Re:
Oh yeah...after everybody upgraded (ie. repurchased) their music catalog to CDs I am certain they didn't buy the same 40 albums every year after. Pick an arbitrary year and use that as a benchmark. How about 1835-2010? I think you will see quite an increase in revenue.

Re:
Many would gladly pay the content industry the price they ask if that price was fair...read: in line with costs plus a little on the top for profit...like all other products sold in a non-monopolized market. Granted, things have improved. Instead of paying $15 for two good songs and a lot of crap we can pay $3 for the same two songs without the crap.

Playing anything will get your information out there. Just applying for a credit card opens the floodgates on your information to third party advertisers. Too bad corporations aren't serious about protecting their customers information and their buddies in government don't care either...and, for the most part, the customers don't care either.

Re: Well Said
Either DH references himself in the third person, schizophrenically, or Tim Cushing is Capitalist Lion Tamer. I could see the confusion, Mike started letting them both make guest posts about the same time...and they're both Tims.

How would anyone be duped if someone came up to you on the street, asked, "Do you want to see a picture of actor Marlon Brando?" and shows you a picture of boots...and you really believe that the boots are an actor?

You dumb-asses don't know how to protect yourselves. So we will make rules so social media sites can't be social by default and prevent you idiots from letting the other idiots see your private information. But there is no problem with the site storing your information and selling it to third party corporations because they actually secure private data. Vote for me next year!

Re: Re: Re:
Are you just mad that nobody sent you a link to the pdf, or what?
Well, how 'bout this. Buzz was built up on the book through articles. People wanted to see the whole book out of curiosity. It won't be released for 6 months? In the age of information we have to wait 6 months for a dinosaur publishing company to print and deliver the material? Obviously somebody leaked the book in full, arguably bringing a lot more attention to the book since now people can look at all of it instead just a few excerpts. As some mentioned, they will now buy the book when it comes out. Others won't, and they probably wouldn't have anyways. So what does it matter if the book is out in full on pdf or jpeg on some website?

Re:
Look at the cover of the album, and tell me whether you think the average person might be confused about whether it's an album made by the actor Kevin Spacey. (Hint: yes.)
If the word Kevinspacey wasn't on the cover I would never have guessed that it is him...if it even is. All you can see is hair, glasses, and a shirt collar...could be anybody.
Chuck Norris' Enemy (deceased) (profile), 17 May 2011 @ 8:20am
I don't see the problem. There is a big difference between Kevin Spacey and Kevins Pacey... or Kev in space y? Omitting the space (no not Keviny) between his name and surname along with not capitalizing the S makes it a completely different word...or name for that matter.

Re: Re:
I always thought businesses were supposed to cater to their customers. Customers want video/music/photos they pay for to be available to them in any form on any device in any place. The internet has made this possible at extremely low prices. Yet the industry continues to place roadblocks for customers to get content at the actual cost the internet allows...which is infinite supply...which basic economics teaches that price goes to near zero.

FOIA allows 5 days to not actually provide a response to the questions, just an acknowledgement of receipt of request and an estimated cost to the inquisitor (staff time to recover information, copies, etc., if any) and date when the pertinent information is available to you. Or a rejection. Keep your fingers crossed.
