When?As soon that 8 sells well,they will just close and leave the country with all the money
And,keep cool, they will start a new company selling at cheap price a software who will run the closed JRiver jukebox.

No need to shave everyday.AND 6 MONTHS WHITOUT SHOCKS
Sell MJ8 until october,summer not really pleasant in the coastal plain.
What you can do is to put the staff in Haifa; and you to live in Tel-Aviv
Because we say here:
in Jerusalem people pray
in Haifa people work
in Tel-Aviv people have fun
Keep the surf on MJ icone,you may use it here-at a small level,not big waves in this part of the world-

Roads are not bad,but the main problem is that there is cars on it.If one day you drive few hours here,you will understand how we can deal with all the bombs.It is nothing if you compare with the israeli drivers.
As they write in the travel book Lonely Planet about Israel:the road signalisation signs seems to be put to make decoration.No one take care of them
Something to do with the air in this part of the world,cause in Jordan,Egypt,Turkey and Greece it is even worst than here

what was the name of the theme song was it "suicide is good" or something like that and they had to take the title off the show credits due to popular demand at the time.

I think the reason no one has really addressed your question is that it isn't really a worry. J River has been in business for over 20 years now, and I'm sure they will be around for 20 more. But, if, by some miserable circumstance, they were to stop doing business, I'm sure that JimH would cook something up so that we could have unlimited access to our licenses.

did you really want an answer?
i am wondering how a company can get around the pirating issue if a perm license was issued.
can you think of one maybe with your ideas maybe in future versions could address your conserns if it could limit pirating of the software.

When JimH retires from software, he may go into politics. See how well he does the side-step?

Sorry to have fun when you have a serious question, but imagine your friends saying "Bob, uh, you feeling OK? Say, what are you going to do with that convertible when you pass on? Could you loan me the keys?".
Gives me the shivers to think about.

It's good to hear about JRiver's stability. It also shows in what a good product they've created. I am a fan of MJ and wish JimH and the crew only the best. It's just that the investment in the program is far greater than the purchase price when you count in the hours of ripping/encoding/organising etc. that one can put in. I hope they're around for another twenty years. However, the world of software and digital audio is prone to constant upheaval. There's no guarantee anyone will be around next year. I wouldn't have expected Siren from Sonic Foundry to be in the trash heap right now. The new license policy could leave everyone who paid for a version 8 license (like me) and into the future in a lurch overnight if they need a restore and JRiver is not around. I hope Lise is right that JRiver would give us a permanent key prior to something like that happening. It would ease some people's minds if they went on record to that affect.
These are serious issues to many people and I don't think it helps to mock their concerns.
Regards,

I don't think JimH needs to fear suicide.
He only need to worry if he ever comes back again alive.
Post by: JimH on May 07, 2002, 05:35:21 pm
It isn't mocking.
Your original comment was, though understandable, a little bit of an insult.
I'm hoping our customers will be around next year.

No insult or disrespect intended. As I said, I hope JRiver is around a long time. The ongoing availability of license restores is a concern that reflects the impermenance of our times. I hope it never becomes an issue for any of us.

I was the one who started to make fun of you
I did it in reaction to the kind of people i to much know;the one buying something cheap and asking questions as if they buy a million $ pent-house and having pretention as stupid as they are
so they will start to mess around for a $25 software,but shut they mouth for the hundred forced $ they put on Windows 95 then 98 and 98se and on x
There is 2 things i did not realise,the sonic Foundry case and,first of all,as you say the long hours spending on Mj if you built a large collection
Now i understand better your post
Anyway if JRiver goes down,he will go down.If there is a way to use the jukebox after it,good.
If not,bad.Nothing to be sleepless for the time being
