top executives in the music industry answer questions
posted by JFC at 2006-01-27 10:58

Oliver: Mr Questionman knows
JFC: Because he does it with glee and makes the world turn bad?
JFC: re Q1: all of these costs were successfully emeiorated under the first napster implementation. what's your answer now, jackass?
JFC: almost all
JFC: surely the small remaining cost of recording the album could be recouped by some kind of voluntary/aggregate payment system
JFC: but I guess you haven't spent millions researching that ...
JFC: hehe "But we don't make the technology, we create the music." cf "We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of the dream!" hehehe nice one
JFC: See Q5 for how to think twice about the same thing, in different ways, but only one of them being sanctioned
John_Smith: so "But we don't make the music, we develop the technology", "We are the engineers, we are the engineers of the technology!"
JFC: we are the producers, but we are deaf ;P
John_Smith: engineers more sound right?
JFC: (the producers are deaf to the dreams of the engineers John)
JFC: producer == person with money who decides who may produce stuff
JFC: its market lingo
JFC: "At Napster, while our goal is to make any DRM invisible to the user." ... a technology Sony has not quite perfected
