RIAA: It starts...

It started not long after iTunes 4 was released. It's a way for Apple to get the music store to the PC world as well. It's doing extremely well on Mac, there are many more PC users out there, and the music industry likes it, which in turn probably means more music and more exclusives for Apple.

The only thing in question is just how much will be supported on PC. Music sharing will be gone for sure, since it requires Rendezvous. Burning will likely work, but who knows about compatability. The first few iTunes releases didn't support many 3rd party CD-RWs. But the rest should work just fine, but that may or may not be a problem.

On the one hand, Apple may release it so PC users can understand what they're missing. On the other hand, it's less incentive to buy a Mac. So for all we know, Apple may take out some features, but that doesn't seem like Apple.

What's more likely is that iTunes for PC will not be free. Apple has charged for iMovie upgrades in the past, and currently charges for iDVD upgrades, but they come free with a new computer (and iMovie for OS X has always been free). Apple is also charging $29 for iChat AV, but it comes free with Panther. It wouldn't be surprising if Apple included iTunes with iPod purchases, but charged for PC users to buy it. Developing software for Windows costs money, more money than for Mac. It would be no surprise if iTunes was not free software. But on the other hand, good luck selling software to people who not only download their music, but probably everything else on thier computer.

My upgrade to iMovie 3 was free. And the iTunes software price is probably added into the final price of the iPod so people are already paying for it when they buy their iPods. We get free iTunes upgrades but perhaps Window versions will cost?

I wonder if the RIAA will end up going to court against Monkey****er666@kazza.com or any other obscene names.

It would be funny to be sure.

But either way suing your customers is not the way to stay in business very long.

[Null]

how on earth do you know you downloaded from some of them? who actually takes note on who they downloading from?

[Null]

That's freaky. So wot heppens to them?

[Null]

most likely the users will buckle under the presure and goto a settlement.

i'll be surprised if they actually end up going to court.

These guys must have been sharing ALOT of stuff. As in have multiple servers just for sharing and stuff.

I can't imagine these ppl sharing a few songs. Good news for the record industry

[Null]

nobody has a 'server' for it so to speak.

its just they searched him on the program and found he has music thats aviliable for otehrs to download. no one has multiple anything, just one user and his hard drive.


needless to say they are basically going after the people who are giving the stuff out. otherwise they wouldnt know if you download a song, unless they setup a server and copy yuor name down if you download from them..... but then they are putting music up for download. could sue them. lol

notice how they're all "@Kazaa" no Kazaalite or such??

[Null]

no, i dont notice, they're all on the same network bro. it just so happens kazaa is the most popular.

theres a @fileshare and a @grokster

and i do believe kazaalite still uses @kazaa, no?


Oh, BTW, jason, you feeling safe with your new version. but who says they are using the newest version when they look? nothing is forcing everyone to upgrade. therefor wouldnt it be the same for them even if you are using a new version?

Um...I wouldnt think so...because Kazaa lite now has those options to block IP's and stop anyone from seeing your shared files and stuff like that...it wouldnt really matter what version other people are using...I have a feeling that not exactly what you mean though.

[Null]

well block ip's is pointless. they can always find your ip no matter what the program does.


but just not sure exactly how the block songs is going to work. with ppl on older versions. have to read a little on it.
