forget 3wk... music labels see a huge profit to be had in internet radio.  i heard this on all things considered on public radio today and almost ran off the road.

they wanna charge outragous rates for their music being played for free. this will create a music juno... but it does not stop there.

they also want to know WHO listeded to WHAT, WHERE and WHEN.   hell, on that kick... even HOW.  marketing research at its finest.

i am guessing gnutella is next.

DAMMIT!

it will be incrdibly hard to stop Gnutella or WinMX as they dont run through a central
server(s) like napster does.

I don't see how music could ever be "protected" from sharing.  Maybe I'm mistaken, but even if gnutella didn't exist, couldn't you do something like create a program that captured the data the sound card processed and converted it into a sound file?  I mean, if you can listen to it can't you capture it in some way can't you?

this is where microsofts new "take over music" scheme somes into play.

MS is going to embed into there OS a special type of windows media (.WMA) and have it specially encrypted all the way into the speakers. They are going to make special speakers that you HAVE TO use in order to listen to it, and they can make it so the music "expires" after any number of days and you cant listen to it anymore.
