 | Now that pirates finally made it to the "Bush Lague".Will one see a "shock & awe" display upon file traders.? Were their no P2P programs.Will that actually prevent file trading.?
NO Jack & Jill thru friends, family, neighbors, coworkers will still trade files the old fashioned way just like the cassette tapes of yore.File swappers on the net are not for profit but listening enjoyment,and most likely every 8 out of ten buy the cd themselves.Look at music sales it PROVES that point,Sales is not hurting like these greedy bastids claim.
The problem they may have is with the people SELLING copies of X for an income though it may be small.I see this as just another way to control what one does with one's computer,that DRM doesn't or Longhorn or any other silly dcheme's that has yet to be cooked up in order to accomplish this dirty deed.
This time it's "big brother" looking out for corp. intrests at the expense of OUR tax dollars.In my opinion we're going to see a new barter system emerge.In a way it has (P2P) and it will win. -- Honk if you've never seen an uzi fired from a car window |
