Musicians sign motion to push for restricted bandwidth for downloaders
Fri 25 Sep, 2009
Awesome - another "Home Taping is Killing Music" comment. What a brilliant way to display utter ignorance of the reality of the situation. There is a massive difference between home taping and illegal downloading. Firstly, home taping involved going out and buying the records, and then the tapes to go with them. You could then only copy the music for as many people as you could afford tapes for, and you would generally only give these tapes to friends. With file sharing you are inviting millions of strangers access to music, for the price of the broadband they are already paying for. You don't even need to buy an album in order to have thousands of LPs which you then share. The economics and the scale are completely different. If you want to make a useful contribution to the debate, please do. Otherwise, do shut up and go and play with your toys in your bedroom while the grown-ups have a conversation.

White Stripe reunites with fizzy drink for 'Quantum Of Solace'

Is this the same Jack White that wouldn't do an advert in 2001 for Gap?"The Gap wanted us to be in a commercial and we said 'no' and everyone said, 'why not'? It's almost as if, if people are willing to give you that much money, you are insulting everyone you know by turning it down - people's opinions about selling out seem to have changed over the years." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/1604952.stmAs ianwarde pointed out, it's not as if Coke are the cuddliest of companies to take a dollar from. And pocketing that tainted money, especially when you're minted like Mr. White, is far worse than buying a product. We're suckers - he's a corporate whore.
