I dont think its a suicide. I think its a good approach and they should try to generalize it. Not all movies are made equal why should we pay the same amount to see each one of them? eg. In every theater normal and 3D versions are priced
same. why? Also why should we pay the same amount to watch a cheaply made, transiently funny screwball comedy as opposed to a thoughtful and expensive (in terms of effort at least) movie?
I think filmmakers should have independence to set the ticket price to optimize their earning. It is free market economy after all!
So, you want to exonerate Facebook at the cost of refuting global warming?
You badly want to write a comment with "Streisand Effect" don't you!
This is not a case of unintended (on the part of the student) consequences since he wanted publicity and he is getting it.
With oxygen station you are paying for the convenience of breathing clean air without traveling far.
How do you know? Probably he did pay for the air (google for japanese oxygen centers). He doesn't want to breathe the same air we commoners inhale.
Given the rise of bottled water in last 20-30 years I wont be surprised if we have to pay for the air in future.
Coming back to the point, he is also the executive VP of a magazine called http://streamingmedia.com/ . The subscription is free (for both digital/soft copies).
I wonder how he makes money? Or his content is worthless perhaps!
Well.... they are talking about just the sales income. What about all the money they get by threatening innocent people (You downloaded 3 songs. Now pay $30,000 or go to jail).
Depends on the context. Lets say X infringes on Y's copy right.
1. If X=person-backed-by-a-big-corporation and Y=some-poor-guy-who-was-probably-born-200-years-ago, then X is an creative artist
I am tired already! somebody please finish this list :)
Moses has the copyright on ten commandments. If you follow any of them you have to pay **AA (they will take care of passing that to his descendants).
Probably the accountant did taxes for the lawyer and the lawyer did not had the money to pay him. So the accountant is making him fight embarrassing lawsuits.
BTW, do you know why this lawyer has no money? Probably because the same accountant manages his finance.
Going by your analogy, the studios can only see the headlight (internet), but not the car (reality).
How about if your work can be easily replicated? (i.e. you paint a car and that is copied to other cars, and lets say, you put a lot of effort into designing your painting).
I am not saying what he is doing is right, but just that your situation is not comparable to his.
Not me. But many others. I don't download much stuff from tpb (and NEVER share) because I am afraid some RIAA asshole tracking me down and handing me a million gazillion dollar bill just cuz 100 ppl downloaded the song I uploaded.
I am ready to pay such tax if it allows me to download and share any media without government hassling me
oh come on!
Preview did show the backslash before g.
WYSI"N"WYG?
IMHO ditch urls. We should start using something like g{appropriate_search_word}
every smurf in the town wants their cut huh!
Until 1912, mail was delivered 7 days a week. As the postal service grew in popularity and usage in the 1800s, local religious leaders were noticing a decline in Sunday morning church attendance due to local post offices doubling as gathering places. These leaders appealed to the government to intervene and close post offices on Sundays
