Re: When democracy becomes Democracy When i was in high school we had a history teacher who taught us some very interesting ideas.
They were as follows and i believe they hold true.
True Communisim cannot succeed nor can true Capitalism.
Both are an extreme and do not look after enough of the peoples needs to be something that can be sustained.
With the more or less death of Soviet style Communism, did you notice that before that , corporations gave us more rights, more freedoms and once that the soviets communist govt was gone , union power was gone, and we have steadily lost rights under capitalistic regimes.
What now strikes me is that i believe that they are reching that peak of sustainability of control , that will now begin its reverse. The generation that feuled this ages and passes on. Now more liberal ideals must take root and the idea of an internet that isnt controled could even be argued as a national security issue on grounds that if BELL 100% controls things if BELL were controled then you lose the communications ability.
People such as myself will if they do this just tune out of the network.
what does that lose you. Well i was and am designing a game i want myself to enjoy. Making it opensource means others can help and even enjoy it. It feels good to give back doesn't it. When did bell give back considering we funded its rise.
And if you htink the of the republican nominee is 70ish and one of the recent bi-elections had a 25% voter turnout , does that mean that MP can represent that riding?
there should be a law that says 66% of a ridings voters must vote or no seat can be had, when that happens these noob politicians might have to do something to get us out to vote.
ive kinda been rolling numbers about on the SAC 5$ proposal for a counter proposal
and i htink ive got something
24.75 million Canadian internet accounts
MUSIC:3$/month -approx 75 mill/month 900millper year
-to be apportioned to song writers,and musicans that have a certian level of downlaods form a central tracker or p2p system.
-donate section like radio head had ( got them 2.5 times what label would have gotten them per unit avg)
MOVIES:5$/month - approx 125 mill/month = 1.5 bill
( to be given like above based on available data regarding
downloading , sales of dvdrs, sales of other venues, thus they get, also you can eliminate distribution costs , and any advertising comes form your own share )
NOTE a portion of this would and could be given directly to canuck films and in fact a certain percent MUST be given.
SOFTWARE:
NON COMMERCIAL USE: FREE
when you commercially use a software you are right now legally supposed to liscense it or face a fine or possible imprisonment.
Think of this way. Person dls the 7000$ autocad, learns how to use it. He/She then buys a liscnese and can use it making his money back.
Why this model for software, because if you have a monthly fee for it you would have to include ALL the opensource softwares and a donation from this monthly to all those and i know the software (proprietary end anyhow) would not wish that. if they do tack 2$ a month
so we have 10$ a month to legalise p2p by a liscensing schema
add 2$ a month for ISP to building netowrk bandwidth capacity that if they take it MUST be used and verified to be on INTERNET FOR END USERS BANDWIDTH. NOT SHAREHOLDERS.
THUS the idea that ISPS have to pay crazy sums to upgrade is now given about 50 mill/month to upgrade or 600MILL/year
and beleive me 6BILL in ten years for a 33 million population country is MASSIVE.
NOW
the next thing to deal with is the price gouging of wireless and cell phones.
ALso while other govts get in gear wiht linux our govt would rather pay MS a 100$ per unit tax
12$ a month
i pay 34 now that would mean 48$ a month for a 200GB 5 megabit account with completely legal use of p2p.
uploading format modding and downlaoding, could even try ones hand at setting up trackers, or p2p systems ( that would generate even more revenues for isps)
this brings a total of 3.5billion max in.
-dont want to legally use p2p
A) traffic shaped , protocol and bandwidth shaped heavily restricted account.
:legal free stuff you have to get via http
:note dont whine about linux you can get all the top linux iso's via http
:increase fines and penalties if you get caught not having the liscnese account.
B) make it mandatory that grama accounts be advertised as well so that people that JUST want to surf webpages and check email can do that ( 1 megabit should suffice)
if we push hard enough we can have a definate differant path then the americans, even warner brothers has looked at my idea and thinks that world wide the idea would get them 20 billion.
If this is done right it might truly end the so called scene
i also beleive that fully 75% of p2p users would be ok with say one commerical in a tv ep
do it right in middle and know we can edit it out so dont get happy that way.
i for one would rather get form the cbc then some nameless person i do not know......
play on that.
get into h264/x264 recoding of xvid's and dvdrs.
a dvdr is usually 3-4gb
a h264 at same res can be about 700meg
xvids are never same res dvdrs
recoding xvid tv is wicked if isps are worried about network bandwidth
get people into this tech
7.5 gb (1 full tv season ) becomes 2 gb
so in that sector you decreased bandwidth of your network a full 66% OH MY, go ahead with xvids and its a 50% decrease
with dvdrs its even bigger 77% decrease in size
the HD dvdrs go from 30+GB to about 8-12GB
as you can see the compression tech is the key
so if htey were serious sneak people around or ask people about it.
release it that way
do versions for ipods and psp's and pcs
music do flac versions and aac
trust me do this and you over night end a feud and war and begin to rake in the cash to everyone and once again entertainment can be about fun ......
ONE other note
the 2$ for isps would also mean that 3rd aprty isps would directly get funds to BUILD up there networks.
and remember x264/h264.avc.aac is the future |
