Re: MPAA somewhat unfair, caps will kill pirating anyway.. I am curious how the ISP becoming cop will work with the Usenet.
Wont the ??AA have to get the records from the Usenent provider who is using SSL and who may not be in the US? If I were a premium Usenet provider, I would move my servers overseas once this happens.
It seems to be that the ??AA had an antiquated business model and is just suing because of the fact they really are not needed anymore. Artists can sell direct through their websites.
I admit to downloading low budget movies I have never heard of it. As a result, I have actually purchased movies from directors of independent films because i got a feel for what their movies were like.
I also purchase anything to support it that is good.
I would have some sympathy for the ??AA if they would have given me some sort of credit on Albums I purchased on 8 Track, Vinyl, Cassette, and then CD. Now they are saying I cannot even copy my CD to the MP3 player legally.
Give the people what they want for a fair price and the majority will pay for it.
Lets face facts. You cant stop friends from loading out DVDs or having friends over to watch them. It is just going to happen.
It seems to me the **AA wants royalties paid for EVERY VIEWING/LISTENING of a songo or movie. It is all about excess greed.
If TWC was to send me a three strike letter then I would swtich to Earthlink which ironically enough goes through Time-Warner. Some broadband company in almost every area is going to turn the other way and allow people civile liberties.
The ??AA are entities that will be gone in 10 years hopefully forever. | | |
