My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

alt.binaries.cd.image I'm surprised how much attention P2P music file sharing has gathered over the last few months. The RIAA is squibbling for scraps as their profits start falling since even the internet's half-retarted users are now part of the eternal order of piracy. Somehow, they muster up the audacity to sue for $150,000/song! I don't know about you, but I DO have a CD collection. Sure, it's old, and is shadowed by some peoples' 1000-CD library, but I truley don't have a music fetish. Even without a music fetish, I have a shitload of mp3's. I guess I could get sued for a few billion dollars. Software is another story. I have a software game and app fetish. Compare music at the cost of about $1/song to software at the cost of an average of $300/title for apps, and $50/title for games. I wonder how much the DMA or the software companies could sue the average Joe for having illegal copies of software. Do the software companies care? Have any of you ever explored the elite world of newsgroups? Read my Blog Archive - 4/6/03 to find out a little more about them. Microsoft Office 2003 was available for download at least a month before the official release! On newsgroups, you can get high-end apps like AutoCAD, Alias, Catia, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc., that cost between $300 - $1000. It's amazing that newsgroups can still stay alive. Today, they do live and they're living strong. If the RIAA is suing users for $150,000 for a $1 song, what would software companies like Desault, Microsoft, or Adobe sue pirates for? posted by Dino at 9:28 AM (permanent link) |
