Requesting data from a server but demanding it not read your IP is akin to requesting correspondence from a company but demanding it not read your address.
...and demanding it not read your address but you still expecting a written response.
The market for collectors would be far too small to sustain the record industry, and the fact the the record industry, will look at possible future sales, and correctly decide it is not worth producting that content in the first place.
The buggy whip market got much smaller when cars became more mainstream, and, yes, many whip makers went out of business. However, you can still buy them today to, you guessed it, collectors.
No content created, means you have nothing to file share, steal and give to you're friends and enemies.
Yes, because there was no art created before the members of the RIAA, and certainly never before copyrights, right? All music ever created happened in the last handful of decades. Good to know.
You force the authorities to crack down, to take action, to develop DRM technologies, and so on.
Absolutely not. The record labels could have seen that Napster was the future of music sales and jumped on board then. They could have reacted to the changing market. They could have realized that printing large amounts of shiny discs was no longer going to be a sound business model. They chose to ignore, and then attack, the changing market. They forced us to pirate because they would not meet market demands.
Thanks for that TD and you're ilk.(sic)(maybe?)
So, now the weight of all piracy lays upon TechDirt's shoulders? Be straight with me, Darryl, you're a politician in Australia, aren't you?
I think you are confused. I am not the consumer to the television stations, I am the product. The company buying ad space is their customer. If the shows are there to get me to sit in front of the television, and the ads only have to hold my attention for a minute to do their job.
The problem is that the ads are loud, annoying and rarely entertaining. Also, they last for 5 minutes and there are 5 sets of them in a 60 minute show. The only failures here are the ad agencies for making shitty adsads and the networks for allowing so Science damned many of them.
Further, many of us do not want to watch a TV, we are busy, mobile people who want to watch on our phones and netbooks and tablets and laptops. We are offered pathetic attempts to give us these options, so naturallynaturally we go elsewhere for what we want, and as you said, no one cares if the new source is unauthorized.
Explain to me how someone is supposed to know what data is infringing and which has been uploaded by the rights holder *without* a DMCA takedown request.
While you're at it, please point out the "swamped" clause in the DMCA, I think I missed that part.
Hmm, maybe. I find that I can stop reading at any time, so the length of an article doesn't bother me, personally.
That's just me, though.
Also, I meant that it didn't inspire commentary on this site.. in the comments section. Because if I wanted to comment on one of your picks I would just go do it on the article itself. We need a way to spice up these "picks" posts.
PS- Figure out the title of this comment, yet? :) (I was bored.)

So, I guess all those Britney Spears Vinyl Records are for all the 14 year old girls with record players, right?
