    You're missing the logic because you assume tape trading is illegal I assume.
    It has never been ruled illegal, no one has EVER been arrested for trading
    tapes... Although there is a case in some god forsaken european country
    where they arrested some punks for downloading mp3s, won't those evil
    little slimy bastards who download mp3s ever learn?

    Like I said, don't release it, you have full control.
    When you sign a record contract, unless you pay your own production
    costs, you are basically letting the record company own all the
    distribution rights 100% for your work, you lose control already at
    that point.

    > Yeah, but you're forgetting your own "perfect" copy argument...

    I didn't forget, like I said, mp3s aren't perfect copies.

    You're not going to piss me off about Napster or mp3s, because regardless,
    I'll still have my massive mp3 archive and my gigantic bootleg archive.

    I will include Ptacek's original post, just in case some of you have missed
    it.

    His argument is very eloquent and well written out. The only problem:
    It's based on conjecture. He is ASSUMING what you the person would
    use Napster for, that is where the problem lies.

    Napster never said what they released Napster for, whatever reason
    you use it for is your reason be it bad / good or for profit.

    The shirts will be done in the near future -and they'll only cost $10
    plus shipping!

    In other words, after shipping, $14 for most of you. Anything larger
    than XL will require a $1 surcharge, so that'd be $11 or $15 to your
    door. And remember, I'm being charged $1 for every size over XL. So even
    though a XXXL should logically cost you $17, according to my highly
    flawed pricing paradigm, it won't. Anything larger than XL is a flat
    price of $11, XL or under is $10, plus standard $4 USPS priority mail.
    if you live somewhere weird, try checking out my page for shipping info,
    i have the most common shipping zones listed there. In a nutshell,
    Canada & Mexico are $7 and most everywhere else that Priority Mail can
    be sent is $9. I'm double checking that cuz it seems expensive.

    And I did a little "user testing" on a USPS priority mail bag. I don't
    know what those bags are made of, but I stuffed 4 shirts in there and
    proceeding to beat the living hell out of that bag for half an hour. It
    emerged wrinkled but unscathed. So, I would place 4 shirts as the
    absolute maximum that could be sent for the $4 shipping price. More than
    that, you'll have to double the shipping for another bag. Or you could
    take a nice trip to NY and i'll meet you at the airport to hand you your
    shirts, and then I'll mug you. Welcome to Queens!

    As always, there'll be yellow and black. I also was going to do 10
    light-gray shirts, but instead, those will be white. And based on my
    feedback, a limited number of girl-shirts will be available in black,
    less in yellow, and none in white.

    I'll keep you all informed, let me know if there's any new questions.

    Is the DVD being release in both NTSC and PAL resolution?
    Not sure what to believe; CDNow and DVDExpress both state that it is
    region encoded 1, and obviously NTSC for the US,
    and Amazon.co.uk state that it is Region encoded 2, and PAL.

    As an Australian I'd prefer a region free (Region 0) disc (which I
    really
    hope is the case) and would prefer a PAL release due to its increased
    resolution.

    I'm taking it that you don't know anyone with DSL or a
    cable modem or a T1 line and a CD-RW. They can rip an
    entire CD in 30-60 minutes if they want assuming the
    song's available.

    Agreed there. But yet, the backstreet boys are still big

    There are a lot more people who are in the music industry
    other than artist and the record companies. And the bands
    and companies that are most prone to damage are the
    smaller ones. Not all companies are Elektra and Epic that
    have lots of money. Also, if the companies feel that there
    are a decrease in sales, they'll jack up the price so that
    they're happy with the profit.

    Yes, this is legitimaite, and positive. You have this
    right because it's your music, and Napster does help share
    non-copyrighted materials.

    Similar to distributing your own music, this isn't
    copyrighted. I love finding live recordings. But, as been
    stated clearly by everone, it is curently impossible for
    Napster to regulate legal and illegal uses. I know many
    people who uses Napster for legitimite purposes, and I
    know many people who use it illegally. Put yourself in
    their shoes. How would you feel if you spent days writing
    songs, days recording songs, days mixing songs and not get
    paid. Especially if you own your own studio and equipment
    (which cost many thousands of dollars). Although this
    isn't the case, it's the same principal - Getting paid for
    your work. There's an obvious problem with companies and
    stores overcharging for a CD, but ignoring copyright laws
    can make it worse.

    I wish this was true, but it isn't. We have CD's with no
    copyright protection on it. If people start abusing
    sharing privilege, then there will (and is) a demand for
    copyright protection. The protection must be developed
    ($$) and then put on all CD's and hardware ($$$) and guess
    who pays for it all? The cosumer. Something very similar
    has been proved with computer security and virus control.

    This isn't ment to be harsh, it's just my views on the
    blessful and devilish Napster.

            Be careful here because you're implying that a non-profit Napster
    is not necessarily bad/wrong. I think you intended to imply that but I
    wasn't sure.

            Downloading an MP3 illegally (via Napster or whatever) is *not*
    the same as taking a TV from a store (or a CD even). In one case, you
    have taken a physical object and removed it from another person's
    possession (stealing the TV). In the other case, you have copied the
    product and left the original in the person's possession (download via
    Napster). This is really not the same thing (not to say that it is
    necessarily right either). Since they are not the same your analogy
    fails, you cannot conclude that the security guard and Napster are
    equally bad/wrong. Using this analogy will not strengthen your arguments
    against Napster -- the rest of your arguments do a better job. There are
    certainly moral/ethical questions in today's world when deciding to
    download an MP3 for free instead of paying the artist for it.

    Hmm... let's see:

    Time to download from a fast source: 5
    Uncompress entire CD: 5
    Burn to CD with a 8x burner: 10 (75 minutes of music)

    Total of: 20 minutes

    I'd say yer pretty close with the 30 minute estimate :)

    This is a very common pro-Napster argument.

    They are not the same thing exactly, the same way "stealing and using a $100 bill" and "using a copy of a $100 bill" are not the same exactly.

    Anyway, even though the original is still there, it is easily for anyone with imagination to imagine that a person that obtained a copy of that music file is less likely to buy the CD. And of course, someone else in his turn can make a copy of that copy, etc. Is "less likely" equal to "a lot less likely" or "just a little bit less likely?" That's a religious issue. I lean toward the former, but I'm a cynical bastard with 20 years experience of economics as relates to music. :)

    The distinction between "physical" or "non-physical" objects is pretty meaningless nowadays, as anyone that's been convicted for selling credit card numbers or serving up copies of Microsoft software might be able to elucidate (from behind bars).

    And also "legal questions." I have said publicly many times before that I would accept whatever the courts decided, albeit probably with much gnashing of teeth if I didn't agree with it. Now it seems the appeals court mulled this over for a while, and struck a bit of a blow against Napster. But I'm quite sure the legal machinery has not made its last grumble in regards to this matter. :)

    Blathered about this many times in the past, sorry again. But the issues are extremely important for niche music in the future. I summarized previous blathering at http://www.panix.com/~jens/naspter.par .

    Check any reference book in which she appears in, and you'll see who owns or gave the image for use, usually in small type down the side of the picture. This is never free. The Louvre is getting kickbacks.

    Hey Jammers, Coming out of Lurk mode ( yawn ..stretch..scratch ) I think no matter what side your on we can ALL AGREE THAT THE NAPSTER DEBATE SHOULD END TWO DAYS AGO. I have no opinion whatsoever because I use Webtv and can't download shit.

    To register my opinions on something I do have experience with...... Whole Chocolate Milk. Toast before Butter, Peanut Butter before Jelly with Jelly on top but what kind of Jelly, Strawberry or Grape? Strawberry on a clear day Grape on a cloudy day.

    Now for Some DT CONTENT..... Since the bullshit clogging the jam recently I have lost track of who's doing what in the side project recordings Transatlantic 2 Mullmuzzler2 and so on Can someone update me on how far along things are.? BTW someone mentioned a MP forum recently, what's the deal, sounds interesting. Where do I sign up?

    Anybody else gonna miss Dale Earnhardt? I sure as Hell will. Blessed Be Billy

It is web-based and very user-friendly.

    ..and it's spyware. It installs WebTracker Companion, or something like that, which sends data from your computer to somewhere else, no one knows where. Be sure to have a good firewall program.

    Apart from this, AG is better than napster, but I really don't care for either one.
