If I go down for oinking Dan Hartman's "I Can Dream About You" (12-inch version), the world is FUCKED UP

There's precious little reporting going on that I can see. It's just a screed from Mr Police Man and Mr Record company.
Right enough, we don't often bother with what the criminal element says. "I think it's outrageous that they've got this £80m haul of cocaine. It's going to send the price rocketing, and I was going out this weekend".

That BBC report clip on youtube is worth watching for the montage of file footage on music piracy that includes napster, winamp, and a sound clip of 'the real slim shady.'

A stolen candybar is not a lost sale. The kids with the most candy are hoarding them because they can, not because they're trying to save money on paying for candy. No one is ever going to go out and buy 5-10 snickers bars a week, but that's about how many a good chunk of us download.

doesn't mean it isn't true? i haven't read the article, but just because college kids went to shows without having downloaded the album 20 years ago doesn't mean they still do

"Word is the Danish branch of the IFPI has "seriously proposed" allowing peer-to-peer downloading in exchange for a small monthly fee charged to all ISP users."

hypothetical question cos I'm not very smart with this stuff: if you download but piggyback your wireless, do you technically not have your own isp and therefore potentially get others (you're borrowing bandwidth from) into trouble?

<i>Aside: If Radiohead (the British rock band who achieved worldwide success via a long-term mutually-beneficial relationship with a major record label) were truly radical, they would have posted their new album as a BitTorrent file with a PayPal & bank account link for the fans who felt like paying. Not hosting it on some weird website with an awkward interface & requiring credit card info…</i>

lol in the uk i think people have been prosecuted for stealing wifi.
they could 'piggyback' piracy + wireless theft rofl
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 23 October 2007 20:56 (sixteen years ago) link
on the flip side, people used having wifi as a way out of being prosecuted for a while, since the downloading could theoretically have been done by anyone in the vicinity
