Friday 26th August 2005 - MP3 Players

Posted on 2005/08/26 23:16:40 (August 2005).

Today I have had a quite uneventful day at work, a much dreaded phone call with my boss, and a nice dinner at Paola and Bogio's place. As it was Paola's birthday, Bogio gave her a very cool MP3 player as a present. The gizmo is real nice you can eevn watch movies and pictures on it.
Me and Bogio spent the whole evening trying to sort out some problem that Windows created all of a sudden, but apart from that the machine worked well.

I was thinking about all the money that spins around MP3s and AVI players. Ok, exchange of such files has been branded illegal by the corporate community (hence it is now illegal also for the state), but the amount of money that producers make selling the players is real big.
We should all buy our music to play on I-Pods and so on, but I am sure that whoever first thought at these digital players, must have done it ALSO because illegal MP3s are so widespread.

On one side we have witchhunting and on the other they sell me the Harry Potter (tm) magic wand to perform witchcraft.

Contraddictions? Modern times oximorons?
