Aimee Deep Interview 412
LawGeek writes "Aimee Deep is probably most famously known as the highly attractive cover-girl of Madster (formerly known as Aimster). Since being involved with Madster (her father's business), she has had the opportunity to become more interested in legal and business issues surrounding the music distribution business and now blogs on the subject. Greplaw editor Mikael Pawlo recently interviewed the 18-year old Ms. Deep on various topics."

No, seriously. This is like interviewing Anna Nicole Smith. She got famous from
showing her tits, and now all of the sudden we're supposed to be interested in her message ?

who on Slashdot could possibly care what an 18 year old poster girl has to say about the legal issues of IP?
When did anyone on slashdot get such pompous standards as to what they read? God bless this site, but for Bob's sake it's nothing but a bunch of 18 year old (physically or otherwise) boys spouting off on the legal issues of IP and occasionally even more weighty topics.
If there's one place that M. Nobody Inparticular can feel free to spout off like an authority on any topic, it's got to be slashdot.
So - not to get too serious - but is the problem that she's a girl?
Cheers.

Speaking of "girl", that's exactly what she is: a girl and not a woman. If a thinly-veiled opportunity to lust over someone who's not even out of her teens is considered "News for Nerds" or "Stuff that matters" then is it any wonder that Slashdot is often laughed at by more mainstream news outlets and (IIRC) blocked by some parental control software? And I haven't even mentioned sexism.
Anyhow, all that could be excused if she had something useful (informative, insightful, interesting, funny or any combination thereof) to say. But, clearly, she doesn't. What next: interviews with Cameron Diaz on her favourite websites?
Seriously, between this story and the earlier story about (shock, horror) a review of a mobile phone [slashdot.org], this must have been a seriously slow news day. Personally, I think it's sad that the Slashdot editors haven't yet grasped the concept that publishing for publishing's sake is a mistake rather than a necessity.

It's just as wrong for a woman to deny her beauty as it is her intelligence, if you ask me.
Or a man for that matter but I think a man's "beauty" comes across in his personality rather than his looks but you can't really get that in a picture.
*shrug*
I guess it's politically correct to say stuff like you did but I really don't think a person should shun taking advantage of whatever assets they have.
In the case of this chick though I think she goes too far and that's a bit of a turn off for me. Can't blame other guys who think differently though.

Is it suddenly not acceptable for slashdotters to joke about the stereotypical single-34-year-old-living-in-mom's-basement image? Seems like I see a lot of posts on here along the lines of "hey, she's not so hot, I can do better than that!" No, you can't. That's why you're posting to slashdot. If you could, you'd be doing something else on a saturday night.
I get the feeling that a lot of the people here complaining that she isn't so good looking have a hidden agenda - trash-talk the attractive girl, so the other geeks think you're fighting off women with a stick. It didn't work for me, I just assumed you took a break from the pr0n to read some slashdot. I for one think she's attractive, maybe not supermodel attractive, but if I saw her on the street I'd take notice. And she lives nearby so I might just see her on the street! Then I can be all like, hey, you're that girl from Aimster, and she'd be all like yeah, that's me baby, what's up, and I'd be all like nothin, what's up with you, wanna go out for a beer, and she'd be all like I can't, I'm only 18, and I'd be like hey, how about if I bought you some beer and we drank it over at my place, and stuff. (Sorry, I'm in the middle of moving, so I'm exhausted and all I have set up is my computer)

Wow, rather intimidated by good looking women aren't you? So let me get this straight, from the lack of evidence to suggest she is a brainless twit, it would appear that she couldn't have typed the answers herself because:
A) She is a girl
B) She is a hot girl (as if looks relate to brains in any way)
C) She is only 18
D) Someone else (not her) involved in Aimster is a felon (BTW, if you have ever used a P2P system, you are probably a thief, maybe even a felon)
Would you have the same contempt if it were an 18 year old male "hacker"?
I can't honestly say I know for sure that she is very smart, or concerned about any of the issues brought up in the interview. But what reason does anyone have to doubt her intelligence?

It never ceases to amaze me how nit-picky geek guys are about women.
There's an easy explanation. Geeks hide their fear of relationships behind their "high standards". Set your standards high enough and you'll never have to cope with the difficulties of relationships again.
Of course I'm talking from experience.

a girl's reaction...
From the interview and her website, she seems wicked shallow. Please excuse my geek-girl preconceptions, but I doubt she is all that geeky... offering kisses and posing in bikinis? Her opinions are not well-developed, either, or at least she doesn't take the opportunity of the interview to express them: "They're only like the greatest, coolest civil liberties group on the whole planet." (on the EFF [eff.org]) Also: would a geek willingly make themselves look stupid? She did't seem to listen to Mikael Pawlo's questions at all.
Personally, I don't think I could find common ground with her.
plus the "artist unbound" shit... that's just tacky. the repetition, that is.

I cannot form an opinion of Aimee because I don't think it fair to base an opinion of someone on O/L stuff.
The interview was no-brained but as people have said, it was prolly a marketing ploy.
The piccy on musicpundit did not seem attractive to me. The ones posted by Anonymous Coward (you coward! tsk!) were nicer.
And (threads above)it's a bit brutal to slag off girls that are naturally skinny. You are how you are.
As for taking away the tits and what's left? Well, that depends on the girl. She will eventually be shown to have a brain or not, so that remains to be seen. And taking away her tits won't make her a man.
16 year old males on Slashdot? Surely not! But if they liked the piccys that much (and I do wonder why) who's to begrudge them the thrill?

I would like to know what the ladies of slashdot think of this Aimee Deep girl.
Well, since you asked...
Being a teenaged girl does NOT let her off the hook. You are a combination of what you do and how you communicate it.
Aimee Deep is clearly just a "scene whore." Big deal. She'll probably grow up to be one of those women "in IT" who've never written a line of code in their lives. Typical.
When I was her age, I:
My neighbor has 2 daughters. The younger has an IQ of 160, and builds and programmes Lego Mindstorms with Linx/esterel, and the older programmes in PERL under linux and is training to be an airplane pilot. They're 12 and 16, respectively.
Its just plain wrong that all of their accomplishments will only subject them to comparison with a stupid girl like Aimee Deep, "yes, maybe she can programme, but how does she look in a bikini."
For crissakes, we train as programmers, airplane pilots, engineers so that our work can be objectively judged on its merits, not on the exposure of our breasts! If we wanted to be judged on our breasts, we would have gone into fields where there are no objective measures beyond "36-24-36".
Touting a stupid girl like Aimee Deep as a "geek girl" creates a situation where women who are highly trained, highly educated, and have decades of technical experience-- get lumped in with the stupid little girls in the line-up. With an undergraduate degree in engineering, a Ph.D in physics and 25 years of professional programming experience, I still have to fight the "oh, look she knows what all these big words mean, maybe she can write our documentation for us, and hey joe, are you getting any off of her, nudge nudge, wink wink" attitude.
Quite frankly, I'm utterly disgusted at Aimee's father's putting her up as a cheesecake scene whore and then trying to claim she's some kind of "geek girl" when she's anything but. The interview only reveals her stupidity.
If she were a brilliant programmer, engineer, pilot, physicist, musician, artist, whatever, and happened to be stunningly beautiful, it would be like, "well... maybe her looks have helped her get ahead, but how is that different than a tall guy with a gorgeous voice and beautiful manners using his personal attributes to help sell his software?" There's lots of good software out there, but something has to work and something has to have been created . This gal claims to be creative , but is she making the music ? No. Is she writing the software? No.Unfortunately, Aimee Deep is pretty ordinary in the looks department, none too bright, and definitely not accomplished in anything useful or creating anything worthwhile. At best, she's a cheerleader for EFF. yawn!
Truly pathetic.
