Yes, but attempts to use technical solutions to solve social problems never work. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

And you gotta be smarter than just the ability to drag a file name and drop it somewhere. And not so lazy. The average music lover won't copy of a protected song because it takes too long and the copy won't be perfect. But they'll sure complain about their rights. |

Well... a padlock on your garden shed can make sure that your neighbour doesn't borrow your lawnmover without asking... That is a technical solution to a social problem, right? /Preben Friis |

He can always cut a hole in your shed. It's just easier for you to discover that there's a hole in your shed than to discover that someone has taken your music. Not every neighbor will borrow your lawnmower if he has to damage your shed or lock, but one might go that far, particularly if he thought he could get away with it, like if you're away for the day, won't see you using it, and probably won't discover the hole in your shed until the next time you want to use your lawn mower. |

No. It is not a "solution". It is merely a deterrent. A solution would be to not have a lawnmower or to screen your neighbors for moral behavior. |

Actually, a solution would be to have a lawnmower that would only start if it was in your yard. Then your neighbor could borrow it but he couldn't use it. Or you could have a manual lawnmower, which would probably deter him from wanting to borrow it. |

Locks are a good example: locks keep honest people honest but they don't do anything much to deal with an even slightly determined thief. The social contract built up around the lock is stronger than the minimal security the lock actually provides. People take locks seriously, and that keeps them from borrowing your lawnmower. But as soon as people stop taking locks seriously, they don't really do much good. When I was a kid, cars had ignition locks, but everybody knew how to defeat them and thieves regularly hotwired cars and ran off with them. Then GM put in mechanical steering wheel locks, but everybody knew how to defeat those too. Now everyone has put in car alarms, but they go off spuriously so often that nobody even looks when an alarm goes off, so thieves just ignore them. The deterrent effect of the lock and alarm is more in the mind than being anything physical. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

The deterrent effect of the lock and alarm is more in the mind than being anything physical. Scott, I know you live in Virginia. I spent a bit over a year in VA Beach, off Lynhaven, right near NAS Oceana, back in the early 1990s At the time, neighboring Norfolk had a reputation as one of the car theft capitols of the world, and paranoia being what it is, Southside Tidewater area had more than its share of early adopters of car alarms. The area also had more than its share of spuriously triggered car alarms, because at that time, the A6 intruders (about the LOUDEST aircraft I have ever been in close proximity to), were still actively flying in and out of Oceana. I remember one walk through the Walmart parking lot on Lynhaven when I (quite literally) couldn't walk past ten cars without one of them having the alarm siren going off. |

And that's the really stupid part. the guys worrying about a "perfect" copy have about as big of a clue as the guys regularly asking on RAP about the best $200 large condenser. Personally, I'll take a cassette made with a Nak on a Maxell or TDK CrO2 tape pretty much any day over pretty much any mp3. But that's just me. Some people think I'm weird. I think they're gullible, so I guess that makes us even. |

Back in the day, I tolerated the hiss and Dolby artifacts of cassette, the rumble and surface noise of vinyl - and focused on the music. In a way, having to filter out the imperfections of the medium assisted in filtering out other imperfections. Digital lets me get much closer to the music. But I notice every blemish, of performance or of recording technique. |

. dk: "Laurence Payne" lpayne1NOSPAM@dslDOTpipexDOTcom wrote in message ... Ya think? Just wait until the DRM rises up and bites you in the . . . . Have we actual reports of this happening, in a way that affects self-recorded material? Self recorded material does not contain DRM protection, so I can't think why it should ever happen. Don't blame Microsoft for DRM. Blame the crowd that pirates other peoples material. Without them, there wouldn't be any DRM. Why would anyone involved in music production complain that others can not freely copy and distribute their work? /Preben Friis It extends to the hardware, too. |
