I geuss if you want to enjoy a famous novel you need the author come
recite it for you
or if you want to enjoy Jim Carey's "Mask" he needs to act it live for you

artists can and do make clips available as previews
that is not what we are talking about
we are talking about you who take what is not yours to take and make
avaialble what is not yours to give away

by your logic, if I had a friend who stole a pile of concert tickets I
have a right to obtain them, distribute them and use them
that is the single weakest argument I have heard here yet
you are a real piece of "work" buddy

Have you heard of Netflix? Even though I could make an exact digital copy of
every movie I rent the movie industry somehow survives. Just as the music
industry would survive if they offered a service that gave me access to any
music album to listen to.

Yeah, how come nobody has given the world free downloadable copies of
concert tickets? Perhaps because we all don't yet have the capability
of easily printing on the correct color and stock of cardboard?

What do you think would happen if the promoted knew he sold 6,000
tickets and there were 18,000 people standing in line waiting to get
in, all of whom had tickets that they got free just by downloading and
"burning" them?

Me, me, me!!! Trash 80 Model III and Model IV for databases, word
processing, etc. TI 99 for games (such as they were). But my first sequencer
(Oberheim RMX) also loaded via cassette tape. Ignoring DSP based effects
boxes (which could be considered computers), I have currently have three
computers in the control room - console automation, PT HD3 rig and the one
I'm typing on. That doesn't count the computers at home.

'Computer Generation', indeed.

Yep, and as you type there is a group of dedicated computeristos working
to get 25K of Netflix's inventory processed for free downloading. When
the braodband action gets most everywhere you can kiss Netflix goodbye,
thanks to people like who will steal the material, just because they
can.

The problem with your model is you.

"most" p2p folks are listening to mp3 on Ipod like devices they dont
care about quality
and what makes you think that quality equal to any cd on earth can't be
made available for the file thieves?

What do you mean, they didn't tour? They toured thru most of their
career, only stopped after Sgt Pepper, which wasn't too long before
they broke up.

Yep, 1620 here too. But then I jumped to a System 360. And then gave it all
up until I could afford a used 286.
