schestowitzIf all the japanese had just continued to download we'd see this law in all its idiocy. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzPrisons full, offices empty (employess locked up) and spending in the high street down as people spent all their money on fines. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzBack in the seventies, there were rumours that the music industry was bribing BBC DJ's to play their songs. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzNow you get fined if you publicly play their songs:) Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzThe japanese music industry got so big through takeovers - they aren't experts in the music industry. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzTheir policies are being decided by accountants. The people paid to solve their sales problems are the cause of their sales problems. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzThey think in terms of numbers rather than markets made up of real human beings. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzIn Germany, they call football the most heavenly triviality (himmlische Nebensächlichkeit). It's great. It's fun - but it is totally unimportant. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzPerhaps one day the music industry will realise that that applies to music as well. Nov 14 00:32
schestowitzOh, where is Franz Kafka's successor? Where are the satirists? This would be so funny if it wasn't so pathetic.Nov 14 00:32

schestowitzWow they're getting agressive with this! It's actually a very cool concept IMO, and it's the closest option to having Debian installed on my phone (like I had on my N900).Nov 14 11:25
schestowitz@Louis: it is already a reality; I saw it demoed in May this year.Nov 14 11:25
schestowitzCurious how Ubuntu is only accessible once the phone is docked - most of us want desktop GNU/Linux apps on our mobiles when we're mobile tooNov 14 11:25

schestowitz"Be careful with that Cream, then ;) Anyway, I believe there's much more worthwhile targets that should be put under scrutiny than Red Hat. IMO it's the least bad IT company out there, esp. consider the re-investment into Free Software. There's hardly other companies that pay full-time developers to write free code."Nov 14 11:28

schestowitz"@ Martino P - I know, right? I believe the elusive "year of the Linux desktop" isn't coming anytime soon - Eventually, as long as society continues as it is, the free software principles pioneered by Richard Stallman, along with criticisms of the "intellectual property" laws will, we will see a "year of the free software desktop" and Linux is still at the forefront of that movement, I just see it as an uphill battle against Nov 14 11:29
