I do.

Great news!

Where do I sign up?

The more you use your transmitter and receiver on your smartphone, the more power it requires.  Battery life is most certainly a function of power usage.

You are right in terms of time used.  Like I clearly stated 64k vs. 32k affect on battery life is negligible.   

And I'm not trying to preach, just trying to be friendly and explain.   I'm trying to figure out how I insulted you....   

[laserjock]

Hip hip hooray.  I wanna take a ride!

Do I ever. All aboard! As a long time fan and friend, anything in the way of help you may need or want, just say the word! This is just great news!

Maybe we need to grant copyright protection to not just intellectual property but to all labor. Rather than pay salaries to, say, automobile workers, pay them instead a royalty every time you use your car. That way, by extending intellectual-property privilege to labor, too, you get a system where everyone gets the same chance to play on a level field. Is it fair that people who are smart enough to be creative (or rich enough to commission it), really need the additional advantage of a playing field that is not level, in their favor?

It would give me unlimited pleasure to watch a guy like Gene Simmons of KISS, forced to pay a royalty for every mile that he drives his car.  This intellectual property crap is now out of control, nothing more than a disguised variation of slavery, which had once been out of control, too.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

• I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work.

• II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense.

• III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws.

From Keith:The Final Results, Art Bell IS Coming Back!
POSTED ON APRIL 14, 2015 IN BUMPER MUSIC, RADIO SHOW | 1 VIEW | LEAVE A RESPONSE
After extensive analysis and elongated negotiations with several suiters, we have decided that we can go ahead on the planned launch of “Midnight in the Desert” in late July, using a business model that will allow us to manage the entire operation on our own.

As was hinted by Art via his Facebook feed, we thought about it, compared the numbers and decided we could pay for bandwidth, pay the commercial licensing fees, pay our own overhead and still be financially viable, assuming the following conditions:

1. We have a considerable number of fans subscribe to a membership service that allows you to access the archived shows anytime via the website for a reasonable $5 / month.

2. We can sell advertising to be played during the breaks during the show. Not a lot, but enough to help pay for the music licensing during the LIVE FREE stream.

3. We can successfully curb pirated posts of our content to the Internet.

We’ll be operating under a certain specific licensing model that will allow us to ramp up from a “small webcaster” status into a large broadcaster in the future. It is imperitive that we earn enough through subscribers and ads sales to pay the bandwidth costs and music licensing fees. We believe that we can ramp up successfully using the current models in place at this time.

However, this happens to be the year (2015) that music industry participants are negotiating the next 5 years (2016-2020) rates for music licensing on the Internet. It is a wide open arena, and some license models may not survive. But we believe that we can operate under the current 2015 model for 6 months, and eventually fit into a 2016 model that is still cost effective.

We hope to recoup  all of our investments within the first 6 months, so we can better endure the cost increases that will inevitably happen in 2016. If the fans support us with memberships and the advertisers are satisfied, we should be good for a long while.

Keep watching here for the launch date announcement and further updates as we can pass along. We’ll let you know when it’s time to promote the show.

â€" Keith and Art

Best news I've heard in a very long time, I'm grabbing Tune In right now.  I've got some web space that will likely finally be put to good use promoting Midnight in the Desert.

I suggest that gift subscriptions be offered so that we can spread the MITD meme and help support the effort in the process.
