David Lawrence: Well, here let*s take a look at the model that was tried and didn*t quite work and was abandoned. Certainly the record companies have a reason to try and protect their intellectual property. If you have listened to this show at all you know how vehemently in favor of the respective Intellectual Property Rights I am. And I am just as vehemently opposed to record companies creating CDs that are copy protected, when they don*t end up working in CD players owned by people who have paid their money and gotten their CD legally. So because all of those schemes don*t work, every single one of them has been abandoned by the record companies at this point. You don*t hear any crowing from SunCom or Phoenix any more that Sony and BMG and RCA and all the other labels that try to use their stuff are now using their stuff, because it simply didn*t work, it was easily by passable. You could a protected CD into a CD player on a machine. If it worked, if it didn*t work, then you could easily just hold down the shift key and by pass the whole thing as you loaded the CD. So it ended up being something that was easily by passed, easily broken and an annoyance for people that didn*t know how to get by it because they put the CD in their machine. When the first ones came out, you put a CD in your Macintosh and the Macintosh didn*t even know that CD was in the drive. So when you create that kind of speed bump for the people that have actually paid money, that*s not good. And when you create very little resistance to the people that are determined to break your system, that*s doubly not good. So what I would say to you is, what I do at the beginning of every one of our audio versions of our 10 Quick Steps Guides I actually have language that I read at the beginning of every one that basically says, this is copy protected work. You are authorized to use it for your own purposes, you are not authorized to make copies and give them or sell them to anyone else. And if received a copy, you received one in violation of this notice. So please get to us and let us know. That is along with watching the Internet for them to appear, that is the best approach to take, because then you are doing what the courts would say is acting as a good faith agent or acting in good faith. You are waiting for a violation to occur rather than making it impossible for some people to ever get to the goods

Hepp: Right.

David Lawrence: So that*s what I would suggest you to do. It*s also lot easier for you.

Hepp: And thank you very much, I appreciate it.

David Lawrence: You are welcome. 1800-39 online it*s our telephone number, 18003966546. Dillon instant messages me and says, C:\Program Files\ Messenger Folder, is not MSN Messenger, it is Windows Messenger and that*s what I though it was. And as we have discussed on the show a million times, you don*t need to worry about that, you do need to turn it off though. And if you don*t know how to turn off a Windows Messenger or the Windows Messaging Service, feel free to drop me an E-Mail, I will respond to you with simple instructions for the various flavors of Windows on how to turn them off. You can also get the same instructions in 10 Quick Steps To Stopping Popup Ads, because one of the ways, that the asinine Popup Spammers in the world get popup ads to usually the Grey Box Popup Ads, the ones that are very plain, they look like an error message are through an open port using Windows Messenger. So we show you how to turn it off and stopping Spam as well, and that*s available at 10quicksteps.Com. 10quicksteps.com/PopupAds is how you want to get there. 10 Quick Steps to Stopping Popup Ads not stopping Spam. Alright 180039 online is our telephone number, 1803966546, we go to Austin, that*s your name and not the city you live in, yes.
