The problem is big businesses and governments do not see how stupid most of their actions are, they never consider what their actions will have on the future. The reason is that they only look about five years down the line or to the next election.
Once you ban something or make it illegal it becomes a thing the public want, a forbidden fruit and we so love our apples. Take the prohibition era of the 1920s, American was in deep depression so what does the government do to help with the problems they make the selling of alcohol illegal. In small quantities alcohol gives you: Mild euphoria, sociability, talkitiveness, Increased self-confidence; decreased inhibitions. Good things when living in a depression I would think, obviously too much alcohol is bad for you but people learn this when they are young and stupid.
This ban was sheer stupidity you took away something that the people liked which left them even more depressed. Similarly the music and film industries are effectively cutting their own throats with their attempt to reclaim this pitiful percentage, they are giving governments excuses to control the flow of information on the Internet. It is always be about control!
I've been asked on my previous post how you download mp3 files without QuickTime Pro. First off you can easily save the file by right-clicking it and doing 'Save Link As', then you can save it to your PC. If you have limited yourself to an Apple MAC then I do not know what free apps are available for reading MP3s. However if you are using Windows then you can use Winamp which in my opinion is the best free MP3 player ever, when you've opened the MP3 on Winamp if you then do 'Alt-3' it will open the ID3 tags for you. Still having problems post another comment.
