Comment Re:Stoping mp3's (Score 1) 127

Actually this came about because on napster some one was planting Cookos. Cookos are songs which are tittled as the original song but when you download tem you have someone elses song. Or they start out as the original song then turn into another peice. This whole thing was started by some guy whos wife is a musician whos record is selling bad. I think that the MPAA can't use this to stop mp3 songs. Unless they get all mp3 players to only accpet songs that have been verified with this process and have a permission flag raised. Yeah right they are goingt o get open source players to do this(XMMS), maybe on stinky windows machines. This process will just further encourge the trading of mp3 songs, since the user knows they are getting the real song. I don't see how this can work for the MPAA. MPAA, just a bunch of companies trying to own the future of entertainment. (monopoly). Imagine that, a whole bunch of bad MPAA movies and songs.. Forced to watch them because they are the only people who are allowed to make movies and songs. Ariel V. Rosa
