If I play a radio station so more people hear it than would normally do so a greater broadcasting that what would be achieved otherwise? Aren't the advertising dollars, received for broadcasting, what the broadcasters are looking for, so therefore I'm giving them a greater audience and potentially greater advertising dollars? Am I missing something? - mdsmedia Tue, 20 May 2008 06:35:47 -0600 http://www.itwire.com/content/view/18129/53/#comment-10662 Thanks for the article: going after "re-broadcasting" listeners is like hitting themselves in the face with the shovel to get the fly on their nose. Music publishers aren't losing significant revenue to piracy: those who steal would likely not be buying in the first place. In fact if they lowered CD prices a bit I bet they'd sell a lot more: there are plenty like myself who still prefer CDs over mp3. PS, isn't that what Microsoft does too: assume I'm a thief? The Windows Gno-particular Advantage scheme comes to mind. - Chez Sat, 10 May 2008 04:14:50 -0600
