02:02 <****> woah sorry
02:02 <****> n0xus usually porn
02:02 <****> advanced streaming format
02:02 <****> oh
02:02 <****> courtesy of wotsit.org
02:02 <****> well thanks
02:03 <****> nice
02:03 <****> looks like a microsoft thing
02:03 <****> i think it's a microsoft thing.
02:03 <****> n0xus; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Streaming_Format
02:03 <****> huh?
02:03 <****> microsofties like their porn
02:03 <****> Quiznos: LOL
02:03 <****> :)
02:03 <****> woohoo for ^U and ^Y
02:03 <****> that gives me a good idea
02:03 <****> It has evil DRM, any format with DRM is stupid. seriously
02:03 <****> we should check the stats for a porn site
02:04 <****> that way, we can say there are more *nix people than there really are
02:04 <****> if vorbis ends up with DRM, Ill have to invent my own sound scheme.
02:04 <****> ;)
02:04 <****> ok?
02:04 <****> how, unbiased of you?
02:04 <****> Nobody can handle digital rights management--the music industry screwed up and now we can share music freely. they lose, we win.
02:04 <****> uh huh
02:04 <****> yeah
02:04 <****> I can see you're not the person who would end up having a sane conversation, so I'm just going to walk away slowly
02:04 <****> pseudojw when artists stop making music then who wins?
02:05 * bytecoder walks away slowly
02:05 <****> pfred1: artists wont stop making music because true fans will buy albums and concert tickets.
02:05 * bytecoder breaks into a sprint
02:05 <****> sony has some nice DRM software out at the moment ;)
02:05 <****> there is a site that distributes music straight from the musician for more reasonable fees and to the actual benefit of the musician
02:05 <****> pfred1: in addition, artists are only there for the money anyway. if htey had REAL talent, they would be there not for money, but because people enjoy their music.
02:05 <****> I think you're just a tad bit radical, pseudojw
02:05 <****> see, now you're not even making sense anymore
02:06 <****> bytecoder: yeah, i guess im a bit of radicand.
02:06 <****> pseudojw no unless htey have day jobs artists do need to get paid
02:06 <****> they wouldn't be there if somebody didn't like them
02:06 <****> pfred1: yeah, i know, but being money hungry...we know what that does. :-)
02:07 <****> pseudojw: is the answer "free market"?
02:07 <****> if ther eis no more music, we still win.
02:07 <****> the .com's die.
02:07 <****> pseudojw and labels need money for studio equipment
02:07 <****> studios are wicked expensive
02:07 <****> eventually
02:07 <****> but the true fans, like i said, will buy the albums and get concert tickets. so they hardly lose.
02:07 <****> yeah they can beat out their music on garbage pails
02:08 <****> who needs expensive instruments?
02:08 <****> if they have good music, they will have fans, and fans will buy CDs.
02:08 * pfred1 hugs his $3,000 guitar ...
02:08 <****> i'd invite sheryl crow and her hubbub to my place for a short session for me and my neighbors
02:08 * Quiznos gets the wire clippers
02:08 <****> hahaah
02:08 <****> snip snip pfred1
02:09 <****> bahahahaha
02:09 <****> pfred1: gibson?
02:09 <****> muamhamhamhamhahma
02:09 <****> n0xus yes
02:09 <****> rad
02:09 <****> i used to play guit
02:09 <****> had an Ovation
02:09 <****> very old rare SG Special
02:09 <****> i dont know much about music...i just know the music i like. if that makes any sense. lol
02:09 <****> nice
02:10 <****> i taught myself music, readin writin and singin too
02:10 <****> thats the best way to learn
02:10 <****> pseudojw yes and you have even less idea just how much it costs to produce the music that you like
02:10 <****> Quiznos: do you sing "Eat fresh"...no wait, that's Subway. lol
02:10 <****> as with m\ost things
02:10 <****> yea, taught myself to transpose by sight too
02:10 <****> pseudojw heh
02:10 <****> pfred1: no, I am perfectly aware, but...how much money do yo think is truely lost by sharing music? like a fraction of billions means anything.
02:10 <****> i miss my old strings
02:11 <****> makes a note to send memo to the whitehouse.. rogue greedy artists that think they need money to eat are screwing up the economy.. some of them even use open source OS's .. this is indeed bad
02:11 <****> they were stolen
02:11 <****> pseudojw I'd say they're losing more than they're making today
02:11 <****> Lab_Rat: hahaha!
02:11 <****> lab, wait for the FTC to go after m$
02:11 <****> pfred1: well it's their fault. they charged too much for CDs.
02:11 <****> Yeah ... sic the FTC on them
02:11 <****> pfred1: and it blew them out of the water. now what?
02:11 <****> pseudojw they didn't think it was too much
02:11 <****> Lab_Rat heh
02:12 <****> down boy!
02:12 <****> lol
02:12 <****>
02:12 <****> pfred1: but we did, the market. and that makes it too expensive. they should at least be down to the cost of tapes by now
02:12 <****> pseudojw now for every artist that makes it do you have any idea how many artists the labels carry that don't make any money?
02:12 <****> pfred1: $0.03 to stamp the CD, $0.50 for the plastic, doesnt add up to $8
02:12 <****> it's like a 1 in 10 ratio
02:12 <****> to $13 sorry
02:12 <****> what's *4?
02:13 <****> $8
02:13 <****> with tapes, what did you get .... gosh....the gears, screws, reel of tapea nd it was only around $8 or less?
02:13 <****> pseudojw so that Metallica CD that you buy subsidizes real art
02:13 <****> CDs arent even encumbered with screws, yet they cost more. can you explain why?
02:14 <****> There is a distinct correlation between the signal to noise ratio here and freenode net's age.
02:14 <****> its not like it's expensive to burn one either. i jsut dont get it. i wish i understood it.
02:14 <****> nancrofl
