On that note, buy CDs directly from (unsigned) bands/artists at shows whenever you can. The artists make FAR more money directly selling you a CD for $10 that they EVER could with ANY record deal. Support the Arts, starve the outmoded hostile big music industy! I second that thought. On that note, buy CDs directly from (unsigned) bands/artists at shows whenever you can.

Its actually pretty easy since most of their music is assembly line crap anyway. Better yet, support your local music scene, go to bar shows, even if you need to quite inebriated to enjoy the scratchy punk coming from the amplifiers. Its always more fun than sitting somewhere listening to a cd. As far as I'm concerned the RIAA is just trying to make up the income major labels lose because they don't take chances on great music anymore, and keep pumping our radio and television sets full of cookie cutter, formulaic trash.

The implication is that the corporation should be viewed as separate from those that work for it. Here is the problem, the corporation and the employees have one and the same viewpoint or they don't work for that corporation for long. Here it is, put out for all to see, that is the case. We already know the RIAA is one of the most hated entities on the face of the earth. Due to the nature of their methods and its similar nature that IFPI uses, paints them with the same brush in the publics' eyes. Neither are fit for public company among those that have moral standing. Certainly all of these handful of acronyms try to take the high moral road in their dealings and each comes out looking like the scum of the earth would have higher moral standing when viewed with what is attempted. Here again it is demonstrated just what the mindset is. No wonder the public has such low views of the music cartels and their various lapdogs.

The account has been suspended. What a surprise.

Key points ….

” I am not concerned that people decide to take out law-suits against our organisations; we have the resources to deal with that. ”

Translation ….
We have enough money to withstand any legalities against us,
no matter how valid those complaints are.

“It might not be nice to be sued by the RIAA and potentially put in a position of being made bankrupt ”

Translation ….
Regardless of merit, we will use the law as a ‘club’, to beat you
into bankruptcy, because we can.
We have resources, you have the truth .. Honestly, which do
you REALLY think will win out ?

…

This sounds like a very credible threat, to use the law as a weapon
( RICO .. ‘Color of Law’ ) .. and now the account is suspended.
Remember this IFPI persons name well. For future reference.
