Fotix Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 This was on the front page earlier this week. Still is all very cool. :cool: I wish some other industries would take note on how to come up with innovative uses for the internet. ::COUGH:: entertainment industry ::COUGH:: Obviously some smart folks working there so why don't they (entertainers) recruit someone possessing more intelligence than they have currently? Anyways playing around with this stuff is great and useful. What an awesome company (for a change). :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotix Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 We wish they would do something like that?There could be so many different things to do to help they're industry. :blink: Lawsuits against a kid in Norway, shutting down a P2P service only to have 10 more pop up, coming after P2P users, Adobe coming after a Russian company for making an ebook decrypter for blind people or so if people forgot their passwords, Palladium junkware, harassing Naval Academy cadets, Sen. Fritz "Hollywood" Hollings Senate bill that would mandate DRM controls in every piece of electronics manufactured in the United States... All aren't helping their industry one bit. When you treat customers and potential customers as "thieves", your business is screwed. We're just going to have to wait until Rosen and Valenti and other execs retire or kick the bucket before they (entertainers) wise up. I have no problem with artists making money, except now they are harassing everyone because they can't accept digital information is like water. You can't stop digital copying and you can't stop water from not being wet. The people in the industries are not intelligent enough to be in business anymore. They're stupid and need to take a physics class as to why a computer is a replication machine. The internet becomes like a world hard disk with your connection. Anyway, if the entertainment people stop with the B.S. and instead concentrate on making their (RIAA) own cheap pay Napster (but superior with perfect quality musepack files or something like that), they might be getting somewhere. The best way to get people to subscribe to the pay services would be to strike deals with the ISPs, having an ISP ask you if you'd like to subscribe to a music or movie package along with your internet service. There's some other ideas I have but I'll leave it at that. </end rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
