Elbonia | Traps for dummies 1. It's not going to work for long when there are news reports about it right away. And now most of the file-sharing community are alert to this.
2. They required users to register, then download and install software to use the service. Supposedly it would make downloads faster. Can you say "red flag"? I knew you could.
The copyright cartels are running out of feet to shoot themselves in. Someday when it's too late they will wake up and realize, "Hey maybe we should offer high-quality, DRM-free downloads for reasonable prices!" |

Lets be honest here you can get that for free from a 1 min search or however long it takes to type in what you want. You can't beat free. However I won't lie yeah I download music and movies now if I like a movie I download I go buy it music I would never ever buy.
So really they're not losing sales cause most down loaders would never buy the movies and music anyway download or not. Hell downloading stuff has made me buy more then I would have before. |

Had they done this just after Napster had been shut
down, they would have made a fortune. Now it is too late
for them to put the genie back into the bottle.

I think the vast majority of people over 18 (aka, folks with jobs) would gladly pay for guaranteed high quality, DRM-Free downloads at reasonable prices. Particularly from high speed trusted/secure sites.
These morons (record and movie execs) forget that humans are impulsive by nature and want things NOW. Not thieves by nature. We live on fast food and microwaved meals. Other industries are making 100's of millions by catering to human nature. The record and movie industries are just too stubborn to cash in.
