Re: (Re: For Robert Craig) stop whining
Ralf,
I understood what you said.
eMusic.com has a deal just like the one you describe. Pay $9.95 per month
and download all the music you want from a selection of over 125,000 albums,
not ALL commercial in nature. My wife and I are currently happily taking
advantage of this, as a partial alternative to buying CDs.
Your idea of applying this concept to the software industry is interesting,
and I'd like to see software companies take a close look at it.
Yes, there are (at least) two approaches to dealing with prostitution,
murder, piracy, drug trafficking, and other anti-social crimes or ills. One
is to treat them as crimes and try to "stone" them virtually out of
existence -- the "Old Testament" approach, which CAN work, but most of us
today don't want to live in the kind of society that can make it work. The
other is the more-practical-less-moralistically-minded attempt to "legalize
but regulate", which is more typically European than American.
(I added murder to the list to help maintain perspective. Should murder be
legalized but regulated???)
Regarding software, and looking strictly at the RESULTS, I think I'd like
the solution you propose.
George Henry
