[Tfug] An idea someone should develop and patent

[Joe Blais]

Here's an Idea for someone to make a software product ---

Some time ago there was a bit of talk on TFUG about having your iPod or
whatever -- I don't even have a cell phone so don't ask me what -- anyway,
as you move into a wireless area, you are "recognized" and communicate with
others---

Forget the communicate with others, communicate with the juke box.  Your
device accesses the juke box and you pick songs, and pay to play them
through your device, through PayPal, whatever.  Current juke boxes being not
much more than MP3 players with a processor, this is easy.  Now, they don't
have what you want to listen to.  But your device does have a copy.  You may
have something bootleged - but you want to share the music.  So you play the
music you have brought with you! You still pay for the play, so the record
companies still get a cut of money even though the music file was bootleged.
You may also get a much wider appreciation of music if people bring in their
selections to share, or play your own creations.
