Would you consider paying X amount per album (eg $0.50) or X amount per month for high-quality music fully backed by record companies.
This would eliminate chances of
1. Wasted bandwidth downloading fakes
2. Low quality sh*t
3. Prosecution

no i wouldend there's allways way too get it free :D
so you wouldnt even consider it
whats the main reason you use filesharing software then
too get and share file for free
i mean when i would have payed for the file's that i have i would be broke :P
What I would consider...
As long as it a a fair dollar value.Quote:
Several people have nominated ISPs as collection points for P2P. Every Internet user gets web access from an ISP, and most have a regular financial relationship with one as well. In exchange for protection from lawsuits, ISPs could sell "licensed" accounts (at an extra charge) to P2P users. Alternatively, they could charge everyone a smaller fee and give their customers blanket protection
Again if it is a fair amout.Quote:
Another place to generate revenue is on the media that people use to store music, also known as a "media tariff." Canada and Germany tax all recordable CDs and then distribute the funds to artists. In the U.S., we have royalty-paid recordable CDs and data CDs. It's difficult to pay artists accurately with this system alone, but other data (statistics from P2P nets, for instance) could be used to make the disbursement of funds more fair.
Just 2 ideas taken from an EFF page at
http://www.eff.org/share/compensation.php.
Also I'm sure you will ask what I think is fair regarding the first ...
Under $10 a month, possibly unde $5, plenty if you mutiply by millions of user.
that sounds a lot better :DQuote:

why pay when you can get it for free...??
I think the ideas I posted above is better than the current long term idea the AA has about sueing everyone and costing some of us to cough up attorney fees or worse. Lets be realistic this needs to come to an end at some point, its out of hand. Besides I'de be happy to give my ISP under $10 a month for what can be got with a clear head, not to mention a little sanity compared to all of this kaos at hand.Quote:

Besides this isn't FREE anymore, if you consider all the aggravation of weeding through fakes and malicious code that they've created, unless you consider your time is worthless.
Thats REALITY.

if you know what you're doing, the situation isn't too bad
also, what's the point in starting a topic asking for opinions only to ignore them completely when they contradict yours?
Errrrr...Quote:

First I didn't start this topic.
Second I was just having a dialouge with you which I will avoid in the future,
since you only wish to have one line responses.
Agreed.Quote:

that is unfortunately not the idea of filesharing - and there is more
behind the idea: we have to share our thoughts openly (except some private one)
to understand each other better :)
But there already exist some of these kind of services for Apple as you read:
and if you look in normal music shop: if you want to order a hard to order/find
cd, YOU HAVE TO WAIT 2 or 3 WEEKS UNTIL IT ARRIVES :( That is possibly more or less one reason also why people try to search for their music on Kazaa :)( -
means: if I can get a good really good music as fast as possible on the internet
- order on amazon and get it in at least 2-3days - I would probably try to buy it -
but if it is take very long... Another reason why I would buy a cd is: if it is good
it is worth to support the musician for making more music :)
If you look on all these new small artists - it is difficult to find a place in
the world of music for new artists :(
thanks anyway, david.
f*ck that I'm not paying 1 cent
