so whats the actual deal with this- i mean we all know there are the wankers who are burning and selling albums off at $10 a pop, but am I allowed to buy a cd and then make a copy for my car?? Or make a mix cd from the stuff I have already bought?? Surely thats ok?
every protection will be thwarted - hackers love a challenge...
so the life-span of a sony artist release will be the length of time between a launch and a crack...
after which time the artist ends up in the bargain bin and sony launches a new fad-band with new copy protection in place
all this piracy has gotta be going on in the 12-16 age bracket - cos they're the ones bringing sony etc the cash - teen idols etc... look at the top 10 - blecccch
how about if all the high-profile teen shmulz keeps getting anti-copy releases so white trash kids have somewhere to throw their disposable weekly allowance (oops is this too harsh - tch tch tch)
and all the real music just continues to be distributed at affordable prices - since they're not in it to make a gazillion dollars anyways...
you know there's actually music available direct from low-profile sources
all they ask is $10 or so and postage
and read this - from the dude that recorded nirvana toured with hdu recently
"The idea that copyright exists for the benefit of artists, musicians, writers or programmers, he argues, is now laughable. New laws such as the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act are "not speaking for those who create, but those who hold massive amounts of copyright,"
firstly I'd like to say; I dont really call groups like Destiny's Child "struggling"...those people who are into music don't rip off bands who just got their first E.P. out or something similar. I think selling the copies is a bloody crime, but sometimes you can compromise. Certainly it has become out of control...my heart does not bleed for Virgin, EMI etc etc etc etc...not really.
People who burn NZ bands because thier to fucken cheap to buy the albums suck.
But...
if someone burns a "bonus disk" from any artist thats cool i dont have a
problem with.
Coz face "bonus disk" are just a record company gimmic to sell more albums.
it's not so much about whether its on sale or not - it's all about copyright. Your not supposed to violate somebody's copyright - whether they're selling somthing or giving it away or whatever.

it seems as this is pretty much targetted at the people you talk about: kids burning off the latest hit CD and selling it to their mates at school.
