why not it would solve the debate world wide if all recordable media was taxed and this went as copyright then the user could do exactly as they wish and download what they want share if they want without fear of the the copyright people sueing for thousands of dollers.

1 Be dictated to as to what web site I visit. they have tryed to tell people what site is allowed even when at home.

2 Be told i cant have my Mobile phone (some try to get employees to leave them with security or not bring them to work in the first place.

3 be told well anything of a personal nature by an employer.

If they dont like it i see no point in working there.

BTW I now run my own business

as i said before all copyright is theft theft of knowledge theft of enjoyment as you cant do what you want with the stuff you buy music or film. besides who the hell gave a private company the right to dictate law oh i forgot corrupt senators and congress.

This applies to only sound exchange member companies therefore cutting the amount of indie music played talk about sellout.

We had NTL until we moved now we cant connect to them the cable runs 25 metres from the house but they wont bring it down how stupid.

The next thing that will happen you will post a blog criticizing Gordon and the man himself posts a comment spelling out his policy or is that spinning out. either that or you get your door kicked in and whisked off to the slammer for a little reconditioning.

James said "you offshore pirates can continue going about your business ". Not everyone lives in the USA just because we don't live their does not make us pirates. Though having said that I started in broadcasting many years ago. On a ship. So I guess it does. Strange to think now that the station that defied the British government is still on air the government that tried to stop it has long gone. think about it.

You don't seriously think this is about artists do you it is to stop Internet radio particularly the smaller stations. How can it be about artists when the major labels tie the artists down in contracts so they keep the copyright money that the artist should rightly receive. Where I do agree with you is that all forms of broadcasting is a promotional vehicle weather that is Radio or Streaming. What also escapes you is that if the RIAA get their way in America then they will start to force the same on the rest of the world.

As the BBC in the UK is paid for by a license charged to all who have a TV, It is in their charter that ALL services should be free and available to the citizens of the UK free of charge hence the argument with open source operating systems.

Some commercial tv companies ITV and Channel 4 are already public with their players but the ISPs have not said a word about them. I and many others will NOT pay extra to receive a BBC service.

either to the BBC or a third party. It is ours as a right granted by government, ISPs can get ready for several court actions if this goes ahead.

copyright is theft!!!

Did I not read a few weeks ago that the American Baseball or NFL could not claim copyright of their games or of films of their games taken by supporters watching.

Therefore the same applies to English and Flemish football league which I have said for the last 3 months.

They even charge Hospital Radio and TV stations £1500 per year double in the first year. bear in mind both these are charities. Not sure who is worse them or the IRAA.

What they dont have a right to do is poke their nose into other countries which they appear to be doing. they can only operate in the USA sorry people in the USA your stuck with them.

The rest can legitimately give them the finger.

The RIAA, sound exchange. BPI, NAB. and EMI, Viacom scatch any one connected with the major record industry

I cant see this working unless google has every film on its data base ever made and even some not yet released dont think the film comps would agree to that.

As too the league I still say if the film was taken from the stands then it is not INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT, Only if it is taken of the TV .The person who takes the film owns the copyright and the football league can stick it.

Forget it beeb why the """" cant you just do what the radio does with listen again.

While you play with that malware and spywear I dont wasnt to know.

Broadcast radio don't even pay this royalty

The Chinese government love their censorship. Even to the extent of jamming Voice of America and the BBC radio. whats this got to do with the internet you ask I run a 24/7 rolling news internet station we get loads of hits from China even though we talk about what they are trying to stop their people knowing like Taiwan for example.

this is bound to include \drm of some kind as the existing DRM digital rights mistake that wont even let me copy stuff i own the rights too they can forget it.

Its time for a showdown I know a number of stations that will stay on no matter what Ive said it before and il say iyt again the internet was once free for the people lets take it back from government controls.

strange how digital appears to be the same criminal state as murder.

the US should spend more time on real criminals not DRM

michael you will be welcome

VM 10 meters from our door cant get it. My wife is blind she has audio description don't know if VM supply it Sky Do. Freeview do. The new recently published throttling of bandwidth my wife is a computer programmer Myself a archaeologist we both spend hours on line researching for various projects. The measly amount allowed wouldn't last 5 minutes when we have a video conference. maybe even 2 separate conference going on at the same time in different rooms Work that out vermin sorry virgin. by the way virgin is described in some dictionaries as a female who is inexperienced so they have the right name.

I feel for the guy why did microdoller bother as for their system well i refuse to allow their genuine advantage on my machine. It is no more than spyware.

the IrAA will charge for non members material and keep the money.

through their soundexchange personally i think that the record companies should pay the radio stations for the free plugs they have had over the years all copyright is theft to either the end user who hands are tied with DRM or the radio stations. They cant tell me that the artists receive the money paid as they pay it to record companies the artists are tied up with contracts that do not give the artist money bands make money from gigs not records they just get the band known and liked. and fleesed by the record companies

The IRAA may ask that the ISPs or similer stop the stations outside the US from being heard!! unless they pay sound exchange could happen

so you buy your ipod you put your finger print into it then you connect to your computer unknown to you your fingerprint is then sent to a government site stored on a data base then acessed by anyone with a internet connection. Brillant oh and yes MI5 call to arrest you for the MP3 you downloaded from a peer to peer site six years ago and you get questioned about an email you sent to your girlfriend who was touring the world and was in Iran at the time. I could go on but theres a knock at the door.

the mobile mast ten meters above ground will radiate outwards to the sides very little signal getting straight so devide your figure by 30db 3db 1/2s the signal 8out of ten for effort
