“ 4…] the EMI VP refers to comments that were recently made by Gabe Newell. The Valve co-founder said that piracy is a service issue – once you give people what they want it will mostly disappear. “Gabe Newell is correct, it’s a service issue not an issue of money. Sales have gone up from sales concerts and merchandise, it’s obvious that our fans still love music. We’re just not giving them their music in an easier way,” Davis noted. Adding to the above, Davis also commented negatively on DRM in a separate question that he was asked on Reddit. “Personally I’m not happy with the way DRM is right now. We need to re-evaluate technology to find a better way to give you music,” he wrote. EMI Boss Opposes SOPA, Says Piracy is a Service Issue | TorrentFreak

“ Se siete seriamente di andare verde, allora è sicuramente per conto di tutto. Il sole è sempre lì, ma tutti sappiamo ci sono molte variabili che potrebbero interferire con il nostro “carburante”. Per questo motivo abbiamo bisogno di considerazione anche per le batterie e la conservazione evoid surplus di energia potenziale spreco ed inoltre non essere “bloccato” quando durante la stagione più fredda. Ancora una volta, solo raccogliere i dati, inserirlo nel campo facile e sei giù. Tu sai tutto di genere, la capacità e la quantità di batterie di cui avete bisogno.

If the network would put the content online, with commercials, I would watch that. And I’d feel a lot less ridiculous. Jonathan Coulton

“ Make good stuff, then make it easy for people to buy it. There’s your anti-piracy plan. The big content companies are TERRIBLE at doing both of these things, so it’s no wonder they’re not doing so well in the current environment. And right now everyone’s fighting to control distribution channels, which is why I can’t watch Star Wars on Netflix or iTunes. It’s fine if you want to have that fight, but don’t yell and scream about how you’re losing business to piracy when your stuff isn’t even available in the box I have on top of my TV. A lot of us have figured out how to do this. Jonathan Coulton

“ My hope is disgruntled publishing executives like the one above will quit their comfortable jobs at dysfunctional prehistoric companies and start innovating on the model. I don’t believe the public only wants books written by over-tanned drunks who go clubbing anymore than blog readers only want slideshows and posts on Apple. Someone will build the next great publishing imprint out of these ashes. And as a reader and an author, I can’t wait.
