Guys, Please Pay Up

Seriously, cant you handle a service which costs 50 dollars a year and allows unlimited file access and sharing? I may force the developers of Kazaa to offer a 50 dollar a year subscription service, and then allow them to go back to normal file sharing, since the people to who the money rightly belongd would get it.

yea right good luck convincing the content providers to give up DRM, and cable like subscription fees, and etc.

Who are you to be able to force anyone to do anything? LOL and then allow them?


What kind of delusions of grandure are you suffering from?

Why dont you force me to pay for the service? yah, start right here, with me.

Let's see....

Are these pay services going to have...

Bootleg concert recordings?

Old 60s television shows?

Movies before they hit the big screen?

Strange oddball song like "Fuck You" by "Dean and the Weenies"?

Demo tapes and studio roughs?

Pr0n?

Any other wierd recorded media someone might get a desire for that legit record companies don't sell?

I don't think so....

Back to the drawing board. Change copyright law to permit all recordings to be sold without prior permission of the owner and you'll fix all the above problems.

Dude, we've gone through this many times on this and other forums. It wouldn't work because:

1. There is a sizable portion of files on Kazaa are fakes or of poor quality. People use it cuz most of the stuff on it is legit, any moron can use it, and it better than having no other way to get freebies. I'd rather use newsgroups for my new and old full albums thanks, cuz many poster rip these with the utmost care and attention to quality. (For the most part, and we're talking much better than Kazaa)

2. What idiot would pay for the same service somebody, somewhere is offering for free? WinMX, Gnutella 1/2, Blubster, IRC, etc.

2a) Some of us college students are too smart to be paying an extra 50 bucks a year when we're trying to pay hiked tuitions, dorms, rent, food, utilities, etc.

3. The software change would take so long that Kazaa will just go the way of Napster, and bam, you have a new reigning file sharing app and its back to square one.

Quit being such a sissy (christian?) conservative and go buy music yourself from such places as buymusic.com if you feel so damn quilty about it, you're not gonna change anything by telling the masses what to do. Follow your own edicts and shut the hell up. You're no better than the other newbie trolls in here trying to rile up people with an opinion that you know will stir a negative response. Mods, please close this thread...

who are you, and what the hell have you been smoking tonite?

[mojo-ris-in]

Ya know you go away for awhile and all hell breaks loose...LOL

Kid your idea is flawed for every reason already pointed out. If you want to pay 50 bucks a year for a music service that will wrap your downloads in DRM then by all means go for it. However you'll end up more than 50 dollars(no pay service in their right mind is going to let dl unlimited music that cheap) in the hole and nothing to show for it than some DRM files that you can do nothing with. Good Luck
