The law also allows dead penalty in certain states in the US. But that does not mean I have to agree with it. Laws can change, and especially with this discussion which is fed by new techniques, I can imagine people try to test the law and maybe eventually will force a change.

I don't, it was a sentence which I put there to stress my view on defending the music industry. I don't know much about Pete other than that he is a well-respected member of the lounge, I think he is a wise person, and I often agree with him.
(I didn't know my posts on the lounge were getting refereed nowadays :D )

Occhidiangela,Jan 19 2006, 02:37 PM Wrote:No.  Pete is suggesting that consumers use their brains, not get sucked in by hype, and defeat the evil conglomerates by not acting like a sheep.  Or, one can blissfully wander through life in the Gumpesque mode, demonstrating that "stupid is as stupid does."  The choice is in the hands of the consumer.
I will not react on this one here. (see previous thread about copying music)

Occhidiangela,Jan 19 2006, 02:37 PM Wrote:Yes, and fools get milked, right along with goats and cattle.  They smell about the same.  I direct your attention to PT Barnum: "There is a sucker born every minute, and two to take him." 

Sorry for not only thinking about myself.
