Oh, I can answer that one. Because M. Night Shyamalan can't see water in the air, and therefore it doesn't exist.

So the issue of the Judges decision is interesting, inasmuch as the Judge is Right in what was decided, cause it is in accordance with Canadian law, as you are allowed to make a copy for your own personal use, so the photocopier in the library and the computer on the net have equvalence in that respect, so actually what the judge provides to us is the principals of actions and activity in a democracy, as in having upheld the Law "As it is Written", if it is deemed to be damaging to society, then the Legislators (House of Commons in Canada) are meant to write New Law, amend the existing Law, correct whatever is seen as deficeit, (if deficiencies are even seen) and hence we have the function of democracy...not radical Judges setting public agendas, but a Goverment that, well, right now, in Canada, they seem to be going into "election mode" which means now NOTHING is going to happen to anything that is actually on The Countries Agenda and the Media*[/color], (who will not report on a single one of the Planetary Firsts that I have, by the Grace of God, been able to accomplish) will be full of nothing but the rhetoric of politicking, sooooo not much new here, you?Mr. Robin Parsons said:PS as for the Judges descision, apparently the differences between a photocopier that can make one copy at a time and costs money, and a computer that can instantly reproduce millions of copies, for free, well, welcome to the age of knowledge...
Yup, and buy discs, (CD's) throws those costs out the window a little doesn't it?ShawnD said:The cost is comparable. A VHS tape is about $1.50 last time I checked. My 120,000,000kB hard drive cost me $171 (after tax) and a most movies are about 715,000kB. That's about 168 movies per hard drive, which makes the storage cost $1.02 per movie.

HUH? DVD's what are they?ShawnD said:Most movies don't even fit on CDs. That throws your theory out the window.
Not entirely, as the search for a lessor cost is indicative of a business under financial pressure...and the future consequences of this is, are, as yet, unwritten/unknown...dduardo said:From the New York Times:
"The bulk of the EMI job losses stem from the outsourcing of compact disc and DVD manufacturing."
I guess that throws away the theory that file sharing has forced EMI to dump loads of employees.

Mr. Robin Parsons said:Yes, legal now in Canada, and EMI is apparently either about to, (or has already) lay off (Pink slips, and we do not mean 'car registrations') about 1500 PEOPLE...

My videos are all about 700MB. All video names are removed for obvious reasonsphatmonkey said:My movies are 2-4.7 GB, so even more expensive than you are thinking.

Nothing! it is/was a question NOT a comment, so what is your problem? aside from one CD will hold 700MB least the ones I can get will...and I had/have (they moved) a friend who had "lots of movies" (on CD's!) so knowing a little about what I am talking about seemed to me to help...ShawnD said:(SNIP)[/color]You said CDs, so I answered your post. Now you make a rude comment like that. What is your problem? (SNoP)[/color]
lesser known artists became better known artists and subsequently sold more albums and made more money.Mr. Robin Parsons said:So the lessor known artist made money too, or nothing? ("gave it all away")
