Only licenced recorders allowed, we could all be totally dependant on the licenced companies, no live recordings done of small shows, no home studios either.. Well, thus would end the recording couriers of at least 2 of my friends, and countless others just so Sony could hold the reigns. No new initiative, nothing, just an even more stagnant and unexciting recycled uninspiring excuse for a "music" industry. Spiffing idea, what say we call it DRM. It could be locked into drivers, codecs and firmware. BTW, the music industry has been caught cgarging such things as nmanufacturing costs for paid downloading services. The only thing obstructing artists getting a fair deal is the music indusrty itself. If you totted up all the ripoffs the music and movie industries have perpetrated over the years, would the so called (exaggerated) cost to industry of piracy amount to didley squat in comparison.

For e.g. When you copy something you have already purchased, that can not be called theft by any stretch (although it is by the RIA). Even if fair use is not in the copyright legislation in your particular neck of the woods, it still ain't theft and, mounting a mroal argument against such practices is dubious as the artist has been paid, the distributer and producer have been paid. When you on sell as a distributer is a different matter. Hang the F%*&@!s	Murray P (44)

Must be protected at all costs so the corrupt, the cunning, and all the utter bastards can make money, and maybe even some cash can find its way to he "artists" , allthough if that happens than clearly was an oversight!!!!!! Apart from the bizzare practice the music industry has of lending its primary workers the money to make the product, and then allowing them to pay it back by deducting it from the $$ earned selling a few million units of the product that the artist just paid to make, consider this, often the dodgy industry has allready cut the artist out of the action, and the artist doesn't even get royalties because of some detail of small print written in legal-speak, that the artist could not translate to English at the time of sign up. And then you have the Nirvana scenario. In the early days of Nirvana, rather than the whole band claim the rights on the songs, it was all kept in one persons name, Kirt Cobain. As a result of this, the rights have now gone to Kirts widow, the very woman who at best drove Kirt to suicide, and if it was a fake suicide, she was the one who had the most to gain... So remember kiddies, every Nirvana record you buy, is helping pay for Courtney Loves drug habits and other excesses. That's called supporting the artist. It seems to me that the recording industry needs to tidy it's own act up long before it can call a paying CD buyer a thief just because we've taken the paid for recordings, put them on our HDD's, and kept the vulnerable originals locked in a draw somewhere. Theres also a certain amount of moving with the times... Show me a CD player thats even half as cool as amaroK, that can store as much music in one convieniant place, and can keep it in good condition, and display as much info about what one is actually listening to at the time? The record RIA needs to grow up.. its making it self look stupid with all this "stealing music" talk. Pot Kettle Black	personthingy (1670)
