Misleading to think the patent system is so great that 800+ patents relating to video and audio encoding are all valid, even without considering well noted problems with it.
What intellectual curiosity could you have about the same straw man arguments that people like Murdoch have for years that has been debunked time and time again??
It's irrelevant whether you're giving it away for free, they could still sue you.
Or does the artists complete control over anything and everything that people do with their works not really matter to you, unlike what you keep stating.
Before you can verify the product you bought is legitimate, you have to verify that the verification scheme that is attached to the product is legitimate.
...growing legitimate market for consumers to purchase access to the same works.
Is this him realising or mentally toying with the idea of the difference between paying for access vs paying directly for content itself?
In any such case, another example of mistaking paying for access as being the only model, or one that deserves protection, y'know, just because. He can't change the current law, but to then go on to thinking that magic wands even exist is blatantly too far. Perhaps he picked up a copy of his kids Harry Potter books by mistake and took them literally?
You have never pointed out such things. Your arguments are based in as much fact as a story involving unicorns fighting King Kong whilst Predator seeks world peace.
Lets not forget the announcement of the WebM project also came with support from various other companies from various areas. This isn't Google going it alone.
Seriously? FFS go away TAM. You're an obvious troll that never contributes anything. At least go back to using your old account, that way the moment I see your avatar I can just keep scrolling.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Artists do not work for Free
Songwriters make money from being paid to write new songs or from deals to get a cut of the royalty.
They do not and should not get paid for compilation of basic facts and services that are provided entirely by users. Practically every lyrics site depends on external users providing the lyrics. Songwriters should be paying them for the work they do in providing a valuable tool and service that makes their songs more enjoyable and who do the heavy lifting they do so the bands and song writers don't have to.
Shutting down services that anyone with a pair of working ears can do and add too on the idea that licensing lyric sheets might make major money isn't beneficial to society.
