thom: (Quote) Heh, that provides a fascinating comparison to an Economist review of a book claiming that England's advanced patent-law situation was the fundamental basis of the I…

Besides the increased compensation angle, I didn't long consider waiting for emusic - emu has so much stuff I do want, there's no reason for me to grab something there I can get elsewhere for a comparable price - that would effectively reduce my ove…

Thanks, listened, sounds pretty good, worth the $5 for me.

One example of where the law hasn't addressed the ethics involved is with recording mastering - afaik one can spend much effort and resources remastering public-domain recordings, and there are no legal restrictions on someone else's copying and dis…

thom, I'm not sure we disagree so much - there are mitigating methods I support that address some of your concerns (e.g. I support library rental fees, but wouldn't object to usage vouchers for "the working class"). My ethical position is based on …

mommio: (Quote) It's sound like it's currently the same, not the opposite: if you need your regular book fix, without libraries (either public or private) you'd need to get them from somewhere - presumably that would require buying them. Therefor…

A few thoughts:
- It's a mistake to conflate legality and ethics - the former ideally focuses on the latter, but in practice often diverges significantly. Ethics should predominantly concern itself with identifying harm done - the law is ofte… -
I don't think lala "failed" - Apple bought them for their library-matching cloud tech, iirc. Why lala was awesome for me was not the cloud, but the one-free-streaming. If emusic arranged those rights with their cloud model, that would be equally a…

BT, there are 20 and 16 min tracks on that. Are we looking at the same albums?

I won't do this too often, too easy to crowd the thread with long lists:
Thelonious Monk - "Coming On The Hudson" (Live at the Five Spot 1958, 1958)
Mekons - "Abernant 1984/85" (Fear and Whiskey, 1985)
Heh. I used to do some simultaneous listening with 2 or 3 winamp instances with some eai (electro-acoustic improv), stuff that was highly "sonic" and not structured. That often sounded quite good. Another good overlap was that stuff with middle-e…Breaking out an old script I haven't used in a while:
Ted Nash - "Cheryl's Theme" (The Mancini Project, )
David Bowie - "A New Career in a New Town" (Low, 1977)

A bit crazy.Nels is the man!elwood, lfmseek has an option to search on last.fm username, which is essentially a 'listening habit' search, in that it looks up last.fm's suggestions for that user.

Very likable.What's the incentive of RECs for Amie? Certainly, given the calculations usually mentioned here, there's little functional impact on "recommendations" from their use - i.e. they don't seem to be useful as a community support.
