I can pretty much sum them up with the two words: about time
I can sum it up in one: "yawn".
or "predictable", as in roll your eyes.hardly a well won battle for the good of civilization, more like winning a small point and then escalating the battle to even worse proportions.
drm's the last of anyone's pirating worries at the moment though.
I personally don't care about it, it's a media hyped red herring.
ip level monitoring, now that's something to worry about.RIAA taps ISP's to fight downloading
That was so predictable even I predicted it over a year ago. and its also the thin edge of the wedge.
couple that with this (times article police set to step up hacking of home computers) and you'll be begging for the good old days of companies trying to stop multiple copies of their product being circulated through illegal channels by trying to restrict the copyablity of said files.
I'm so glad I don't by into the whole digital downloads thing, 78 rpm cylinders all the way for me.smirk at sam f's comment. ya cheeky fuck.

music industry failing #1
interestingly this isn't a failing when applied to nightclubs where its considered par for the course to treat your customer like cattle, cue em in lines, search em, treat em rough, soon enough people accept it as part of going out.

waiting for you to direct people to the points you've already stated

Shamelessly stolen from Fascisti su Marte!
possibly, but its still a cool idea. rewriting history from a fixed point on like 1995's Richard III.
They should do it as a scifi thiller, not a comedy.
The nazis made such good villains and it would make a break from all the terrorists ones at the moment. -
This has got to be one of the best film ideas i've seen in a while.
hope they actually make it.
iron skyin 1945 the nazis went to the moon,
in 2018 they're coming back -
Was there no good bands in Chch on NY eve?
that's a loaded question.

I've just lost my massive rant about TradeMe.
something to do with them deleting accounts cos they're bored with making all that money for sitting on their arses letting an automated site do its thing?

get anything good for xmas?
yeah, a day off :)
didn't mean to sound grumpy, jut observing the apparent lack of celebration elsewhere and wondering why. celebration and levity is contagious but its hard to get infected if it's missing for the year.
what happened to good old population manipulation? are our puppet masters all worn out after a hard year of bullshitting us? -
paying for Sky
I'm surprised sky hasn't pulled its finger a bit more to lessen the impact of pirated tv downloads.
It really is the poor cousin of what it is trying to impersonate in american cable channels. everything's so out of date on there.in chch we had a city council concert with a lame covers band playing top 40 hits from the 60's - 90's. At least the fire works were nice.
maybe people weren't really into celebrating a very tiring year marked with exhausting elections and economic turmoil. It doesn't feel like anything finished this year and all we got was the opening of a whole lot of uncertainty.
