This is stupid. Now you don’t even need to be in someone else’s country to be subject to someone else’s laws.

It is sad to see another site bite the dirt. Somewhere this insanity has lead to even sheet music, where one makes their own music, not listening to recorded music mind you, is even under the outrageous copyright limits. Limits that do nothing for helping create but rather hold it back, ensuring that a new generation will not learn how to play without giving their pound of flesh to the corporations.

While employees within a corporation might be human, the corporation itself which is responcible for the action has no soul and suffers not the pains of human existance. I see the actions of such corporations as being representive of it’s employees. It is by the employess suggestions and actions that these sort of instanities come about. So while there may be a pleading to treat the employees as someone, I see them as a faceless represention of all that is wrong with corporate welfare.

So yes, you deserve every bit of the scorn the public will heap upon you for the jobs you do. Don’t like that scorn? Tough luck, find a new job. Other corporations ahead of you have seen to it that this sort of action is felt as an extreme ill will towards both the corporation and its employees.

No I’m not talking here of violence. I’m talking instead of hitting you where it hurts the most, denial of funds and ill will in return that you so richly deserve.

You expect some other country to obey your laws? So what say we go driving by the German hospitals honking horns as they do in India? Germany is well known for wanting quiet around the hospitals isn’t it?

Well you’ve made your target one that can’t fight back and can not change the laws. For that you get all the scorn I can possiblity dish out to you. You are a sign of exactly what is wrong with the world today and you recieve no sympathy from me other than to wish you an early bankrupacy. You will then face the idea of it is job hunting time. Till then, the best of ill will.

Another company trying to make them selfs look good so all consumers don’t start ignoring them. It is still the big money hungry corporations enforcing retarded copy right laws. Sheet music what a joke! Sheet music should have no copyright. People use it to play for their own enjoyment whether the artist is alive or dead. But F^%$ed up corporations like this only want people to enjoy themselves and increase their talent base if they get lots of money so they can get their 4th Mercedes. I hope my daughters guitar instructor paid these greedy a$$ed bastards for the stuff he is teaching her with. I would hate to thing he would be sued for giving a kid enjoyment and a chance to learn how to play guitar. I also hope I never meet any of these people because I would be going to jail for kicking the crap out of them.

In this days of copyright extremism and corruption of our governements and as far as I am concerned if anyone, I mean anyone send me a cease and desist letter they will got what they deserve: bullets!

Not only I will not shut down my site but I will proliferate the stuff that they say is infringing all over the net and elswhere for one thing. Not only that but I will take all the stuff from the party who is complaining and weither their copyrigh is valid or not and I will spread it on line as wildly as I can. I will show them what is copyright infringement!

And if they continue to bother me me and not only me but my friends also will escalate this viciously.

It still doesn’t make sense to me. Why is it the responsibility of the website owner to block access from certain countries? The people in those countries should be responsible for their own actions right? He’s not making them visit the site or break any laws, they do so on their own.

Confusing.

Of course they should remove content from dead composers.

How else are they supposed to protect the rights of the artists?
