Various Anonymous Cowards who like to spout "it's the law, so you it's right" nonsense: this is your time to stand up and show us you're at least willing to be consistent.
"This message brought to you by TechdirtPAC - not a political thing, because Mike doesn't do that sort of thing."
Exactly. It's impossible to have a call for political involvement for anything other than horrifically nefarious reasons that likely include either the Illuminati or puppy-punching.
It seems obvious that this data points to only one logical conclusion:
Record labels need to immediately stop going after digital lockers....and go after REAL lockers. Break down school doors and start going through kids' shit, since surely that's where they're hiding their cell phones, mp3 players, thumb drives, and also pot/whizbangs/bathsalts/whatever the fuck kids are doing these days to get ripped.
Yes, the digital approach hasn't worked yet; perhaps that real approach will. So go break some kneecaps, RIAA. I mean, is it really worth pretending you aren't a mafia racket anymore?
They're questionable suit of PadMapper for putting a usefull frame around the Craig's List page it interacts with is a key point of the article. I'm surprised you missed it....
To be fair, as a child of the 80's, I once rushed into a pet store, removed all the turtles from their cages, and began stomping on them repeatedly while screaming "Where's my damned Princess!?!?!?".
Years of corrective therapy later and I still am not allowed into Chicago pet stores....
"PS: I'm not a shill, I just don't agree with your point of view. Can you accept that simple concept?"
I can, but I'm afraid I just don't understand your viewpoint. Watching a video mashup of a concert, even assuming great video/audio quality (which phone recordings don't have, btw), absolutely does NOT replace the experience of attending a concert. Concert DVDs are somewhat like this and yet people still go to concerts.
All this should do is add value to the concert experience by injecting both a social aspect to it and a connection with the band, assuming they're the ones making use of these mashup videos on their own sites to market future concerts. This seems wholly like a win/win for everyone...
So I assume, based on the infinite wisdom of some of our detracting friends 'round these here parts, that Jack Daniels will now immediately lose all of their Trademarks and their entire business because they didn't fire off a hateful demanding letter and instead chose to go the congenial route?
You're missing the point. Part of the reason to buy the ticket is to get to be one of the people participating in shooting the video. It's a social aspect.
"If it's not obvious, this is clearly a publicity stunt around her book, which according to TorrentFreak's article is "based on her experiences bedding nearly 5,000 men.""
Proving yet again that there are enough men out there that will dive into anything that the earth will never be unpopulated....
"why should he apologize, you go to HIS show, and talk shit about him, his act whatever, you should be asked to leave, you don't like the show, don't stay"
Uh huh. And if you go to a restaraunt and they over cook your filet mignon, you better just keep your mouth shut and take the charred nonsense on your plate like a good little consumer.
You want to explain to me the logic of a paying customer at a concert not being able to express his opinion without the main act telling him he has to leave?
