Realistically, how would he stop Steve from doing what he was doing anyway? How could Jack stop me from doing it in my living room, and then playing it for my friends? |
Generally though what you are doing with the White Stripes is infringing copyright, you are right though that there is very little Jack could do... however if you put those tracks on the internet or put it on a CD then Jack would (though more like may and probably wouldn't) use legal means to stop you.
Maybe I just have a laid back approach to it all. I have had people email me for permission to use stuff that was actually mine on my website, and my response was don't even ask, just take whatever you want... ... I really don't care. |
You have the freedom to make that choice with your IP, however you also need to respect others who choose not to make that choice.
Once an album is released, it hurts the recording company the most, as the band has usually made all they will make unless they are contracted further, which is rare. |
But the original writer of the song does get royalties from each copy sold and they do suffer from piracy.
But I do know for sure that if you want to reward a band for the music they play, buying the CD is a tiny bit compared to seeing them on tour.
totally agree

Well, I just don't care. I mean, I really dont. The world has change completely in the last 10 years, and if companies and such don't learn to change with the times, then they are screwed. I feel no sympathy for them. Not after getting ripped off all these years. Remember the VCR was almost considered illegal? How moronic does that sound today, especially when movie studios make more money off of DVD and VHS sales than they do in the theaters?
The laws in the books can say what they want, but most of the time there is very little they can do to enforce them. Some laws are just stupid, and maybe breaking them can get you into trouble, but it doesn't make them right. Did you know oral sex is illegal in some US states? How ridiculous is that? No one pays attention to it of course. I certainly wouldn't. If that makes me a criminal so be it. Hell, I am a repeat offender.
The funny think is how popular Kaza is (and obsolete), and how file sharer programmers are looking at the pros and cons of Kaza and making even better software to disguise what users are doing. The next big file sharer software will have everything encrypted, so no one will have any idea what is being exchanged except for the uploader and the downloader. You'll still see the IP addresses, but an outside won't have any idea what has been exchanged. Very sweet. There are already a ton of file sharing apps the hackers use that aren't obviously as common that do a killer job as well. The industry is wasting their time trying to fight it the way they are. If they IRAA wasn't suing 12 year old girls or 65 year old grandpas I would have more sympathy for them, but since they act the way that they do I feel none for them. If they had it their way, we'd still be using records.
I love it. I love the chaos of it all. You'd think I would be a die hard Epic Chaos player but I am not! I still love the Space Marines! Ultramarines at that!

| Quote (Mojarn Piett @ 18 2004 May,08:40) | Njal was a librarian who had a psyber raven and a psychic power that was basically the same as the Eldritch Storm of the Eldar.
Simple suggestions would be:
1) Psyber raven: gives +1 to action test for the formation he is with.
2) Wind blast: adds one blast marker to the target formation. Range 15cm just like the Smite.
To balance out Mr. Njal shouldn't have the "Smite" ability. |
'E's good, 'e is! Very simple rules, but effective, and true to background. Great stuff, Mojarn.
I suppose that some day Tuffskull will be explaining which colours and inks he used to paint the psyber-raven's cyber-eye...seriously, any Epic-scale raven ideas? Anyone wanting vultures big enough to ride on can opt for Warmaster Carrion, but these can't perch on a 6mm scale shoulder. So, is it green stuff or equivalent?
