Yeah, THIS is intriguing.\u00c2\u00a0 Let me get my copy protected song for 99 cents
from some peon in New Jersey or Wyoming rather than instantly downloading a
pristine version from the iTunes Music Store.<\/p>\n
It’s the PRICE stupid.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not the DELIVERY system!\u00c2\u00a0 I mean I’ll get it
FASTER from the iTunes Music Store but I’d rather wait a few minutes to get it
P2P?<\/p>\n
The disinformation campaign is DEAFENING!\u00c2\u00a0 Mashboxx resembles P2P
like…well, to tell you the truth, I can’t come up with an analogy.\u00c2\u00a0 Where ELSE
can you endlessly duplicate a product at no cost and distribute in such a way that
infrastructure\/transfer costs are borne by EVERYBODY on the network rather than
the seller?\u00c2\u00a0 It’s the EFFICIENCY of P2P that’s attractive, not the NAME!<\/p>\n
Mashboxx is P2P in name only.\u00c2\u00a0 It has NONE of the salient features of P2P as
we now know it.\u00c2\u00a0 It DOES NOT enable the free exchange of information.\u00c2\u00a0 It DOES
NOT represent a new business model.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s kind of like calling chicken shit
chicken salad.\u00c2\u00a0 There, THAT’S your analogy for you.<\/p>\n
Snocap enables one to tag files so they can then be tracked.\u00c2\u00a0 In OTHER WORDS,
you can track the trading of all files via P2P networks.\u00c2\u00a0 SO, if you created
a pool of money, you could divvy it up, a la ASCAP and BMI, but with
statistically accurate data, giving the most money to the copyright holders of the most downloaded songs, and the least to the song traded once or twice.\u00c2\u00a0 And, you
create this pool by licensing individual file-traders (their incentive is to
avoid being sued, this works, how many people don’t speed for fear of getting
stopped, or get driving licenses for fear of being stopped and not HAVING ONE?)
or charging a fee at the ISP level to owners of all accounts.\u00c2\u00a0 Is this BRAIN
SURGERY?\u00c2\u00a0 No, this is the kind of logic a second grader can understand.\u00c2\u00a0 So,
why can’t the major labels??<\/p>\n
If only the Grokster decision killed P2P.\u00c2\u00a0 Not only has it not killed P2P in
THIS country, companies OUTSIDE U.S. jurisdiction operate scot free!\u00c2\u00a0 AND,
since the Internet knows no borders, the U.S. citizenry trades away and the
labels continue to get ripped off.\u00c2\u00a0 The question arises NOT how to penetrate and
stop these so-called rogue networks, but how to CHARGE for the trading that is
enabled by them.<\/p>\n
Well, you can’t log on without an account.\u00c2\u00a0 Whether it be at home, at work or
at school.\u00c2\u00a0 So, if you put the toll there…<\/p>\n
It’s kind of like putting the toll at the end of someone’s driveway rather
than on a highway in another country.\u00c2\u00a0 If they want to drive, they’ve got to pay.<\/p>\n
Where I come from, scumbags are scumbags.\u00c2\u00a0 The fact that the major labels
allow Wayne Rosso to go from zero to hero just that fast shows that they’re
lacking the same integrity he is.<\/p>\n
I really don’t get why the artists don’t protest.\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t insist that the
labels enter the twenty first century instead of constantly standing up and
defending their twentieth century business practices.<\/p>\n
Oh, I know why.\u00c2\u00a0 The same reason racism and homophobia and anti-semitism
still exist.\u00c2\u00a0 IGNORANCE!<\/p>\n
We’ve got the slaves harvesting the crops…\u00c2\u00a0 No slaves, no food.\u00c2\u00a0 You don’t
want that to happen, do you?\u00c2\u00a0 The Bible says homosexuality is bad, IT MUST BE
TRUE!\u00c2\u00a0 (Assuming the Bible actually even SAYS this.)\u00c2\u00a0 Jews have HORNS, we’ve
got to KILL THEM before they steal all our MONEY!\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, you’ve never met a Jew?\u00c2\u00a0
Never seen one with horns before?<\/p>\n
ANYBODY with ANY expertise in technology will tell you that P2P can’t be
stopped in short order.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, so the SUPREME COURT rendered a decision.\u00c2\u00a0 But, it
didn’t ban P2P and I ask you…smoking dope is illegal, do you find it
impossible to buy MARIJUANA??<\/p>\n
I want no more bullying from Andy Lack.<\/p>\n
I want no more misinformation from that man.<\/p>\n
If he’d only concentrate on signing acts people cared about instead of
locking up his company’s wares in a fortress THEN I’d pay him some respect.\u00c2\u00a0 But,
the fact that this man who’s barely been in the business is quoted as an
expert\/seer constantly makes me PUKE!<\/p>\n
From now on, will they PLEASE quote a seventeen year old every time Mr. Lack
opens his mouth, so the TRUTH will out?? <\/p>\n
