Re: No, history teaches us that tech companies will abuse the law
Just because you posted it three times does it make it so. At every turn your beloved slave owners (MAFIAA) have fought tooth and nail to decimate any and all services where if they partnered with, would have brought them piles of money. As shown here many times, if they aren't the ONLY ones making money, then no one else can make money.
No spin at all:
"Assuming an album contains 10 tracks" ASS_U_ME
And:
"While not all music available on BitTorrent is unauthorized, the majority of songs delivered through the system are not licensed."
So it is incomplete data.
So unless they have a way to tell exactly what songs were or were not "legal" I wouldn't put too much stock on those numbers. They are just guessing.
Did you even read the article? I dont think you did because as Mike points out ALL THE TIME:
The DMI also found that unlicensed file-sharing has decreased slightly over the past six months in territories where services such as Spotify and iTunes are available. Meanwhile, the previous market-leader MySpace, is now being overtaken by Soundcloud as the site with the most streams for new and breaking acts.
So its still a service issue the labels refuse to meet.
I saw this shit coming from the un-patriot act I, then II. People don't care. When you tell the lemmings about this crap you see their eyes static over like an off channel. Everyone thinks, well that doesn't effect me.
I realized long ago that trying to convince ppl to look at the anomalies of 911 was a lost cause and focused my attention on laws that were being written in reaction to 911 was more productive. Well here we are. No public outcry. Just blind acceptance the the Gov is our friend and is looking out for our "safety."
"they are abused, they are forced onto drugs, they are forced into prostitution"
Um Amsterdam.
A beautiful little 23 year old I spent some time with told me she would retire in 5 years and not have to work for the rest of her life. It was her decision to do so. The people who run certain parts of the red light district keep close tabs on the people walking through the district and it is a very controlled environment. Just look up. You dont fuck around.
There are no pimps. The girls and brothel owners have a very close relationship and those men protect their girls with their lives. Like any job, you go to work high and you get fired. It has been that way for many many years.
All Americans should travel out of our little bubble once in their lives.
Europeans treat each other very very different and is an eye opener as to how hateful we treat each other here in the states.
Who cares about timing, the fact is its a useless wasteful program. Most of this stuff was conceived under republican rule and continued under the democrats. Stop all that repub/dem political crap and realize what a farce the 2 party system is. They are both the same assholes that don't give a fuck about you and I. All they care about is the almighty dollar and sell out the public at every chance.
Re: Once again proof that copyright is for the average Joe
boB, your rants are getting bland and boring. Big this, this blog that.
"this blog has become a real creator hater" - No one forces you to come here. If you hate it so much, why do you constantly come here? It's sick really. That or you just enjoy being berated.
Those in charge don't see it as broken. Its like trying to convince a mental person to see a doctor. They think they are fine as they play with their own feces.

Like you. You do see the hilarity in your comment as you accuse Mike of EXACTLY what you do?
Day after day of personal attacks while appearing you have not read ANY of what he writes.
A+ for consistency though.
