AT&T and Comcast Confirm They're Working With RIAA

Old news, I got a warning from Comcast ages ago.

You shouldn't have to pay for music anyways! I'm not saying artist don't need to make a living but I'm taking it to a whole different level.

I'm saying that it sucks we live in a society where there is a price tag on music. FCUK that I love music and have a collection that would put anyone on this website to shame. Vinyl, Cds and MP3s...

Music is life's lubrication you can't put a price on it nor should you try.

So I say forget these man mad laws... download and share all the music you have... share the soundtracks of your lives.

Peace

My best friend tells me that the music he downloads into his IPOD is it ? through the Internet is much better in sound quality than the CDs you can buy. Is that realy true ??? Maybe one of you experienced downloaders can respond to this. I know it's cheaper, but it's the sound quality that's of paramount importance to me. I like listening to classical music that has an immense dynamic range, and many harmonics to its depth. In 1973, I was recording and playing back, on reel to reel tape via my Revox mastering machine,nearly as good sound quality on 3 and 3/4 speed and mastering tape as they produced on the first CDs that came out a decade later. So my audiophile ears are trained to tell the difference between state of the art highest quality
analog and early digital music. Thus I would know if the downloaded music quality was superior to CD. I play all my music either through the Dell headphones
jack or 2 Klipsch cornerhorn speakers and a Bose center speaker set up which only takes 3/4 of a Watt to power them. As the Klipsch engineer said to me: "That's insanely efficient " With that medium I can even detect all the types of distortion, compression, clipping etc that's output. So I'm fascinated at the possibility I might possibly get an even higher fidelity from downloaded music.I blogged where on DVDs, scientists have even surpassed Blu Ray with an expanded multi level digital information disc, and as if that they're experimenting with that same pattern that's collossal compared to even that which surpasses Blu Ray. So I'm wondering if there's something even more advanced than consumer CDs that functions as the source of so called superior quality downloadable music. Interesting, if true. Is it ?

Hmm... good, fuck the pirating bastards. It isn't cool. It's just like all other forms of stealing and bootlegging. if you don't think so, you are a hypocritical twat. Yes I used to download until I realized what a total shaft I was for stealing from these artists who are providing my acid trips with such great background music. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go turn into a photon and beam around the universe while Air plays "Universal Traveler".

The sound quality of compressed music is dreadful anyway, if it were all bit-for-bit 16bit redbook standard it would be different. Now if you could get something other than "smooth jazz" with a good 24bit up-conversion that would be a whole other ball game; I would be down-loading-a-plenty. CD's are cheap people, if you like the stuff, buy it.

There is nothing worse than a clipped or compressed audio signal; the digital compression sound is un-earthly and it hurts my brain.

hmmm...I use att for internet, have not recieved any notice on this (maybe cause I never look at my att email address!)

If I remember my classes of political sciences, this is not what communism it is about it. This seems that paranoic crazy second world war propaganda misleading Communism. So what Communism have anything to do with piracy? Lack of education can really make you a fool. Here it is a good title: "Successful ways to fool Americans!"

wow, what a surprise. I never would have thought that AT&T would do anything but protect the interests of their clients.

And comcast, with their reliable service and friendly support people, what a shock that they'd screw the people that use their service.

Come on. You use ether of those companies and you are just begging to be raped in some way or another.

So glad I don't have either!

FIOS for the world!

and yes Screw Comcast!!!! I'll preach this till I die! SCREW COMCAST! and I owe cingular(at&t) like $1700 that the won't be getting!

The communism picture...FUNNY!

I don't care about "pirating" music. If it's there, I'll use it.

Eh. All I use downloading programs for is sampling music before I buy it. I'm pretty sure I can back up most of my downloads with purchased media.

Still lame though.

Well isn't that special? To be honest, this doesn't surprise me in the least. After all, this just further solidifies the two company's conquest to take over the media and communications world.

Dang it.. I have at&t..
