Google to Buy Youtube?

James: nice…they would prolly make it better, but i like that there is at least two websites for that

Adam: yeah but the whole copyright thing is huge…esp. with google video

James: ok u know how everyone is thinking mpaa is gonna take youtube to court for that stuff... and nobody should buy it…what if google is goading them to take them to court… they have the money to go through with the courtcase... honestly the mpaa wont win the case.

Adam: yeah i agree 100%...its still a huge issue…because even if the court case goes through and MPAA loses…..then they will start asking a lot of questions about DRM and why it isnt working…which could be bad

James: but what would u expect the outcome of the them asking about drm

Adam: haha i dont know….how can they be any more tightwad than they already are

James: the reason it doesnt work, is because people don't like the idea of buying crippled products... maybe mpaa will realize that, they need to be a better provider of goods…they will sell more….for instance…i’m an emusic user…i love it… and i’d pay an extra 5 dollars, if i could get bigname labels too…they are trying to protect an amount of revenue, that they should have never been used to. the business of making and selling art should not be so profitable, its not supposed to be for the money

Adam: preach on!

James: lol…u know me…. =)

Trashpickers

This conversation took place a few minutes ago between 2 of this blog's contributors and is completely unedited. Enjoy.

Adam: last week i was walking home from the bus and i saw a mangled plastic bottle on the ground… it took me 2 seconds to pick it up and throw it in the garbage (and about 10 seconds to wash my hands when i got home)… yet while i was doing it, i thought to myself "people around me probably think i'm nuts, just picking up trash off the street"…literally i didnt even have to break stride, the bottle was so close to the trash can…story of the world

James: totally…not only are people averse to doing hard work to help the world, they cant even do whats easy

Adam: its beyond that…people are afraid to do what i did…because of how they think others will perceive them…if i see someone throw trash on the ground in front of me, i have to say something to them…people need to be chided…our culture has been so anti-discipline for so long…like its wrong to spank kids and shit like that

James: "hey asshole go pick that fucking trash up and put it in the can'….haha

Adam: there have to be consequences. which is why the fall of the US mini-empire might be the best thing that ever happened to us

James: can u imagine that guy talking to his friends later…'i got in a fist fight over literring today'

Adam: "some crazy guy yelled at me for something! i can't remember what tho"

James: hahahaha…thats terrible…haha
