (though the press played a far more significant role in making or breaking a band than it does now), and so bands which were actually decent (the beatles, rolling stones before rehab, pink floyd, black sabbath before ronnie dio, etc.) sold by the boatloads - though i guess that hardly explains the rise of ABBA, or the Bee Gees for that matter. i guess once disco came along, the world started on a slippery slope down to hell. |

true, but in terms of the quality of music, there was a far smaller disparity between led zeb and can than there now exists between, say, creed and sigur ros. nowadays there's just a lot more crap that becomes mainstream simply because that's the only stuff most people get exposed to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all i'm saying is people are very selective with their money.. now that they can "sample" music (ie: burn it and never buy it, let's be honest.. a lot of people are like this) they can explore "weirder" music w/o any risk. that unfortunately does not necessarily mean these artists like sigur ros are getting any money. people don't go out to the record store to learn about the album leaf or telefon tel aviv, they go to their computers. |

Overheard in computer store: "We can add in the C4 explosive option for only $20 more..." "er ... what? no thanks..." |

im not worried i dont see this ever happening. it goes against too many laws. Privacy laws, and property laws. But even if it DID happen, I would worry. Why? Because all the really good computor people dont get jobs in the US govt, making shit pay. Theyd go to some private company. And these are the people that will save us. They will be able to protect computors, and probably, even backfire it to the government computors. It will be nasty... but hey, dont fuck with the hax0rz! |

I hardly buy CDs anymore as I am too careless and scratch them so it isn't worth it. With MP3 I can download at a whim and burn to disc and make replacements. |
