I don’t download with a P2P because all I can find is MP3 files. Not something you want in a quit room. Also the music I seek is not available for sale, or most of it is not. Try to find something like “Elizabeth R – Theme and Incidental Music and song The Early Music Consort of London – David Munrow, dir.” or “Instruments of Middle Ages and Renaissance The Early Music Consort – David Munrow, dir.” David Munrow produced more that 50 LPs during his lifetime and only a hand full is available now. There is a CD sold only in Japan and not available in the US. There are lots of examples of music that is no longer found anywhere. So how does one get it? Simple you have contacts in the various place that it is available and use FTP to download it as WAV files. You set up passwords that allow them to view your directories. You also get your music and it is of high quality.

The real problem is copyrights and patents. Both need to be abolished. Eventually that will happen once it gets to the point that you can’t do anything without encroaching on the IP of someone else (most likely it will be huge corporations with the largest portfolios). Some will say this is already upon us.

Software patents are a mess. You have companies like microsoft, creative et alii registering patents covering the most basic and natural of concepts. In doing so, innovation non solum stifled sed etiam advancement restricted.

The prosecutors will never survive a bullet to the head.

How long until somebody they ruin, or a relative of somebody they ruin, or just somebody SYMPATHETIC tot he people they ruin, is going to take it upon themselves to start a “consumer revolution” with a hunting rifle?

And what happens AFTERWARD? We already have a fascist government that is trying to retroactively immunize OBVIOUSLY illegal acts by corporations, despite the Constitution SPECIFICALLY FORBIDDING RETROACTIVE LAWS. The cited reason? “National Security”…yeah right, more like “populace control and fat kickbacks”. Every day it is getting more and more obvious that actions against the corporations that effectively rule America IS action against the GOVERNMENT of America…and is necessary if you don’t want your children paying a Breath Tax collected by Haliburton (or the like).

But what happens AFTER the violence starts? WHERE will it STOP? What will America LOOK LIKE when it finally does?

And now you know what keeps me up all night, in fear of sleeping.

Lets face it. The real logic behind these policies is to(gain control) make everybody so scared that they will act(like sheep) as unpaid cops, jealously guarding their cds and computers lest some evil friend get them in trouble. They would like to foster a paranoid world (with their goverment whores) where nobody ever lends a cd, never lets anybody sit down at (your controlled) their computer, never does even legal stuff outa fear (of the fixed legal system) that they will get beat up. And as you point out, its not gonna work. If the mighty US Govt cant stop drug dealing,( they want, justifies fat budgets )) the mighty State Police cant stop speeding or make ya wear a frigginâ seat belt,(these are revenue makers) what chance do these guys have. But they canât back down now(Why should they,the deck is stacked in their favor). Not if they value their jobs. And so it goesâ¦..

The American Flag should be flown upside down in ever state just to remind the goverment that the constitution starts, WE THE PEOPLE, not we the off shore corporations with money to stuff in your pockets. Uncle Sam is quickly becoming the chief of a police state and only when then people wake up and quit putting the same people back in office ever time, it’s not going to change.
