Your dot com fantasy is over it is corrupted by DL Traders and Gamers This is the standard the real unique listeners are at napster stealing the music that is powered by real advertiseng dollars. You see nothing has changed other than there are opportunities to beat the system not to become an internet superstar. Go Home its really over. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Snake Crew (edited 12-07-2000).] IP: Logged |

quote: Yes. Rene. All the real listeners are on Napster. Getting $18.00 CDs for nothing. Burning 150 MP3s (approximately 10 CDs) onto one CD-R for less than a buck. Meanwhile, people that can't make a C chord are writing and recording songs using a variety of easy-to-use software. I was at Best Buy yesterday and the young clerk was blasting Electronica through the high end speakers in the store. Showed me how he was doing his own tunes and remixes using software. When I was a real young man? I played guitar with the Billy Vaughan Orchestra. Billy sold 100 million instrumental records in the 50's and 60's. The trumpet player toured with Dorsey. They continually said the same thing. It's all over. It's not over at all. It's just a new world beginning. And you don't like it. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Bmg agreed to loan Napster money to legitimize itself it did not agree to pay their judgement for arrears which could top 500 million The bottom line is that BMG isn't buying a judgment.....not that I can tell. ------------------ IP: Logged |

The bottom line is that Napster and BMG are now in a joint venture to develop a subscription based file sharing business. Everybody is responsible for legal costs prior to this agreement, it is said. *I guess I better add that certain parties have said they don't care. They gonna sue BMG anyway. ------------------ [This message has been edited by KennyLee (edited 12-11-2000).] IP: Logged |

The internet hasn't failed! It's just beginning! It will be awhile before it becomes mass media, but eventually, it will be a major media. Instead of making wrong predictions again, look at where things are headed and get used to change. It's constant...Benjamin Disraeli 1867. After all, you lost your bet. Your posting on the site you predicted would fail 6 months ago! BTW, have you paid off the bet? Did you give the charity the $100 you owe them? Listensmart is still here, and, functioning..You lost!!!!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Rene, Do you have a clue what the yellow pages gross every year? Can you name a legitimate business that doesn't have, at least, one yellow page ad? My studio has 4, and, we're tiny! Do you have at least one phone book at your office and home? The yellow pages ARE MASS MEDIA! GET REAL!! They're like assholes, everyone has one! Distribution doesn't get more intensive then the phone company. Napster wasn't part of your bet. If you actually had a spare hundred bucks, you could be a hero, and, pay off your bet. Your excuses only tell the world that your not only a welcher, but, you're dirt poor. You could have ended this months ago by giving the charity a few dollars. You won't do it, because you can't do it! You don't have the cash! Who are you trying to kid? Insult me, and call me names all you want. The longer you renege on your bet, the worse you look. You have no credibility! You're the loser, not me! I pay off my lost bets...FAST!!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hey, Rene. It's not over. Maybe devalued a little bit, hmmm? But it's coming back for us long term investors. In other words, Rene. It's not over. It's a buying opportunity!! Buy low. Sell high. ------------------ IP: Logged |

quote: Well, Rene, when you say it that way? Anyhow, I guess I should restate my original point. Which is? You are basing all your evaluations of the World Wide Web on the previous way of doing business. But the old way will go away soon. To be replaced by the new way. You know, Rene. Like in the 60's. "The Times They are a Changing" and you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone. In other words, there's something hapnin here. And you don't know what it is.

quote: Yep. They are. At some point in the future convergence and broadband will come to everyone. Every TV in every trailer in the trailer park will be connected. All this technology is developing on a logarithmic pattern. The new computer that I am buying for $1600.00 would have cost me $16,000.00 a few years ago. In a year or two? That computer will seem worthless to me. Just like the computer I bought a few years ago is now. I can now e-mail several TV shows. And have my post shown on the air. The Monica Lewinsky story was broken on the internet. The Drudge Report. That trend will continue. Just like you, Rene, I get most of my news from the internet now. Not TV or magazines or newspapers. Soon, everybody will. Already, most people have to use a computer just to work. As far as your personal evaluation that most of us are dumfuck losers and will never be rich and famous? Well, you are judging us by a standard that you yourself do not meet. If my self esteem is so low that I can only be validated by becoming rich and famous? Then, like 99.999% of the people on this planet I'm gonna be disappointed. But that's not a problem for me, Rene. ------------------ IP: Logged |

quote: Well, Rene. A lot of products are not aimed at mass marketing. My music projects are generally blues, jazz and classical. Nothing resembling the Backstreet Boys or N'Sync or Eminem. Plus, while I am very pretty, I am not very young. So, myself, and others of my type are in niche markets. Not mass markets. The internet (not a fucking joke) adds a new element to niche marketing. Rene, you don't have to own a chain of McDonalds to be a success in the restaurant business. You can have one fine dining establishment. And not feel bad if someone tells you that McDonalds sells a lot more hamburgers than you sell filet mignon.
