If Hollywood doesn't act now, a year from now this decision won't matter, ... Right under everybody's noses, ultra-fast networks are getting rolled out. Suddenly, a DVD will be downloaded in a matter of seconds.
Over one billion songs have now been legally purchased and downloaded around the globe, representing a major force against music piracy and the future of music distribution as we move from CDs to the Internet.
Working together to address piracy we can help to ensure that the same content Verizon is distributing legally under this deal will not be downloaded illegally.
I just bought a bunch of CDs and downloaded them into my I-pod. I bought the Seal record, a Swahili drum album, and there's some original African drums that I listen to before the show.
The fact that we know every show can be downloaded makes it a challenge for us. Most bands play the same 14 songs night after night. Our set lists vary drastically, and we keep a log of every set we've played. We try to make every night a different experience.
Today, the way the system works, when you sign up to provide your content for the system, you sign off that your content will be downloaded and replicated. We do have a DRM, but we are keeping it for more commercial content.
The PC industry is champing at the bit to provide downloaded movies that might compete with DVD sales, and Pay-TV services want to add movies to their video-on-demand services, to their new disk-drive-equipped set-top boxes, and to their emerging high-definition TV services.
Even though I am a lifelong 'Doctor Who' fan, I've not played him since I was nine. I downloaded old scripts and practised those in front of the mirror.
It's got to be downloaded and run manually. It's not something that will just go from phone to phone with no interaction whatsoever.
I just downloaded '1984' for my iPod, but I've read that before. It just hearkens back to the 'romance' of my high-school days. I really liked the space I was in when I was reading it.
