Laws have been used throughout history to protect industries from the natural course of events - agricultural protectionism being the most widespread example. The DMCA is simply another such law, designed this time to protect the obsolete business model of the media conglomerates.
What irritates me most about this is that the media industry is probably the fourth biggest perpetrator of theft in the world (after governments, large scale religions, and organised crime). And they have the gall to pretend that imposing draconian restrictions on their customers is for the benefit of the artists - the very people they are stealing from through the use of "industry standard contracts". God, they are such hypocrites. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
