 at them thinking this will force them to buy music, shows how much they really care for the people those greedy bastards
 
I'm surprised this came so late.
I think a few countries in Europe have already started doing this a few years ago.
 
They should've started this 6 years ago. Could've had a chance.

Now it's where there's a will there's a way mode. Gonna get my 6 TB grind on.
 
So this doesnt count for Sprint, which isnt really an ISP........Correct?

If so............DL ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   [h1]The 2011 Music-Sales Boost, By The Numbers[/h1]
September 06, 2011 [h2]By Glenn Peoples (@billboardglenn), Nashville[/h2]
Thanks to a surge in digital sales and strong catalog sales -- and possibly the shutdown of a major P2P network -- music sales have jumped in 2011. A recent NARM-sponsored webinar by Nielsen examined the sales spike and showed a number of causes at work.

One number in Nielsen's presentation got the most attention: 4.8. Through August 21, the 33rd week of 2011, track equivalent albums (TEA) were up 4.8%. TEA was down 0.7% at this time last year and finished up 1% at the end of 2010.

The 4.8% improvement is even more amazing when you consider the state of music sales a year ago. Physical albums are down just 4% after being down 19% at the same point last year - a 15-point turnaround. Digital albums are up 19.1% in 2011 after being up 13.5% last year - a nearly 6-point turnaround.

U.S. Mid-Year Album Sales Up for First Time Since 2004, According to SoundScan Figures

Prices are up because of downloads. I remember getting the brand new hot boys tor 10 dollars at target. I think this will help the quality of music and movies. I'm all for it. Its a business why do you think your entitled to get it for free?

I can get burgers for free at my house?

I can go to the burger joint and get them to give me a burger before I pay?

A single burger can be turned into an infinite amount of other identical burgers?
 
If this means better content, as far as music and movies and software im all for it, i fall under the small population that pays for music and movies. Don't see a problem with it at all, and yes i know the music and movie studios are greedy and want to milk the life out of peoples hard earned money, but hey thats business.

the internet is evolving guys. and for that reason many of us are regressing. there are new innovations coming about but the idea of sending micro sds and usb sticks via mail isn't too farfetched now. it's been implemented in some circles already.

I remember reading a article on gizmodo about some super underground sites that share files, pretty much can get what ever your want and high quality also. Their were really strict rules on what the quality for the files had to be and how to go about uploading them. This will only affect the "general population" files will still be shared by select few. The rapid pace in which technology is evolving in just about every single regard is crazy and it's the best time i believe to get involved in learning some kind of programming.
