    They won't bother with people who downloaded .torrent files, they'll be going after the people who uploaded the links, acted as seeds, etc.

    The sad thing is that those "artists" who are living it up are usually over-marketed hacks with a pretty face, while people honestly doing something artistic are playing $100 gigs every night of the week just to get by. No one hears about them because in the end, the same recording companies who are calling you a theif are deciding what you will and won't hear in the main stream.

    Start using Tor when visiting sites like that. Simple fix. The more people who use it, the more random IPs which will be used, the less they can do about it.

    Corporations are today's Kings and Queens. They're the scum of the Earth, and they will be taken down just as all their arrogant predecessors. This is a message to them: just see how far you can push us. We are the true power in this world, and we can take yours away. You can take it to the bank and cash it for your precious dollar bills. Enjoy them while you can, because when we're done, they'll be worthless.

    They're just a bunch of liars, and they are far worse thieves than anyone who's ever downloaded a movie from the internet. Anyone who paid to see Air Bud or I, Robot or Legally Blonde or any of the other 99% of garbage cookie-cutter BS movies which are pumped out by the studios to line their pockets with your hard earned dollars will know what I mean. Of course I'm going to download it and preview it first, I don't trust them.

    Here's a tip. You want people to pay for your work, stop making crap. You want to live in a capitalist society, that's a fact you're going to have to live with. It's your choice.

    Condolences. The marketers will lose.

    I think they keyword here is AOL.

    I know that AOL bought ICQ, and I'm pretty sure that AOL bought real media, as well.. along with Netscape and Winamp.

    Ever since that happened, all of those companies GOOD software has gone down the drain! Well, Winamp is still pretty good and compact, but that whole Winamp Agent is the first sign of it being AOL-ized.

    These companies really need to listen to their customers.

    I just have to say that I almost agree fully with the article.. on everything except Windows Media Player 7. WMP 7 has become such bloated garbage, the entire project should just be scrapped!

    WMP 6 was a great, compact media player. In my humble opinion, anyone who is going to be watching a video clip, or listening to audio on their computer doesn't give a damn about having a media player that looks like someones green face! If they're anything like me, what they want is their video/audio to load NOW, and WMP does not deliver on that front.

    Niether does real player 5/6/7/8 at all.. they haven't had a decent player since 4.0, IMO.

    That's just my 2 bits.
