Re: NBC complaint is legit and FCC should consider it Disregarding time, that water can indeed be completely free to you: go down to the river, make a cup out of your hands and drink. That simple. Not to say that it's a good idea, because you'll probably end up with dysentery, but still. |

I am truly amazed at how many people decided to ignore a very good argument in order to argue about the semantics of water being free. To most people in America, water is essentially free, or perhaps to please all of you people who can't get past technicalities, extraordinarily cheap when compared to bottled water. Yet, somehow, the bottled water companies have made a killing by selling water that costs more than gasoline (and people have the nerve to complain about the price of gas while drinking out of a water bottle). The point is that if you can sell water for $10/gallon, you can sell IP even when it is available to be pirated. If the prices were reasonable, the quality was better, and the functionality was not limited, I would certainly buy music or other content online. Instead, I can get better quality files with more functionality for free. Obviously their business model needs serious revamping and constantly suing potential customers is not the way to do it. |
