Anything Random

No particular topic in mind..just write anything that comes into your mind and we make conversation, easy as that..i will start..

Thank God the SOPA thing dint pass in the senate.

I AGREE!
there would have been SOOO many riots & protesters. Would have WW3 up in this country!

Lol..WW3 fought in one country..Hollywood just wants to continue making money while people suffer

Its an ironic state of affairs. if they really wanted to prevent pirating they would just encrypt downloaded files. problem with that is you have to hire informatics proffesionals and cyrptologists who are expensive as hell so they try to do alternative things to save money, then complain when profits skimp due to pirating.

if you ask me the future is in streaming videos that are the collaborative works of people, or in individualized experiences that cant be pirated, not massive million dollar hollywood studios that pump out nothing but plotless action movies or dead end romances.

"if you ask me the future is in streaming videos that are the collaborative works of people, or in individualized experiences that cant be pirated,"

Totally.

Besides, I don't think the law would have worked. Yeah, it would have cut down on your casual downloader, but there are enough people on the internet who know what they're doing, and are invested (monetarily or philosophically) in internet freedom. It's much easier to find the chink in the armor than to build the armor itself.

Well the way the block would have worked, you could still accessed websites like the pirate bay even if it were blocked if you just had the IP adress of the website.

You guys are so right..streaming is the next thing. Maybe one of them should join our site and read some of these suggestions.

The internet is currently about creating ourselves. making an online avatar or series of avatars that represents what we are, what we want to be, or what we want others to think we are. these avatars are becoming our life as more and more of our human interactions enter the online realm.

pretty soon, if you ask me, the real world is gonna meld entirely with the world of media in the form of fully interactive environments like smart windows and surfaces in the like,

theres even a wall that senses your proximity to it, puts the channel you were last watching on the screen, and follows you around, plus you control it with hand motions, not a remote control, think xbox kinect.

we ourselves are becoming the media devices that we use

etcetera.

whats coming next is augmented reality which takes the reality we see and turns it into a multi leveled gaming type experience.

some really expensive augmented reality devices are already out there, it just needs to be made marketable.

life is becoming media. the solution isnt to prevent pirating, but to promote individualized input and output so that no one wants to pirate anything worthwhile. so that people want to create media that is their own.
