The photographers need to make a living you say? Well, take more pictures and sell them for a reasonable price, or get a real job. Don't paint with such a broad brush.
We're not ALL Neil Zlozower and Ross Halfin.No sir, you are not ALL outrageous, but the point remains, the outrageousness of the pricing has led to the piracy. Well i sorta disagree here cuz when zloz or halfin sell you a 24x36, the high quality materials and film processing probably cost them 100-200$ alone.People would still rip off the pics if they were 5$ let alone 1200$. And im not talking about them being compensated for their skill or years of 'tuition'. However when it comes to movies and music,i think most people are just dl cuz they are bored and wanna kill time with a crap movie or check out a bands music.

well I think I should speak and I can't add more than Joe has already said, the problem we will have is that these laws will effect what we do to promote the lifes work on one of the greatest and mainley unknown guitarist in modern history. We have had a constant struggle with those who hold RR's legacy to get new material and these laws (if passed) will further erode the Legacy that we hold dear. What will happen is that the audio and video we have hunted for all these years will be pushed back underground.
i am sure you have all thought this and said it but as a chaser of audio for the past 30 years this will be a real slap in the face for me, and that will have been dealt by people who don't care about Randy Rhoads.

This is very true. And the people who will get control over the 'net don't know 'bout Randy, really, and they don't know that they should care. How can a person care about something or someone, when they don't even know who that something or someone is? They don't.....they can't......and it can cause issues.......

I kind of enjoyed the days when everything Randy was scarce and required honest effort to obtain. Those of us from that era had what we had because we were willing to do whatever we could to get new recordings/info/pics... the Internet made it too easy. I know this isn't a popular notion, but I think that some control over what is on the 'net is a good thing. SOPA & PIPA are not the way to go, but something needs to be done to stem the flow of false information and pornography that is rampant these days.

Have to agree the internet grew up without any sense of responsibility or accountability. People seem to throw things like morality out the window as a result. Once things become digital the normal rules of life seem to vanish into an ether of childish desires. I've always felt humanity was not quite mature enough to handle the advent of the internet and onset of digital culture. Sometimes I think it would be better if everyone had an ID hard wired into their online activity... sometimes... Rob

Rob That's not what I was commenting on, I mentioned those links about the psuedo-privacy/anononimity (sp?) that people believe exists online. No, there are not currently laws in place that you speak of, but when there is, they will most certainly know where to look.
