- missingnoh4x, on 11/22/2007, -2/+40Odds of record labels listening - Still 0:infinity
- gunuin, on 11/22/2007, -0/+25One economist stated that the music industry is going to have to get used to competing with free music - they are going to have re-engineer their marketing scheme. We buy bottled water don't we? Yet doesn't water flow free from our taps. I like collecting the packaging when it's artistic - I think it's great that things may actually change someday - no way is the industry going to stop music sharing - ***** we used to copy tapes and share them.
- spyd3rweb, on 11/22/2007, -3/+25Dear RIAA: please don't abolish DRM, People spending their money on other things is a GOOD thing.
- nonsapiens, on 11/22/2007, -2/+16Welcome to my Block Button for being a bigoted racist *****
- sirmo, on 11/22/2007, -0/+12DRM only hurts honest people who purchase music. Any entity that doesn't realize this deserves to fail and go out of business.
- DestroyFascism, on 11/22/2007, -0/+10Ill second that comment~! The sooner the big labels disappear the better off the entire world will be! Like swatting a fly that keeps laying maggots in your ear....
- martian, on 11/22/2007, -1/+11No, ***** music is killing the music industry
- Ryosen, on 11/22/2007, -0/+10Please don't dig Kancho down. He's a little confused since Digg doesn't have a classified section and he doesn't know where to advertise his services.

That figures...
Deltabourne: "A person from Atlanta, Georgia who joined Digg on January 14th, 2007"
[/Sweeping stereotypical comment] - supertom, on 11/22/2007, -0/+9Ok, *pats head*
- spawnfree, on 11/22/2007, -2/+9Great, you can tell us that you are a bigot and you know nothing worth hearing.
- EricAnderton, on 11/22/2007, -0/+7Have you even read the comments around here?
You'll have to try a *lot* harder than that to be considered extremely offensive, and worthy of a -100 score. - motters, on 11/22/2007, -0/+5This isn't surprising because retailers are at the sharp end and have to deal with customers bringing back CDs saying "it won't play".
- JoelBakan01, on 11/22/2007, -0/+5If popular culture is a commodity then it isn't really our culture, it's just a product. Maybe it's time to start looking at alternatives?
- crapuccino, on 11/22/2007, -0/+5Aren't these the same retailers that not too long ago were crying "OMG PIRACIEZ ARE KILLING OUR INDUSTRIEZ!!" and demanding the labels do something about it. Well, guess what - your industry is ill. The best bit is that the cure has proven to be worse.
You are obsolete. The train left the station years ago and you weren't on it. You did all you could to derail it, but on that train are the demands of your customers. You can't derail customer demand. You can try, but that leaves you with no customers.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap. - h4ppydotcom, on 11/22/2007, -1/+5I get your meaning, but don't you mean infinity:0?
Odds of 10:1 mean that if you run it 10 times, it's likely to happen once. So 0:infinity would mean that even if you never run it, it will happen an infinite number of times... - SilverBlade2k, on 11/22/2007, -0/+4Too little, too late. I hope the RIAA is dissolved so indie labels can take their place..
- supertom, on 11/22/2007, -0/+4Reported :)
- codmate, on 11/22/2007, -0/+4I've only ever come accross 2 CDs I couldn't rip.
Found FLAC files on the pirate bay for them, so all was well. - canthraxp, on 11/22/2007, -0/+4I found this on finance.google:
Warner CEO: "We Were Wrong."
http://www.stereophile.com/news/111907bronfman/
"And of course we were wrong. By standing still or moving at a glacial pace, we inadvertently went to war with consumers by denying them what they wanted and could otherwise find . . . and as a result, of course, consumers won."
"Ladies and gentlemen, take it from an industry that learned its lesson. Painfully. Very painfully. Our world was rocked."
DRM is dying! =D - MacParrot, on 11/22/2007, -1/+4Unfortunately he'll get banned (eventually) and just come back using a different email address and screen name. Too bad you can't get permanent bans on some of the more flagrant idiots like delta.
- init100, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3The reason the music industry loves the concept of DRM is because, in theory, it allows them to sell the same stuff to the same customer several times.
"Want to have a song on your cell phone? Go to the music store for cell phones. Want to have a song on your iPod? Go to the iTMS. Want to have a song on your stereo? Go to the proper store. Your disc just broke? Buy a new one at full price." - MtheoryX, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3I call your block sir, and raise you a report.
Well done. - LargeTrout, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Finally they're getting the hint.
- init100, on 11/22/2007, -1/+3"Retailers will never be obsolete."
What use is a retailer if fans can buy directly from the artist's web site? - gavin422, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2Um, the fault isn't with the retailers. It's with the record companies. Retailers will never be obsolete. Record companies have been obsolete for years.
- canthraxp, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2That describes DRM quite well.
You go to a store, buy some music, and get a DRM-***** all the way up your anus. - inactive, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2Hehe, my digg count is 69, how bout that.
- carpespasm, on 11/22/2007, -0/+1or make some alternatives.
- Waterrat, on 11/22/2007, -0/+1 Yes,I liked it so much,Ive added it to my e mail sig.
- chaosium, on 11/22/2007, -0/+1There's travelers in Florida as well.
- roodammy44, on 11/22/2007, -0/+1Hmm, don't music retailers have music stores on their websites? Oh yes, they do!
Besides, they might want to sell mp3s inside their stores.... mp3s on a usb disk would be kinda cool - you'd end up with 10s or 100s of disks to use!
You could just give disks to your friends if they ever needed to borrow some files like in the old floppy disk days - starf, on 11/22/2007, -0/+1some people like to make many purchases at one established place.
- TransmitThis, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1too late
- Soyea, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1Look DRM should be removed, when I buy a C/D i want to play that on my PC. in my car. on my carry C/D i don't want them telling me where and how i can play the C/D i just bought. I will not buy anything with music or movie c/d dvd with DRM on it getting burned twice was enough for me.
- inactive, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1Meh, every time that happens my account gets banned and my thread gets removed.
This is like my 5th digg account this year. - naonao, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2I doubt that is deltabourne looking at his past comments, the grammar and spelling looks nothing like his usual posts. Digg down anyway but don't block.
- richardiscool, on 11/22/2007, -5/+5I'm in the UK, so apparently I'm now a "paki".
*goes to listen to some ali baba music* - jh100000, on 11/29/2007, -0/+0maybe we need to get pink floyd for this experiment to work...
- basic0, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_cdnow/104-349236 ...
- ezyerman, on 11/29/2007, -0/+0and of course the Radiohead experiment, with pay what you like for our downloads worked well didn't it? Nice to see everyone supporting the alternative to DRM.
- Maddjonesy, on 11/22/2007, -0/+0Nice comment, I'll be quoting you to others with that 'If popular culture is a commodity then it isn't really our culture, it's just a product.'
- inactive, on 11/22/2007, -2/+1What the hell is 'ali baba' music? Music that you buy wholesale from Chinese factories?
- gritta, on 11/22/2007, -5/+3Your mum's a paki.
- DestroyFascism, on 11/22/2007, -5/+1Deltabourne....
Like Delta 7 and Jason Bourne all in one....lol
Go watch some more TV goofy..... - kuzotz, on 11/22/2007, -5/+1you're an Irish traveler.
The US got those in Georgia and Texas.. Two of the states where citizens can carry concealed weapons.. Yea they don't do as much ***** as they do in the UK and Ireland... You see its a factor of getting shot even our police are a bit too loose with the trigger XD - SwissCamel, on 11/22/2007, -10/+4Digg is my source for FACTZ
- Bornhuetter, on 11/22/2007, -6/+0Why is Ron Paul writing articles on DRM?
- oilcan, on 11/22/2007, -8/+1drm is the problem? hm...it's certainly a problem in some arenas, but retailers?
correction: the internet and modern media distribution methods are killing us!
