aguy2go Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 wakeup: I hope you realize that the RIAA is infringing on your freedoms. He built a search engine... much like google. He didn't design it to trade mp3's but MP3's are an obvious application. What next will they shut down google?? What will it take for you to realize that contrary to what the RIAA is claiming... Napster has been the greatest technological breakthrough in the music industry. When Napster first came out music sales increased by 30%. Napster helped popularize many different music forms and helped new artists (50Cent) make it in this business. Until the music industry figures out how to further capitalize on music sharing programs they are acting immoral in that they are preventing anyone from using this technology.FREE THE MUSIC!!

ketaman Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Well that was a pretty fuckin intelligent addition to a forum. I was already pro-piracy (shit, i get to see movies before they come out in theatre AT HOME, for cheaper than the theatre) but that just reinforced my beliefs.

aguy2go Posted June 11 Author Report Share Posted June 11 Are you saying that because the music industry has their thumb in their *** we shouldn't be able to have file trading software?Keep in mind that I trade lots of files a year (images, documents, code), things that are not copyrighted. Since it costs lots of $$ to include a clause in your software to prevent copyrighted data from being transferred the RIAA should provide us with an alternative file swapping piece of software or pay us to add the clause in our own software.Taking the life savings of a pimple faced kid in College isn't going to help their case. It's wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
