“And that's exactly what bin Laden was counting on. If you really believe that, then you have fallen right into al Queda's trap.
bin Laden's strategy worked. Bush and the neo-cons fell for it.
The best recruitment device al Queda and the Taliban ever got was when Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.
In the last 8 years, the actions of the United States have CREATED more terrorists than we've eliminated. It's that simple.”

“Ben Franklin said something to the effect that giving up freedoms for security than neither are deserved. Now the US took a tremendous national security hit when our freedoms were encroached upon. The notions of surveilance and hacking make me feel a bit schizophrenic having lived with the idea of freedom my entire life.”

“One reason they hate us is for musical expression. I don't see anyone pointing a finger at the rebelous teens who started body moving back in the 50's and 60's and got everyones bait & tackle grooving. Have you seen young people dance today?”

“Why are people so aghast at the influence of music on a wide open medium such as the internet, when music is rythmically influential by nature and primes the human brain.”

“Musics made to be listened to, and it comes trough the radio, TV, movies to individuals at a young age before they know anything about copyrights or compensation. Its influence is as evident as every Madonna look-a-like in the 1980's.”

“A quick way to catch up on all those great songs I was exposed to on the radio, mtv, vh1 growing up when I heard youtube had everything. Though I don't know how the copyrights are working with youtube. I did purchase many cassettes, Cd's and attended concerts.”

“Whats wronf with the radio model that got me interested in music in the first place for seemingly free before I ever heard of copyrights, or are people just not listening to the radio as musch these days?”
Eris23 replied on Nov 02, 2009 at 22:44:32
“The radio, through ASCAP, BMI and SESAC paid to play the songs. So, it was free for you, but not really. The station paid fees to play the music. They covered their costs and made profit through selling advertising. As a listener, you paid through being subjected to ads.”

“I agree with you about having paid my "right to listen." Are the new younger consumers going to make the same investments like cassettes, cd's and concerts to support the artists?”
kmrayburn replied on Nov 01, 2009 at 13:06:22
“Concerts yes, cds and cassettes no, unless they somehow find a way to add value that the younger consumers will be willing to pay for. I doubt album artwork is enough.”

“There must be agreements with online providers to reimburse the music industry, though for years the music industry made out while the technologies shifted and what happened is ones old vynils, eight tracks, cassettes would collect dust while music lovers went out to update their collections with things like CD's. I mean the music industry was charging like 15- 20 dollars for a while there to get a cd. I couldn't afford to update my entire collection of cassettes, but with the advent of sites like youtube now one can listen to all those old songs.”
