: > people can only govern their own actions. : : Ah, but other people can also give their opinion of said people's : actions when they post to a public mailing list, no? well of course. and those not interested can skip over threads. : > if someone wants to copy MP3's fine, there : > should be some legal system to deal with it, : > and isn't there? its just not inforced. : But blatant advertising of this practice here is ok? no its not ok : but its not the only problems this list has. but i guess each person is going to have to deal with in their own way until people start getting booted for continued annoyances. like this post. : > and if someone treasures their vinyl or neatly : > tDR designed CD, and can't stand the thought : > of having ugly looking CDR's laying around, fine. : : I love it all, as long as the music is good. i love the music + the artwork. : That's why everything I ever say is IMHO. : : Guess what? : : Sometimes people will see your side of the arguement, : think about it a bit and maybe rethink their position. definately. and that works with some causes / some people. but the MP3/napster situation is pretty divided. and i know its harder to convince some broke bloke to buy records and quit ripping artists off, then it is to tell them stealing someones car. but thats a no brainer, right? : > theft is theft. something is missing. : : Huh? i was just saying most people consider theft when you actually take a possession from somebody. some people can't translate or fail to see that an MP3 is actually a lost dollar amount from an artist. used items could fall under this discussion too i beleive. : > copying is copying. source is still there. unlike : > theft of material items. and you can make charts : > and graphs of all the money lost that you want. : > hell thats their excuse for high prices on music, : > a percentage for pirating figured into the price. : : Nice rationalization you've got going there too. well whatever. the software industry has proved it. : > information is information. once anything : > gets put in digital form you can argue and yell till : > your head explodes / but their just hasn't been : > an effective way of dealing with it. but at the end of : > the day its hard for me to beleive that aphex twin is really out : > 10 grand. : : That wasn't the point of Christian's post, was it? it really was a general statement / a IMO. not directed towards the originator. : > and what release was aphex twins remix of autumn acid : > on? : : I'm not 100%, but I think this is a classic case of someone using : napster who has no idea what they were doing...titling a song. ah / figures. : Try µ-ziq's 'royal astronomy', perhaps? oh, so there is hope from M.P's latest output? allright i'll go back to my eyes wide shut DVD. how appropriate. klint.d --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
