Re: great
said by Maxo  :said by ifarrell :Na, rumour has it they are going to stop production of CD's and start selling Vinyl Records again  They do still sell vinyl records. I have some new ones in my stash. And many of my Vinyl Records I listen to in mp3 format on my computer. There is no way to stop the digitization of sound. Physically impossible, short of physically removing the recording device from everybody. I wouldn't put it past them.
If the &^AA had their way, they would ban all recording devices.
They've been fighting it since the Dark Ages. |

My brother rebuilt a Mcintosh tube amp and the thing would crank and blow any speakers we had. Three HUGE transformers...I painted skulls on them for him. Too bad he sold it as now they make speakers thak can handle them. Tubes. Geeks rule! I don't think it comes with a spare, but the print says they make tubes that will replace this one if/when it fails. |

said by novaflare :said by ifarrell :Na, rumour has it they are going to stop production of CD's and start selling Vinyl Records again Hell i miss the warmer sound of vinal my self. There are some highly specialized sound cards out there that add this warmness. Theres a paticular mother board that uses a cathode tube to add a warmness to the sound. Ive heard one in use and it is quite nice make most high end sound cards sound like total crap in comparison. Personaly im suprised the record execs havent started creating vinal records to make some cash. There are still a large number of the 30+ crowd my self included who would buy records. Its funny but you can buy serious stereo equipment equiped with things like turntables and even 8 track tape decks (corse they also have cd player tape deck and cd burner and are many 1000s of dolors and are mostly aimed at people looking to make masters or remasterign of new albums.)

Na, what'll happen, since they found they can't sue those under 18, is the following: -- packaging on CD's will become like software, with lengthy copyright license terms on the outside detailing what you can, and cannot, do with the copyrighted material contained on the CD therein; -- opening of the package will constitute acceptance of the terms of the license; -- since this acceptance is only enforcable on adults, stores will be prohibited from selling CD's to anyone under 18; -- Oops! Someone in the music companies realizes that almost all of their existing sales are to people under 18; "what will we do now"? Very simple. Pay more dollars to congress and have the laws changed that anyone regardless of age can be sued. No more protection for pre-18 year olds!

But how does any of that stop a 13 year old from downloading and sharing music?
No one has to buy anything for that to occur. |
