I don't like the gestapo tactics apic uses with their threatening letters. I didn't actually get one from them but I did have my free server shutdown for having unlicensed suze randall pics.
I don't see a problem with people scanning pictures from magazines and posting them online. I think its the next logical step for the internet. It's just a shame that a few people are too small minded to see that the benefits of sharing information outweigh the costs.
The whole napster thing just shows that if you give a little free stuff they come back and buy more. If your a musician or artist and if your good, you'll get paid in the end. And if you have an easy cost effective way to promote yourself to millions of people you'll have a better chance.
It's always the shitty artists or the ultra rich artists who blame napster for their declining record sales.
As for sharing porn. I haven't see one good online porno magazine. It seems no one wants to innovate. An online porno mag could have new content and would cost nothing to produce since there is no paper. A really good mag could get millions of readers and would make millions of dollars if they picked good advertisers. If any of the major porno mags on the shelf right now had brains enough to have a decent free emag they could make millions.
I just think there's too many old farts out there who are too obstinate to embrace technology. The internet has been turned into an e-circus instead of having any educational value whatsoever. Its nice to see that even the internet isn't exempt from human corruption.
The killer app will be made and there will be no central server and there will be no one to sue. Your pictures will be traded. You're movies. And your music. You can hide underneath the covers and ask grandma if everything is gonna be ok, but it won't be.
You guys can call it whatever you want. You can call it stealing. You can call it borrowing. But Napster style file sharing will only get better and faster.
