Naw just a steak platter will do: http://www.mamohanraj.com/Writing/myths.html

You have to offer something of better value when you compete. Free infringing is not a market you should compete with. That is law enforcement

A lot of companies will switch over to DRM to get the ball rolling. This will get them off the hook on intent. DRM will increase in strength. Not be here tuesday morning next week type thing. Most successful business use a gradual progression migration path. Studios are aware of this. They know disruptions are bad for business.

Anybody would be better off financially with protected content. Those so called evil marketers you people deride understand human nature all too well. Why do you think they have the money. The honor system is what keeps open source broke. We know you guys are bullsh*tting yourselves, but you are entitled.

Try to unscramble a wmv or wma file without the key. You cannot even play it to strip it to mp3 without the key. Those type of files will get even more difficult in the future. It is happening. Just open your eyes.

I mentioned the speaker analog threat to someone else. 32 kbs distorted is not going to be in demand. You will pay for the good stuff. The studios will pass on those as mulligans. Not as good as the trailers.

Then don't buy it. Do not know why a file has to play on all the computers when it will play on all the readers for max flexability. I am sure another key can be obtained to play on a second machine. Remember you said you are willing to compromise. Havent seen it yet.

If they are out of business, you will have to wait until they die and their estate releases the copyrights. The books copyrights should be hunted down in an honest effort. If orphaned over 14 years, it should released to the commons. I cannot believe you cannot find the author of a book.

Naw they will need a pension in their old age. Most authors do not hit it big time.

I cannot tell you about any company that was forced out of business. But you can be made to suffer without going under. How about all of those old bands that are in retirement now? Some of them will need that check coming in.

You are right on the Trademark. Proved it with the link above. Now you should read it to get rid of some notions you have.

Yes all business make mistakes by making bad decisions. But you cannot help them along with illegal activity, even if you think they deserve it.

You are turning a blind eye to illegal activity to tank the studios because you reason that they deserve it. I do not think you are very objective or fair yourself. You also are taking it out on a lot of innocent little people that would not make it under your system. Also everyone has a right to their own property and to be protected from the majority. Also no business should be allowed to exist if it is based on infringing. It isn't a business anyway. It is an illegal operation to be corrected or dismantled.; Posted by: osreinstall Posted on: 06/29/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
