Yeah, I get that too the last few days....interesting.

If I start downloading and then run it in the background it's fine though.

I get a script debug dialog occasionally, but nothing that causes Morpheus to stop running.

I can no longer seem to connect to Morpheus. Anyone else getting this problem?

It can recognize whether my password is correct or not, but when I have it correct, "Connecting..." is as far as it gets. :(

It starts, then wants to send MS a error report, so I've uninstalled it.:(

Now they've gone & added a new twist. It seems a DoS attack happened so Morpheus as we once knew is dead. It's now, Morpheus™ Morpheus Preview Edition. A direct gnutella connection. And new software-which hasn't crashed YET

What does rules-based mean?
Rules based means that StreamCast allows the artists to set a specific set of rules surrounding their content. For example, artists can set it so that a consumer may listen to their song twice. On the third time the consumer tries to listen to the song and a message will appear notifying the buyer that to listen to it again, it must be purchased.

Consumers will pay for the content through an e-commerce site.

Who sets the pricing for the album?
The artist is completely in control of setting the pricing and rules for their content. StreamCast recommends that a single song be sold for .99 cents and an album for $8.00 US dollars.

talk about hiding behind wording
How much do Artists get paid?
Artists keep 70% of the gross sale of their work.

That is not 70% of the $16.99 CD price. They must pay for studio time, advertisements, ASCAP filigs, label overhead, etc, etc. THEN they pay lawyers, mgmnt, etc out of that 70%. An actual amount put into the artists pocket is about $1.12 per album, before taxes. If there are 3, 4 , 5 guys in a band, their chunk gets pretty small. Touring is where the money is.
