Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The technology is already there

to eliminate illegal downloads. I guess that's where we don't see eye to eye. The music suppliers don't have to let their customers download the music at all. That's what the Berlin Philharmonic is doing with its concert videos. You pay, you can see them for a while, then you can never see them again. You never get a downloaded file you can share with your friends. If piracy becomes too big a problem, that's the future, IMO.

I guess there will always be hackers who can crack the code and beat the system. But as long as it is difficult and expensive to do that, pirates shouldn't be able to beat the industry.

Edit: Also, good luck to you and GEO in "educating" the younger generation. I respectfully suggest it's a hopeless task for the two of you. But once the companies that control our internet, satellite, cable and cell phone access focus on taking over the music distribution business, they will learn a major lesson in Economics 101.
