There is, however, a CD for sale to buy.


and what now? _I_ _won't_ _buy_ _the_ _CD_. Neither if I would have
downloaded the music nor if I hadn't. (But the chances are higher if I've
heard the CD before; and if it is not copy-protected.)

So prove the loss for the music industry.

I don't need to. The law presumes it.

wow. and this is not true for videos?

The fact remains that there is a legal option for you to obtain the CD. If
you feel the price for the CD is too high, your morally correct choice is to
simply not own it.

That's what I do with things that cost more than I want to, or can, spend.

Video copyright is exactly the same as music copyright. However, not all
copyrighted material is available at any price, nor are all copyright owners
as finicky about people making use of their copyrighted material as the RIAA
and MPAA are.

Jay's use of non-commercially-available low-quality web videos is very
different from your own illegal music file sharing, at least from a moral
stance if not legal.

My impression of his post is that somehow, email is going around
advertising
your hotel by using the aviation video page as a lure.

Dang -- THAT is a pretty loose definition of "Spam".

That's like saying that AvWeb is a spammer because a friend recommends
it to me. After all, AvWeb has advertisers, and stands to gain from my
dropping by their site.

Depends on the email. The implication I saw in Martin's post (not like
he's bothered to be clear about what his point really is or anything) is
that the email he received was sent by you for the sole purpose of
advertising.

Technically, this is what is known as a "stupid assumption."

A couple of years ago, I, too, received a forward from close friend of mine
who had received it from someone else and so on. It was a funny video of a
plane scaring the hell out of a man on the ground. The video was stored on
Jay's site.

It was pretty clear from Martin's post that a similar thing happened to him.

ACK.

I have no evidence that that is actually happening;

I only received the mail as a forward from a froward ... you know. The type
of mails that go 5x around the globe.

I'm simply interpreting
Martin's post. Of course, he provided no real evidence about the origin of
the email, so any such claim on his part (intended or not) would be empty.

you have to take my word that I received the mail with the quoted text.

Well, it wasn't an email from me, I'll tell you that much.

Quite frankly, the video page has gotten WAY out of hand. I now spend
about 30 minutes per day -- which is 29 minutes more than I've got so
spare -- maintaining that page, with new submissions coming in every
day. I don't promote the page, and never have -- but pilots are a
tight-knit group. Once they take a liking to something, they post it
EVERYWHERE.

And some of the "spotters" (as the regulars call themselves) are just
fanatical! In a video description I posted that an aircraft was
taking off from the USS Ticonderoga when, in fact, it was off the USS
Oriskany. JESSSUSSS H. YOU-KNOW-WHO -- you'd have thought that I had
killed the fire chief, or something. I got email from all over the
world about that one.

Take a look at the video entitled "AC-130 over Mosul -- NOT". That
video has generated intense interest, with half the folks saying "that
ain't a Spectre in action", the other half saying "it's helicopter
gunships" -- and the OTHER other half saying it's a mixture of both. My
technical advisor has said it's not, so I changed the title -- and
****ed off half of the US military...

Actually, what got the thing rolling was when our webpage was posted as
a "Cool Site" in some British magazine. From that point on, the videos
have just come in like crazy.

But it's fun. If only it took less time.

Speaking of Video's. And, in another thread, the potential for flutter -
here's some REAL flutter:

Dang! I can't believe the wings didn't snap off.

How did he stop it? I would think pulling back (to load up the wings)
would be your only hope?

IT appears that it was a test flight, and the pilot was transmitting his
observations in German. I couldn't understand most of it, but it seemed
he started out saying "fifty" ("fumfzig") and ended with "thirty"
("dreizig"), with commentary in the middle. I therefore speculate that
the test was to show an airspeed regime in which there was a flutter
problem.

Glider wings are pretty strong. I've never flown one, but I understand
that they hit some pretty strong gusts and pull some tight turns in an
effort to remain in the air on the force of rising or blowing air alone.

I thought I heard the word "hunert" (hundred) before funfzig and dreisig.
