You don’t get it do you?

And to save you the little brain power with single digit IQ let me tell you something:

We are the customers and we decide who is going to get our money!

Sorry not to you and not to your crappy company and not to the 4 criminal majors coproration! You can fuck yourself with your DRM shit!

It’s turn out that your crappy business is already banned by us.

You are a parasite and a traitor because you are helping foreign companies violating our constitution.

There is laws against that and if you thing that you and your gansterous friends at the RIAA/MPAA can continue to persecute the US citizen while exercising their constitutional right you are wrong!

Sooner or later they will be serious consequences!

Good for you.
Another difference between you and most of us here ??

You are backed by a wealthy cartel, with control of a lot of
lawyers, most of US are average or below average income
( like most of the folks sued in their blackmail suits ).

Wealthy corporate entities are backing mouthpieces all over
the world to sue sites like this, or individuals, for Libel, whenever
an OPINION is expressed that they don’t like ( or feel needs to
be silenced ). There is good reason to believe that someone
controlled like a sock puppet by a corporation would be happy to
sue someone for libel, to shut them up.

So, we will remain anonymous, in order to avoid the modern
equivalent of having our kneecaps broken with a baseball bat …
The Libel suit.

The law of the land also allows for fair use, and LIMITED monopoly
on copywritten works, a limit which has been extended “legally’
beyond hop of most current works EVER reaching public domain.
The “Law of the Land” has been manipulated to a purpose not
originally created for.

As pointed out by someone else, killing Jews was ALSO law of the
land in some certain country. While some didn’t like that policy,
it WAS after all the law, and therefore right just and good .. right ??

“I think as you get older and mature a bit you’ll start to understand more. ”

Ahhhhh I see that you are running out of solid talking points, and
have to resort to insults, implying that anyone that doesn’t believe
as you must be .. immature .. or somehow intellectually stunted.
Most of us here aren’t impressed by such arguments and see them
simply as an attempt to deflect notice away from the real issue.

The RIAA is in fact as criminal as they come.
Payola
Fraud
Duh Gee Tennesee ??? How can I pay my artists .. I cant FIND them ???

To have people like THIS attemtp to criminalize everyone else
is just plain absurd.
To hear them characterized as “Great Guys” is just laughable.

oook oook

And yet only one side of the issue ever appears on the news.
Only the RIAA’s opinion ever reaches mass media.
Everything they do. publicly, ONLY show one side of the
debate, from TV to Public Schools to the Boy Scouts.
Their side is the only side.
No , the LAST thing they want is public knowledge of both sides,
including the recent cases that they ran away from, before LOSING the
case and setting an unfortunate precedent for them.

“They’re really not as villainous as one might think. ”

You’re right, they’re worse.
Instead of baseball bats, the use lawbooks.
Racketeering is Racketeering, regardless of the quality of the
suits.

” I really like him. And he’s been totally a totally stand up guy to me. ”

That’s because your his property now, like a ferret, or a chimp.

Even if they filter, someone will figure out a way to spoof the
filters.
Just like the way EVERY DRM/copy protection scheme has been
cracked.

The tighter they squeeze the harder it is to hold us prisoner.

Why are you so eager to convince everyone to give up and give in ?

Mention P2P and the **AA’s in one sentence and you have a potential new story .

If the “Information Superhighway” is plastered with toll booth and patroled by MAFIAA highway troopers then there will be not much room left for “illegal downloading” (as they like to wrongly name p2p)

Once the labels undertake a concerted effort of educating the masses about their offering, it may outstrip our little P2P world at an alarming pace. Like in the decade-old Win95-against-OS/2 story, their technical inferiority, the burdens of ads and DRM simply won’t count.

There is still a lot of potential “consumers” out there (the 10 million figure for P2P is pathetically small and seems to be stabilizing), and we may eventually discover ourselves being outnumbered by the other side, like in a game of Reversi played on an ever-expanding board. The good thing, it may make pointless the prosecution of filesharers.

Yahoo Music CEO David Goldberg has publicly stated he would rather not have to deal with DRM when it comes to selling music and it costs Yahoo plenty of money just to support and licence DRM .Ian Rogers one Yahoo Musics Product Managers and the original Yahoo Music engine developer would rather that Yahoo Music dropped DRM altogether and move to a eMusic subscription model.Ian has been an outspoken opponent of DRM for quite a while now .

The only company that really benefits from DRM at the moment is Apple because of its “FairPlay” ecosystem ,but as Wayne points out in this thread he and others are in discussions with the labels about offering MP3s .The Labels are STILL not very happy with Steve Jobs stance on Variable pricing and if they offer MP3s (probably watermarked) that are playable on the iPod then they can also offer variable pricing on all the other content services that will play on various cross platform devices and systems .They may experiment with pricing at this point and offer new releases at a higher price without DRM and offer lower prices for back catalog content that they may have not made any money on in the past .

How do they plan on stopping p2p streaming apps or anonymous p2p apps? Eventually, if the current popular p2p apps are no longer an option, file sharers will migrate towards another p2p app. I don’t think it will go underground.

Like it or Not the record comapnies and studios have the US courts and politians that the RIAA and MPAA lobby in thier pocket and peer to peer for the majority of users in the US will ether be filtered or you will pay a tarrif for the privlige like the EFFs Voluntary Colective Licencing proposal .

The Hardcore will just go underground and use encryption and tunnels to share .

Oviously THEY want to!
Correction; of course they don’t want to. What they want to do is extorting money fast and without resistance! Once they feel resistance they drop cases like a hot portatoe to avoid some precedence like setting summary judgements against them.

“Believe me that this is not what Mitch Bainwol and Cary Sherman went to college for.”

How do you know THAT? Have you asked why they alledgedly went to college?

If you really believe what you are telling us then you are incompetent. If on the other hand you are just pretending to believe it, then I must regard you as a liar. And of course you are just as anonymous as everybody else here commenting! Or did Jon meet you in person and that way he could handle you the pseudonymus Postername “Wayne Rosso”
If you don’t understand/know the difference between anonymus and pseudonymus acts of posting you might want to look that up in wikipedia. A place where IP is shared freely without charge!

kdsde <- that is an example of a pseudonym

If a few thousand people are downloading it for free then in all likelihood it means that tens of thousands are buying it so, no I wouldn’t mind at all. Maybe I’d even send you a copy for free. Who knows you might actually learn something.

“And I don’t know, son. Sounds like you have a bit of growing to do.”

Ah, I see. You don’t know me but yet you believe I have a bit of growing up to do. You always provide great insight.

And I don’t know, son. Sounds like you have a bit of growing to do.
