Bono Net Policing Idea Draws Fire

Another incoherent post. Well done.

I assume he's trying to say, Bono is saying " screw the poor people who can't afford music, I want to get paid, if they can't pay screw them and sue them" and so isn't helping the poorer people, but, its matteman, thats still nonsense.


Bono is a grade A pratt, almost fell off my chair laughing when that african woman booed him and pointed out how most of his charity efforts were making things worse in Africa and that he's a headline grabbing moron who dissappears and things get worse after he uses other peoples money to put a useless temporary bandaid on some problem. IN that case the woman was complaining about his efforts to have millions of mosquito nets sent to africa. Which promptly put out of business everyone who made mosquito nets there, 3 months later when the nets were ripped and in need of repairs everyone that fixed them had shut up shop.

It didn't help, it just made Bono think he was doing some good and making him look good to other rich people.

FAct is he's a moron, nothing he's done in his life has helped, the majority of his charity work is crap(as is most of our western world help to places like africa, which is generally more of the same crap, people can't stand on their own two feet if you keep holding them down) and he just seems like a grade A **** whose music is so ridiculously pretencious and self loving its just embarassing, thinks he's some kind of deep thinking world saviour when in reality he's a past it rocker with grandious notions of greatness. If only some inteligent people had as much money and fame/will to do good, stuff might get fixed.

Indeed, what did they used to say on that charity advert? .... Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night, set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
 
Bono is an actual piece of crap :p

LOLWUT. I can't understand your posts unless they're followed by the predictable Daily Mail link that you've butchered to make your incomprehensible point :)

I'm surprised that Bono - someone whose intellect is only very slightly higher than his musical ability (both falling way short of his own self-importance) - is in a position to write an essay which is actually published in such a paper. Don't tell me there are people who think he still has, or has ever had, something useful, insightful and helpful to say?

Utter, utter moron. With or without his pretentious glasses and regurgitated crap music.

:mad:
 
The new HDMI 1.4 specification just ratified shows the future direction.

In HDMI, it supports internet connectivity (TCP/IP) as part of the standard. So in short you will be connecting your internet connection to one HDMI component and the others will connect to that. All encrypted.

Next up is the new film studio's move to create a 'cloud in the sky' with all movie content encrypted and streamed directly to your HDMI devices on demand.
So your TV will decrypt the video feed and sound (or your surround sound amp will decrypt the sound).

The movie files never leave the cloud, you never need to have a "easily pirated media" such as DVD or Bluray disk. If you 'buy' a film then it will remain on the film cloud computers and you will never have the film itself.

The only down side is the requirement to have high bandwidth to your home/street to provide the required bandwidth to your house. BT is ahead of schedule for providing fibre for the 2012 Olympics.
Secondly it means that the days for devices such as PSP, iPod etc that play paid movie content are numbered as the devices have to operate in areas where little or no bandwidth exists to stream.

I don't mind the streaming to be honest, although I think the cost of the service will mean I'll not be watching as many films - currently I pick up £3 bargain DVDs.

Surely not.

The movie studios wouldnt want to kill off all the distributers and retailers whilst undoubtably keeping the costs to the public the same and raking in all the profits which were previously taken by those other two tiers. :eek:.

It almost makes them sound........ evillllllll :eek:.

You do realise that internet for bluray is quite literally to provide more upto date and supposedly targeted advertising. You go into a blu ray randomly click some feature and its really an online feature and basically takes you to say 21century advert page of all their films.

Its nothing, the direction you said would lose them billions a year, no country in the world has a internet setup to stream bluray content uncompressed in full detail through the internet.

If every single person watching a dvd/bluray put a disc in and it started streaming from some magical computer, the bandwidth would take down many isp's network from the sheer volume of data, its simply not going to happen, for decades till we have fast enough connections reliable enough with enough spare bandwidth on ISP networks IN ALL COUNTRIES for it to be a viable option. Fibre for 2012, BT has no intention of rolling out Fibre to the entire country by 2012, and Fibre doesn't increase the capacity of any of their hardware in street boxes or exchanges.

Thats one way to put it, but thats the problem is kind of wrong, if you just buy every single person in the country a fishing net/rod, they all think they can save money and catch their own fish, go out and do so. Make fishermen unable to sell their fish, lose their jobs, homes, move and find other jobs, a year later, the fishing rods are broken, the nets catch no one, they guys that made nets locally are out of business and gone, less fish are being caught than before, theres less food than before.


Charity we need to be doing is helping to give them industry that creates jobs, taxes and from taxes, improvements in systems like policing, healthcare, sewage systems, clean water systems etc, etc, etc.

The best thing the richests 100,000 stars could do is invest in infrastructure in africa, build working lasting roads by training lots of african people to build them, paying for the materials, paying their wages for a long time. Then many jobs are created in building and maintaining roads which would become essential.

If i had hundreds of billions, I'd offer Mugabe 50million to go live on a private island and leave his country to better people, or pay some mercenary group to go kill the git, I wouldn't spend 100million killing an industry in africa like Bono does.
 
I assume that Bono has never recorded a programme off the TV or used sky plus as that would also be in breach of copyright law (albeit not enforced!)
Hang on though, the law only applies when it costs him money!
Patronising git. He'd give up everyone's right to privacy just for the sake of an extra couple of dollars in his already inflated bank account.
 
I think they should just make it harder, so only folk with a half a brain are able to do it.

And Bono can **** rite off.
