Re: Re: Re: At least a decade after widespread broadband, YET NO SOLUTION!
ALso, Henry Rollins walked out of The Tower Theatre ans stood on Ludlow St. and shook/signed autographs until the trucks were loaded, and it was time to go @ 3AM. Biohazard rolled dice on Ludlow St with their fans until every last one of them was gone. Peter Gabriel enlightened us at dinner in the Tower as to how he hated his label, sold loads of "albums" but still had to tour to make the real money. (Way before I cared) I could go on and on as I saw this kind of interaction for the 10 or so years I was a stagehand.
"Wow, this is almost as lame as Nina Paley's dogshit."
At least it was free. Imagine if you payed for it, played it for 5:33 hours completing 5% of it only to find out a crucial element needed to get past where you are does not work. Then spent 2 hours trying to find and empliment a fix that does not exist yet, and the company that sold you this defective POS could care less because they already have your money. Thanks EA. I will be joining our pirate friends and downloading a DRM free copy that works.
Re: At least a decade after widespread broadband, YET NO SOLUTION!
There was this little band in the 90's that everytime they came in to town as an opening act, would stay in the parking lot talking with ppl and giving away their CD's and T-shirts before and after the show. Nice guys. They helped load their own equipment from the small trailer they pulled behind the bus. They were already signed with a major label, and hated how they were treated like a nothing. But they kept going, giving away CD's, T-shirts, and hanging out with their fans making nothing while on tour, and putting every dime back into the above mentioned activities. Well one day, we got word that they were coming back as a headliner. Yay we thought. Couldnt happen to a nicer bunch of guys. They still sat on the loading dock giving away CD's.
The next year they were headlining large arena's.
Sorry if this example actually requires hard work and dedication... something that greedtards despise.
If a store doesn't sell u what u want, u are justified stealing it? - Derrrr I am an edumacated persin.
What horseshit. If the store does not sell it, it is not there to "steal" If the store values its customers, it will try to fill the demand, and if they cant the consumer will go elswhere.

Techdirtbag
Tech-dirtbag or
techdirt-bag (cuz I would really like one of those.)
Being a self-proclaimed dirtbag, I take offence to you lumping everyone in my catagory. I have worked very hard to become a dirtbag and do not think others here have that kind of commitment to truly be one. In fact, we know from the daily ritual of coming to TD, that we have for the most part a varied level of contributors most of which are not dirtbags. So your generalazition of this community, although right on par with the rest of the fucktard AC's, is incorrect. (Surprise there... NOT)
So in the spirit of the upcoming holidays Merry suck my d*ck, and Happy F*ck you. :)
"And send some cash to the artists you enjoy ripping off so much."
I agree. Go see some shows. That way you know they will actually get paid.
"It's because of freeloaders like you that we have to put up with stuff like DRM and SOPA."
Actually fucktardo, it is an inability to adapt to a changing market that brings us the likes of DRM, SOPA, etc. Does someone need a clue for Christmas?
Go fuck yourself AC.

his Facebook feed has 1.5 million fans = 1.5million freetards
His YouTube channel apparently has something crazy like 176 million views. = 176million freetards(Look Ma, I used RIAA math)

Content owners need to identify infringing content, and send DCMA notices.

STEP AWAY FROM THE GLUE. No one ever mentioned that. Just punishments for the crime committed is what I recall. I know that concept is foreign to you.
Tsk tsk:
They're making money selling access to content - and providing users with a free distribution channel. To paint all content distributed through those channels as illegal is intellectual dishonesty.
"with the people who do the real work."
LOL. Please enlighten us to who YOU think that is.
"If not now, when? If not the SOPA or PROTECT-IP, what?"
It was called the DMCA. It is just not enough for greedtards.
