Or show me any business thats able to make profit if its:
Unable to meet their customers, to only sell their products online(here's a hint, when you do show them(and they do exist) their using a business model that supports them)
>work when a songwriter on his own has no support to tour,
Songwriters tour? They run around handing out new songs?
>work when they are no longer a band.
Ive closed my business, give me money becuase i useto run a business.

I sell bottled water, does that make it illegal to drink water from a lake? But now were starting to see the crux of your argument! Only took how long?
Still waiting for evidence.
>You're a charlatan.
Unlikely, we practice rational thought around here(well most of the commenters do).
Oh but wait, your accusations that he does not know what he's talking about and his models do not work? What about the rest of us who support his ideas?
Your insisting were all wrong? Your a die hard democrat? good for you, im a die hard aussie programmer, nice to make your acquaintance, neither of those make a difference to our arguments.
I personally, as a programmer and a web designer, work with a few bands. Guess what? They release their music for free, and charge for scarse items. They all still work(well as much as they useto haha), but they make a nice little earner on the side for themselves, and travel quite frequently around aus playing at different shows.
From what i can see your arguments have started out at something almost rational, and rapidly fallen down to attempts at personal insults. Id call you an industry shrill, but i honestly think they would pay for someone with a more thought out writing style.
Great article, ive emailed that to a few mates of mine(ok and half a dozen people who will probably roll their eyes and go "why is this guy on my mailing list?").
But i think as interesting as it is to ponder, were not really going to know how things will turn out - until we get there. But id vote farts is probably the way we will go, and its not necessarily a bad thing... but could be (i think ive borked my brain) - artificial scarcity can be good, but if its a life saving item, then its going to be bad.
Nice breakdown, but as it was broadcast publicly, doesnt that invalidate their right to issue a take down notice? (honest question, i personally think it should.)
Now im the first to admit im not completly up with US law and fair use, but wouldnt the fact that it was broadcast on "free-to-air" television have made it free use? As it was a freely handed out video, wouldnt that make it free to reproduce as long as no profit is gained?
6 million page views in april... 13 in feb... so your not really seeing a growth? are we talking page views per year or in total and over how many years?
Cmon mike you usually point things like that out :s
As an Australian,
Id just like to say, its nice to have known you all! The last 10 years have been fun and im sure i can speak for all of Australia when i say we have laughed, cried, giggled, blogged and gamed our selves through the collective worlds of the internet.
Soon we we will be no more, you may hear a whisper from us now and then, but our ''splendid isolation'' will return. Like England of old, we will be divided by a large ocean, with very little information about us getting out.
Remember us fondly, we were not that arrogant, we instead were the flippant ones, always making jokes. We were not the destructive, we built for fun and laughter. We shall miss you all.

A little over the top? Wait until each different group gets their hands on the ''secret'' filter list.... Ill probably end up in jail for working around the filter, but by god its going to be fun!
Bruce imho you have hit the nail on the head. We can trawl the net for the information we need on any subject we want, but when i pick up a paper, i want an informed article. I dont want to read a paper full of half truths(due to lack of knowledge about the subject matter).
Shame Techdirt does not run a news paper everyday :P
