One has to wonder how they would ever catch you making copies of your CDs to your computer. Assuming you never share the music with others they'd have to go all Big Brother on us to peek in the PC without our consent. Doubtless they would love to do that (RIAA is evil) but the implications are too profound to be ignored and I suspect they would never get the chance. At least I certainly hope not.
RIAA Home Searches. 
They are not coming in... my friend, Mr. .44 magnum says so 
He's a very eloquent speaker... and if he fails, Mr. .40 S&W makes a great backup speaker.

What happens when my hard drive crashes. Do I get my tracks reactivated on my CD? Automagically?
I am sure they would have a local distributor customer support helpline. You send the CD back and a few dollars for postage and replacement CD with the reason for requesting for a new copy. It is like the limited warranty clause when you buy a boxed game.
How would that sound, is it easy, fair and square? I mean everyone is happy isn't it? It is not like your drive fails every day.

I'm with Smith&Wesson's Bunny, though I prefer to use more, shall we say, organic means.
Soniren's Victoria III in "Davy Crockett Nuclear Mortar config," Stryker chambered for 155mm, and wee little Fleck, in fifty cal.
Also, Stryker, in the winter theater, with buckyball detonator.
Go for it RIAA. Strike my dogs down, and I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

Skimmed through most of the thread but I find this headline strange for a couple of reasons, this is after a year in which a number of record labels has almost utterly abandoned DRM in favour of a slightly higher price tag for media with more freedom's attached (these are often companies that have been at the forefront of new media formats) yet this article suggests that a group of record companies are going in the opposite direction. Does this signify a split in philosophies by entertainment companies.
Another thing that gets me is that the media market is changing rapidly these days and culture is too its shifted to a more on demand entertainment society yet the media industry seems to lag behind in this heck it still takes months for things to cross from US to UK markets with little reason other than classification and royalties contracts. I guess the question should be does the media industry feel that its missed the on-line band wagon and is not trying to isolate itself from it until it can come up with a plan that has firmer controls on content than currently exist after all the laws that apply to the internet are still regionally defined which means more paperwork if content is to be available across the board.

How much do you think old Hinds go for? Couple rocket pods, couple thousand rounds of chaingun ammo... I'm sure we can find a diplomatic solution to all this insanity....

I want a puppy!!! But I got too many animals right now... people love to dump the cats they don't want on my street and they always find their way to my driveway and then I have to keep them because they meow at me

Don't be sad. That is the best... nay only... way to adopt a cat. If you make your home friendly to a cat, and a cat decides to accept you, you have win. Be happy. It means you are good people. All the cats that have joined me in the last twenty years have come in this fashion. They've joined me despite the dogs.
Are you really seeking a good GSD pup? I can make connections.

The only possible way I can think of that the music industry could even come close to stopping digital music sharing is to go back to an analog format.
As long as music is distributed in a digital format of any kind it can be copied perfectly. Analog music now thats another story.
This whole topic always reminds me of when the software pirating association was trying to go after people for "contributory copyright infringement". This is what they were calling it when people would put links on their website directing people to other sites with copyrighted stuff on it.
There is literally millions of internet servers out there. And anyone can in .00001 of a sec put a link to one of those servers. And anyone with the greatest of ease can dump a copyrighted MP3 on one those servers.
Get rid of copyrighted MP3's off the net? Seriously do these people have like no clue whatsoever as to how the internet works.

GSD's rock! I am more than a little upset to find the pics of my GSD have gone missing...need to sort that out. While I love all dogs I have grown up with GSDs since I was born. Absolutely amazing animals.
I will say I think GSDs have suffered terribly from overbreeding and finding a good one requires a fair bit of effort and when you find one they will likely be quite expensive.
My pup (8 year old pup) is actually a Shiloh Shepherd which is a sort of re-bred GSD. My wife refused to get a GSD due to temperament issues with poorly bred examples (and I argued against her and then had my in-law's GSD almost take my lip off for no reason [really, I was just sitting there]...total fail). I stumbled across the Shiloh and my wife lost all of her complaints about the GSD in one go.
Essentially with the Shiloh they aimed to bring the German Shepherd back to the ideal of Rin Tin Tin. The super dog that did all and I can attest they succeeded. Simply spectacular dogs. Adjectives fail...truly win from nose to tail.
Unfortunately some unscrupulous breeders have dug in to the Shiloh lines to make money but the good breeders are literally fanatical about keeping their lines healthy and improving. Expect to pay thousands for one of their dogs though (worth ever penny IMO).
EDIT: And before anyone says GSDs in the US are fine consider that US law enforcement agencies acquire all their GSDs from overseas and NOT within the US. Weird to see Homeland Security going to the Czech Republic for dogs.

I can't understand why the music industry not make it so that CDs when tracks are copied, there are hardware and software support to make them invalid. It would make tracks on CDs no longer exist when they are moved to iPods or hard disk or something. The same goes for moving tracks from PCs to CDs, etc. Then make it so that tampering with the industry standard hardware and software copy protection mechanism is a criminal offense.
That would make everyone happy, wouldn't it? People get to move tracks that they own around and owners don't have to remember what is allowed or not allowed to do. Record owners don't have to worry who is buying one CD and making a few redundant copies of tracks elsewhere. If I own 2 same CDs then I legally own 2 copies of tracks that I can move around.
By the way, I am talking about activated tracks or something like that. Would that be accepted?
Anything that is supported/powered by software can be hacked. Anything supported directly by hardware MIGHT be hacked, but will definitely by expensive and put off consumers. So what they do instead is sue their customers and put them off that way instead. I swear the recording industry is handling the digital age very, VERY poorly.
Anyways, it's a good thing that the only music I listen to was created to be distributed for free.
/edit: changed *****ed to hacked due to bad word filter...

On the animal note - I wish I had a dog but my family has cats. All of which were ones which we rescued or adopted us (in door cats anyways) the outdoor cats randomly appear and disappear. We don't ask questions, we just put food out (i love living on a farm with three big red barns that people drive by and drop their unwanted pets off at, bastages)
On the music note - Providing that you copy the music over without being online at the time and then either move it to a protected folder or a non-shared folder your pretty free to do whatever. I use external HDD's which can be easily smashed and scattered if it comes down to it. Plus if I notice a program suddenly pop up that I haven't allowed access there goes all the hdd plugs from the computer (paranoid - YES)

Cause that would just be hilarious for the whole 5 min's that would last.
"O.K, let's Sue M$, wait they just bought the Law firm we work for and we're all fired." 
Probably more likely the reason they choose to sue easy targets instead of "OMGWTFIbeenowned" huge companies with legal budgets greater than that of most contries.
I say prep for dustoff, nuke the site from orbit...
Only way to be sure! |

God I hate record companies. They should be looking at ways to exploit and market new technology rather than clinging on unnecessarily to the old. Smacks of desperation, really.

In 10 or 20 years those lobby buffoons will have died out, and the internet generation will be in control. We probably won't have to deal with the current "copyright" issues, although i suspect DRM will survive in a more subtle form.
In any case, let the old windbags have their final years of unrest, decreasing profits and ignorance, they're the ones that are working so hard for it :)
