Wolves among us: Five real





❤️ Click here: Fuchsteufel


Those who create, promote, and use Digital Restrictions Management clearly fall into this category. Musicians don't make recordings of music, Record Labels do. His head was placed on a pole with the figures of a breaking wheel and a wolf on it, as a warning to others.


The food replicator is the musical equilivant of the computer speaker, not the music. In fact, he said, he had done so just one year earlier, contradicting his earlier claim of having renounced lycanthropy.


Joseph Egger - Newer, smarter business models are allowing many more people to make more money making music than they could in the past. Werewolf accusations were not entirely uncommon in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries.


Let's play a little hypothetical. Let's say that someone had discovered a way to automatically -- without any additional cost -- create all the food that the world's population needed, and automatically have it appear wherever and whenever fuchsteufel. Who, in their right mind, would want to break such a machine, and force this newly abundant resource back to being scarce. Yet, that seems to be exactly what's happening in the fuchsteufel world. I've read the article a few times, and I have to be honest, that I don't quite get it. But the bigger issue is why bother in the first place. Why purposely try to limit an abundant resource by making it scarce. Sweazey claims: His answer is that such freely-copiable goods breaks the basic business model of human commerce by making goods nonrivalrous; it no longer has aspects of a private good, and this makes it difficult to sell. It shows an out-of-date understanding of economics. While it may mean that you can't directly create a paid market in that private good, it opens up and enables many more markets. Going back to the food analogy: if you had many more people in the world who weren't hungry, and didn't have to spend all their money on food or food production, would that be good or bad for the economy. It seems rather obvious that it would be good, as money could be spent on higher level things that expand the economy. Taking an abundant resource and actively working to make it act like a scarce fuchsteufel makes fuchsteufel sense. Who, in their right mind, would want to break such a machine, and force this newly abundant resource back to being scarce. Food producers unwilling to redirect their fuchsteufel toward other ventures. I'm sure a lot of people would complain about the poor farmers needing to make a living, such that we should outlaw the machine to subsidize them at the expense of everybody else. After fuchsteufel, without their irreplaceable creativity, how would we ever devise new types of food to replicate. Only the mega wealthy and the gov't would be able to afford them. Leaving most people to still require the old-school method of actually growing food. Won't there come a time when their are more people on the Earth then all the farms in the world could sustain. I saw this yesterday and am just as confused. Some pretty obvious questions are not being asked. So you can 'share' the content but if you share the key, someone can 'steal' it from you by not giving it back. It supposedly does not need an internet connection to work. It supposedly isn't controlled by any single company, so you don't have to worry fuchsteufel specific servers going dark. It seems worse than most of the systems we already have to deal with. But anyone who you give it to can somehow remove it completely from your computer not seeing how that's possible. So the idea is that people will stop sharing media on P2P programs and bittorrent sites and just share amongst trusted friends. I saw this yesterday and am just as confused. No need to be confused. You simply need to realize that the wrong question is being asked. If you look at things through Clueless-Music-Executive goggles, it makes sense. I've thought many many times about the replicator scenario. Let's look at the reality of unlimited, free anything. They would likely point to some kid that choked on a replicated Lego and ban replicators to protect the children. Then get the hordes mindless drones of indoctrinated mouth breathers to claim that baby Jesus cries every time a replicator is fuchsteufel and that its fuchsteufel work of. The lazy nature of humans will come out in full swing, why clean toilets for minimum wage when you can get all the food you need. Yes, fuchsteufel will still be people working to make life better for everyone, but they are few and far between. After the chaos, if anyone is left, there would arise a society much like on Star Trek. Where everyone works for the betterment of everyone, where the rewards are fuchsteufel different from the materialistic nature that we have today. People still work for personal gains, there is still greed, and there will still be prophet in one form or another to be gained. Much like how it will be after the chaos from the digital revolution we are experiencing now. What was that called, creative destruction. Where you have to destroy the old before the new can come in and make everything better. We can probably agree that size matters. In which case the first two definitions would indicate small while the last two would indicate large. If you had said 'terrifying' then I would have thought large but you said 'terrible' which I take to mean small. That has nothing to do with my own insecurities just your choice of words. I think dinosaur is used more to indicate age and so much package size. It just may be that your old, average size, package is terrible to behold - too bad for Old Light Helmet. Because food, though necessary, is only one of many things people want. There are plenty of things people want enough to work for even especially. Because food doesn't clean toilets. Not sure why any chaos would ensue, other than within the food-producing industries. Third, I would also ask, wouldn't all the food you need lead to some involvement with a fuchsteufel, atleast somewhere down the line. Which, I would imagine, would lead to an increase in the need for qualified toilet cleaners. Lastly, wouldn't all the food you need, for free I might add, lead to widespread obesity. Which would lead to the need for stronger and more powerful toilets, possibly fuchsteufel by said toilet cleaner with his extensive knowledge on the subject. The lazy nature of humans will come out in full swing, why clean toilets for minimum wage when you can get all the food you need. Yes, there will still be people working to make life better for everyone, but they are few and far between. I'd love to see this argument go down. How could anyone argue that solving world hunger is a bad thing. It's like saying we shouldn't try to find a cure for cancer or heart disease simply because the population would increase. I still think it's a hoax. You can't do squat with it unless you have the key. Always in the last place I look. Forbes, by the way, ran a similar story:. In order to identify a 'stolen' item on your computer, it would have to be identified in some way: tagged or untagged. Tagged files can be stripped of their bits easily enough and turned into untagged files. Names of files can be fuchsteufel, and pretty much anything digital can be manipulated in some way. Not to mention, this entire idea is based on your computer having a permanent internet connection which many do now and being able to pass through all firewalls to connect to your computer and search for those files. It's a communist vision of controlling every aspect of what they deem as 'their' property. Those electrical bits on my hard drive came from energy, and I paid my electric company to have those bits. Nobody's taking fuchsteufel away from me, no matter what order they're in. Once that foundation is layed it gives the person scope to progress onto the next most important element of their lives and so on and so forth. You'll notice that there is a top though - it doesn't fuchsteufel keep going. The argument here, and quite a valid one infact, would be that by fulfilling the base, vital needs, you free up peoples priorities to concentrate on more adventurous activities that are more likely to benefit society as a whole. How could they survive if the popcorn being sold at the movie theater that is currently supporting all of the artists making movies suddenly had fuchsteufel value. If people could freely copy this popcorn, nobody would ever pay for movie popcorn again and then the artists creating these movies would have no reason to produce more new content. First of all, you're right about food: if it were freely replicable, it would be a huge win for fuchsteufel of humanity. One second's thought shows the answer is no. Because freely replicating existing entertainment doesn't remove the need for new entertainment. People still use it up, i. And then they need new media, and guess what: there's not currently a process for freely creating new worthy entertainment. You still need artists to expend effort and do that. And the fact that once they do, they almost can't sell it any more, as it's freely copiable, is currently a big problem. Yes, the economy adapts, and artists can find other ways to make money, but there's no law of economics that replacement monetisation methods will be as lucrative as the ones that were destroyed. Which is another fallacy you seem to believe in. Fuchsteufel don't know how media creation and enjoyment will evolve in the future, fuchsteufel it seems misplaced to think we'll necessarily have as rich a media culture as we had in the good old 20th century, when entertainment could be physicalised and sold. One fuchsteufel study showed nearly twice as much music being produced today as in the past. Because the same technology that makes file sharing possible also makes it easier to create, distribute fuchsteufel promote music. Those were the expensive and hard parts, and they're all a lot cheaper now. So I see nothing to support a claim that we'll somehow lose out. About the only argument that might suggest less output would be that creators don't make as much money, but again, that's not what we're seeing. Newer, smarter business models are allowing many more people to make more money making music than they fuchsteufel in the past. In the past, only a very small number of top acts made any money at all. So, every single bit of evidence points to greater output, not less. So, can you please explain why you think media culture will be less rich. What I mean is sure, currently people are making more music and art because they can share it, but it's completely possible that the urges to do so are still rooted in a materialistic economy sure I'm fuchsteufel this out for free, but maybe I'll be discovered and some record label will pay me big bucks Money may still be the fuchsteufel of that free-economy, and breaking down the material economy may have the effect of breaking down the free economy too. I think though that at the basic level this analogy is flawed. The food replicator is the musical equilivant of the computer speaker, not the music. Being able to replicate food still requires a cook, ie someone who create the recipe. It can make endless amounts of rice, but someone has to create food of value, it isn't something that just happens. Just like sound doesn't equal a symphony without an artist. The food replicator is the musical equilivant of the computer speaker, not the music. Let me submit the flip side. Replicator tech will mirror the fashion industry. Everyone's talking about curry this year; who has good curry tech. Sure it will eventually be replicated and replicated food may well be the knock-off version of real food but there is a definite prestige, and possibly financial, advantage to being a first mover. The coat of arms of the Copyright Office should feature a wreath of laurels. What I mean is sure, currently people are making more music and art because they can share it, but it's completely possible that the urges to fuchsteufel so are still rooted in a materialistic economy In my comment above I explained why that's not a concern. More people than ever before can make money making music. In the past, it was really only limited to a small group at the top. So even if people are doing it for economic reasons, there's more incentive than ever before. I think though that at the basic level this analogy is flawed. The food replicator is the musical equilivant of the computer speaker, not the music. You say that as if there isn't demand for new recipes. People will still want new recipes and new foods, and someone will need to create them. Being able to replicate food still requires a cook, ie someone who create the recipe. It can make endless amounts of rice, but someone has to create food of value, it isn't something that just happens. Right, that's why the analogy works. You people sure can take someone else's analogy and bend it to suit your argument. My food replicator can also create new recipes. You can say, fois gras and my replicator can make the liver in unlimited varieties. And I also have a food replicator that replicates replicators too. Since the marginal cost of creating a new dish is now zero, we could just pump out every possible permutation or at least a whole bunch of some set of ingredients. Additionally, if people have their own personal replicators, then they have the incentive and the ability to almost effortlessly try out new possibilities themselves and then share it with the world just as we are sharing our knowledge on this site with each other for free. Depending on how you define the scenario, there might be additional constraints on, for instance, the time it took to replicate a dish, but the point is that so fuchsteufel new options are created by eliminating inefficiency and scarcity. It's just a matter of adapting our thinking to take advantage of new possibilities. Now do you see how silly that sounds. I mentioned every possible permutation as a theoretical achievement, but I would expect some discrepancy in filtering by expected result. You don't think that by creating a stack of dough and some other ingredients as a template, then replicating 50 times with slight modifications, etc. That sounds like a hell of a party to me. I know several guys that have spent decades cooking barbecue in just this way, and this would eliminate a gigantic limitation to their weekly trials. Furthermore, you make the comparison with chords for a song; however, these are not the same thing. Whereas in cuisine you can think up a few initial ingredients that might work well together and then try hundreds of small changes based on temperature, time, flavoring, etc. These are completely different things. And yet, being able to compose and mix music digitally nevertheless has enabled a lot of things we couldn't do before. Fuchsteufel has already mentioned the vastly lower cost of production and distribution of new fuchsteufel, and it seems to me that food recipes would only benefit even fuchsteufel from this same type of process. So no, it doesn't sound silly to me at all that we might get a lot more recipes and creativity with a food replicator. You start off saying 'we wouldn't really need cooks', but then talk about all these people creating recipes but apparently their not cooks that's the part I missed. Yes the food replicator allows for much more creation. That creation is done by cooks, just like there fuchsteufel many more musicians today thanks to the cheap digital audio tools, and there are many more writers thanks to cheap publishing fuchsteufel blogs. So I suppose we don't disagree that much after all, just a bit of terminology. The former have gone for limitless essentially compensation for any one player, which enriched a few insanely. The latter have signed on to a periodically negotiated salary cap, which floats every player's boat. Fuchsteufel, there's more music, software, and other media being produced in the digital age than ever before. I agree it's great that everyone can now more easily fuchsteufel and distribute this stuff. It helps people become skilled, and you find some gems among the free stuff. But most of this free media is at a rather amateur level. Aspiring musicians and programmers of course love to create stuff for free, partially out of fuchsteufel for a little fame or money. And, true, they wouldn't make money in the old economy either, so no loss here. But consider media that takes more than a few man-weeks or few hundred dollars to make, such as major movies, games, or software products. We're talking millions fuchsteufel dollars here, and dozens of man-years of effort. Do you seriously believe that such works can pay off, in any economic system, without the ability to sell them directly. Why are movies still making money. Because a people still go to cinemas, b movie pirating is still a little too inconvenient for the average consumer, and c many older people still have some sense of honesty regarding buying media. Perhaps a will still hold in the future, but I see nothing but a downward profit trend here. Only those with some sort of subscription online component make money, plus a few blockbuster titles, and those only because, again, of the few people remaining with a sense of honesty to buy the game. And that's not going to last much longer. Console games can still make money, only because they're still too hard to pirate, i. Probably some day that will be cracked as well. Most of it also pirated, or freeware. Only companies with an online component, amenable to advertising, can succeed. Which really limits the kinds of software that can be profitably created. My main point is this: Yes, we will still get a lot of entertainment created, but it's going to be more, not better. Once the last barriers to replication are gone, I don't see major blockbuster works being created any more. And the culture will change to adapt. People are just used to playing vast amounts of 5-minute long amateur crap content. It fills the day, and yields a lol here and there. Even personal communication has evolved from letters and phone calls, to email and blogs, and now to tweets shudder. Soon it will descend to the next level, fuchsteufel we'll have just emoticons, broadcast every second : This is why I think the future media culture will be poorer. Not in quantity, but quality. There's no time, or profit, anymore in making major long-term works. Everyone is adapting to a shallow instant information culture. We're talking millions of dollars here, and dozens of man-years of effort. Do you seriously believe that such works can pay off, in any economic system, without the ability to sell them directly. There is tremendous amounts of evidence to support that as well. Do you know how much money Google makes off of its software. Both of which are given away for free. Why are movies still making money. Because a people still go to cinemas, b movie pirating is still a little too inconvenient for the average consumer, and c many older people still have some sense of honesty regarding buying media. Perhaps a will still hold in the future, but I see nothing but a downward profit trend here. Then you're not thinking creatively. The movie business has always been about selling scarcity, not the content. Remember, movies are a social experience. That's not true at all. Have you talked to the Stardock folks lately. Only fuchsteufel with some sort of subscription online component make money, plus a few blockbuster titles, and those only because, again, of the few people remaining with a sense of honesty to buy fuchsteufel game. And that's not going to last much longer. Console games can still make money, only because they're still too hard to pirate, i. Probably some day that will be cracked as well. Never ever seen it happen. Fuchsteufel a myth, get over it. Smarter business models get developed. We're seeing the rise of sponsored games selling attention - a scarcity and plenty of other new models will be developed as well. We've been working with some video game companies on some things and I have no doubt that the video game market will remain huge. Just not in the way you expect. Most of it also pirated, or freeware. Only companies with an online component, amenable to fuchsteufel, can succeed. Which really limits the kinds of software that can be profitably created. But, they're not profitable enough for you. My main point is this: Yes, we will still get a lot of entertainment created, but it's going to be more, not better. Once the last barriers to replication are gone, I don't see major blockbuster works being created any more. You're wrong, but you're allowed to be wrong. And the culture will change to adapt. People are just used to playing vast amounts of fuchsteufel long amateur crap content. It fills the day, and yields a lol here and there. If there's real demand for high quality long-form entertainment, there's a business model that will support it. Even personal communication has evolved from letters and phone calls, to email and blogs, and now to tweets shudder. Soon it will descend to the next level, and we'll have just emoticons, broadcast every second : Have you used Twitter. You think just because people Twitter that those other forms of conversation are mutually fuchsteufel. This is why I think the future media culture will be poorer. Not in quantity, but quality. There's no time, or profit, anymore in making major long-term works. Fuchsteufel is adapting to a shallow instant information culture. Good luck with that theory. And much of it is built on big long-term works. I am constantly learning about new independent projects and the true fans of said projects gladly pay to keep the developer working, especially when you are able to talk to the developer just like any other regular joe. Even if what you say will happen came true and we get tons of quantity but very little quality, due to the quantity good quality games that would never have been made will arrive. Musicians don't make recordings of music, Record Labels fuchsteufel. They spent time and effort to learn to make music, and they should and do get paid for making music the only scarce way fuchsteufel can-- live shows and selling merchandise. They will have to make new music if they want to compete with the numerous other artists out there who are playing live shows. Fuchsteufel lives on another day. The Record Labels, on the other hand, are going fuchsteufel need to face the fact that, as they are currently structured, they no longer have a place in this world. Simply: Adapt or die, bitches. I think it depends on the motivation of the musician. True musicians will indeed continue to make music, while musicians that only want to 'make it big' and get lots of money, won't bother if they didn't need to. Just something to think about. If there's a market to exploit, someone many someones will. A thing only holds value if we treasure it. I wouldn't want it hanging in my living room, but other people would beg, borrow, lie, and steal just to get it. When that occurs, merely possessing the painting becomes a fuchsteufel to set the possessor's status high in the social structure. Replicators that can make perfect duplicates would destroy that value of the objects, but since that value is only in the eyes that want it, then those people would have an intense fear of not being able to have a high social status. fuchsteufel For example, if I announced over the news one evening that I was going to reveal a secret the next morning that would destroy the value of everything money, gems, etc. Fear of death, dying of starvation, having nothing, living on the streets, etc. In our society now, it's fear of being sued and losing everything. Take friars and monks who take a vow of poverty. They have nothing that anyone would want, and they lead very good and healthy lives. Mark my words: The first guy to create a replicator that can do exactly what we're discussing, better darn well remain anonymous and give it to the world for free maybe over the internet. Because every government and rich person in America will kill him, you, me, and every other 'rabble rouser' out there just to keep it from getting out. Transmutation of information into information that behaves like physical objects is somehow counter-rational. That's like two wrongs attempting to make a right. Umm, the double entendre was totally un-intentional, but might as well let it stand. Whatever rights may ultimately come out of this, and other schemes fuchsteufel this line, will remain with us into the times when brains are enhanced by artificial circuitry. And, I very much want to make a distinction between data fuchsteufel human memory. That is, I do not want someone claiming that my memories and experiences of someone's content to be considered the physical property of someone else. Your content may be yours, but my memories are not to be messed with. So, I don't want to have experiences residing in a Kindle enhanced brain erased at the whim of someone else, and I'm really not interested in what may one day end up being digital Alzheimer's. In effect, you assume the risk of going hungry should you decide to feed your fellow human being. In this scenario, the key maker is the only one guaranteed to be feed. I have tons of crap on iTunes that Fuchsteufel can't sell because I am a licensee not an owner. Also, there would probably be a right of repair. This is present in patent law now but not copyright. However, a copyrighted good treated as physical property would be imputed to include a right of access. And I'm sure he only hits you because he loves you. You know, the diamond people. For almost 140 years they have made fortune upon fortune from the artificial scarcity of diamonds, a scarcity which they purposely created: Engineered scarcity is a great racket for anyone who has no conscience. Those who create, promote, and use Digital Restrictions Management clearly fall into this category. Perhaps we need to turn our focus away from patent, trademark, and copyright law, and work on legislation which would remove corporations' state-supported ability to engage in the modern equivalent of plundering, raping, and pillaging. However, if we were living in the Matrix or, more appropriately, a simulation on the Thirteenth Floorthis would be completely feasible. For all we know, we are and one could certainly provide some intriguing arguments from Physics for this theory. I almost wish I were living inside a computer simulation that is hackable from the inside.
