I think you'll notice that murder and rape are serious criminal offences that nearly everyone abhors and works against. 'Piracy' is generally a civil offence that most people see as relatively harmless as going 2 mph above the speed limit.
But money not spent on CDs will be spent on something, and that something will often need boxes shipped. Sometimes, those boxes will be bigger, needing more trucking.
Seriously, if someone decides not to spend $500 on CDs but buys a plasma TV, which one takes up more box space?
Haven't they been trained to 'consume'? All they are doing is providing /their/ parameters to it, which aren't necessarily yours.
The 'more product' is them basically saying that for the cost of a simple extra drawing, someone might pay full whack for a bunch of your products. How do you lose, if they wouldn't pay otherwise? Don't people do this as a selling technique all the time?
If 'telling my friends to support' isn't a positive, then please feel free to languish in obscurity, where I'm sure you will become plenty rich. If you want to rule out the power of word-of-mouth for teens, you deserve it.
What they'll do is pretend that each politician counts for every 'voter' in his constituency, so when they lose their seats, the 'entertainment industry' 'loses' not only the politician but all his voters too as 'job losses'.
Merchandise: Pixar's Cars 2 has been out of cinemas for 9 months, and was hardly a runaway success. But they are still flogging off toys, and small boys everywhere are still collecting them.
Everything I would have spent on going to the cinema now gets spent on toys. So if you make a product worth supporting, I will.
And to second this, since there is alsways someone techy who wants an unusual format, you will always be able to find someone willing to go to the effort of converting stuff for you - probably for very little more than 'official recognition'. So you could do the main formats yourself, let the fans handle the more unusual stuff = and by actually engaging with them, you get 'stuff for free' yourself, and much better community.
We had a trial for a bus system like this in Glassgow. It would have been at least 15 years ago, in the mid-90s. Guess 'prior art' doesn't count when it's any country but America?
I think if you read on that he says that an existing business degree contributes to the RE licence, and he implies that she already has that business degree, in which csae it makes much more sense for her to do it than him to learn from scratch.
Of course, he did put it badly, but it sounds like they both saved a lot of money for minimal effort, so it makes sense.
He does read the article, but all he cares about is to not only make some kind of nasty rebuttal to any and all of Mike's points (even if he has to go for Creationist logic to do so) but he also has to get some unwarranted personal jibes in as well. Actually addressing the overall point of the article (and especially, coherently) would just be a waste of his time, effort, and 'superior debating skills'.
I think his fantasy includes the bitter pill of 'nutritional/food pills' you see on old shows like The Jetsons, which he feels we should all swallow as well...
Firstly, he was trying to explain the earlier poster's possibly wrong comments.
Secondly, he said "raping broadcasters" not necessarily you/the public. And yes, Free/OTA TV is raping my poor abused brain cells. Do I really need more "My Big Fat Dancing American Gypsy Top Model does Celebrity House Swap Idol"?

"Make a living" does not mean "live like a Roman Emperor". Although this does seem to be the 'dream' that the **AAs sell.
