Hmm, it does appear now that I can download one song at a time, but I don't see any way to download a whole album, or the whole collection. For it to be useful to me, I need to be able to do this.
If I lose my entire collection of music at home, I would like to be able to download it again...
I have 60 gigs of music stored on music.google.com, at zero cost
Yeah, but once you upload it, you cannot re-download it, right? So it's not the same functionality...
What utter nonsense.
It's also the opinion of the founding fathers of the U.S. who authored the U.S. Constitution.
Yeah, no. It's not. It might be shared by some of them, but definitely not all of them.
Not all the "founding fathers", but the founding fathers who authored the Constitution. Chiefly, that's James Madison, with huge influences by Jefferson, Adams and Paine. Yes there were those like Hamilton who despised the ideas that ended up passing. But again it was Madison's ideals that ended up in the Constitution, not Hamilton's.
And even so, that doesn't change things. They were not some infallible deity; they were just men. And times have changed since their times.
They were just men, yes. But the law hasn't. It sounds like you don't care much for the law. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land.
Yes, you have. That's all you've said. If something is receiving government money, then it must not be worth having. And that is completely and utterly false.
Wrong again. There are a great many things that don't "turn a profit" that are worth having.
I'm simply saying that if something receives government money, that's wrong. Because it's illegal. And unethical, because the government doesn't have any money that it hasn't already stolen from its citizens (in most cases against their will).

Yes, it matters very much.
Well, OK, it matters in that more of a bad thing is worse than less of a bad thing.
That's your opinion, but most people would consider that to be completely and utterly wrong.
Yes, it's my opinion. It's also the opinion of the founding fathers of the U.S. who authored the U.S. Constitution.
I fail to see the value in the idea that something has to turn a profit in order to be worth having. Quite frankly, I find that idea, and those that espouse it, to be quite retarded.
I can agree with you here. I don't believe I ever espoused this idea at all.

Agreed. I was only using the example others provided. Special favors (or favoritism) by govt is always a bad thing.
Honestly, SHUT UP about "government-funded" already. Combined federal, state and local gov't contributions make up about 5.8% according to their latest figures. The vast majority of their funding comes from individuals, businesses, and universities (amongst others).
Whether it's 5.8% or 16% as other have said doesn't matter. Every penny of government funding is wrong. And it's every bit as wrong as every penny the government gives Catholic charities or whatever.
So while you may have a point with your "shut up", it does matter since the government has no business funding any private business or entity.
So it landed, bounced, and then crashed through the cottage?
Or was it just a meteor like most?
Lower 4 digit number, as not requested.
Oh, how convenient that would be.
