Okay, thanks a lot So I'm guessing the Admins don't have to wait? Also, if I'm not annoying you with a billion noobie questions, do the Coolio points have any say in your "destiny" on the boards, that is, say you get a whole bunch of negative ones and not a single positive one, are you gonna get banned or something?

Great intro post- I feel like we're bestest friends already. I am new too, so thanks for asking all the questions - it helped me out a lot.

See Ya around.

Somedays I believe Darwin was seriously on to something with natural selection.

So to make a big deal that a 70 year old dude doesnt have a myspace page and isnt on AIM all the time is sorta ridiculous.

Do you know exactly what the RIAA is? It's the engineers, technicians, accountants, etc; everyone it takes to run a Recording Industry. The same as programmers, code writers, game developers, etc; the people who work to make a living producing software. To "shut down" the RIAA is about the same idea as firing or laying off everyone who writes code or programs for a company. If people didn't STEAL the music to start with; there'd be no need for lawsuits on the scale there is today. Same with cracked and hacked software. The only difference is you're talking about recording engineers instead of software engineers; and the recording engineers have one central organization to look out for them (RIAA), where software programmers dont. Yet.

wow.

ahhh. Well, thank you for the information. What I meant was, how much money they would save by not perusing all this litigation against everyone. I  wonder if what they spend trying to eradicate the sharing of music, might be doing more harm than good.

What if they put all the money that they spend in legal fees and  put it instead into the creation of new music and into reimaging the music industry to fit today's obvious culture changes.


I didn't mean to get all up in your grill, yo.

I always buy a back edition of textbooks when possible the price usually drops to about $10-$30 a book.

I wonder how much the music industry should save by shutting down the RIAA.

"The recording industry and U.S. radio companies have squared off for decades about whether AM and FM radio broadcasters should pay royalties to singers, musicians and their labels.

But now the debate is getting meaner; there's more at stake as the recording industry seeks new income avenues in the wake of wanton peer-to-peer piracy and declining CD sales in part due to the iPod and satellite radio. A U.S. House subcommittee could vote as early as Thursday on a royalty measure."

good god.

"As someone told me lately:

"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"

 As you may know NPR is a radio news station which discusses current events, politics and culture. Yet even though the average age of an NPR listener is 47, the station surprises me sometimes. A few days ago, I was listening to this story about social network etiquette:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Once you've learned how to navigate new communication technologies, there's a new problem to tackle: how do you actually communicate? Should you ignore the unsolicited invitations to play online Scrabble and compare movies you've never seen with someone you've never met? Can you be friends with someone you've never met? Can you ignore their "friend" requests? Steve Johnson, Internet critic for the Chicago Tribune, explores the nuances of online etiquette with Scott Simon."

Its just so bizarre to hear these older men discussing the etiquette of a friend request on Face Book.

I <3 NPR.

How am I not surprised for this to come out of Colorado Springs. I have been to focus on the Family before and let me tell you, it is just about the creepiest place on earth - lots of security cameras and gaurds everywhere.
