They are all lawyers. So “threats, government sanctioned extortion and legal blackmail” are the way they do it. And they laugh at being “demonised and vilified”.They don’t need other jobs, sadly.

Working at the RIAA is now a dangerous job and if I was them I would quit right now. Beside I wonder what’s hapen when employers read on your resume that you worked for this organization of dirty pigs and parasites.Who want you on their teams? Think about it!

âWe no longer believe threats, government sanctioned extortion and legal blackmail are the way to go to persuade American music lovers to abandon their criminal ways.â

Criminals yourself parasites!

The SPCA bit was a tipoff that it was a spoof, but
it had me for a moment or two.

I skimmed over it the first time and didn’t pay
much attention to Nabbem, Grabbem & Runn.

Wonder if they’re related to Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe?

I get my share of hate-mail, always anonymous, and to one writer whose no-name missive I received last night, I wrote the piece above, because I was thinking âWhat if?â

The people at the RIAA, and all the other entertainment cartel hit organisations, are intelligent and well trained. Presumably, itâd be easy for them to find equally well paid work in other sectors.

âWhat if?â – I was asking myself. âWhat if they all became so disgusted with what they were doing, realising the irreparable harm theyâre causing innocent families, that they all walked off the job?â

Cheers!

I knew it was a spoof about halfway through. The lack of links was a subconscience notifier along with the things you blog about. At least you are keeping the readers thinking critically…

while I don’t know what SPCA is, I spotted that it was one of Jon’s “could it be?”-posts at the name of the headhunters

“Corporate headhunters Nabbem, Grabbem & Runn have been hired to search out executives to fill the vacuum left by the exodus.”

A carrot would do a better job of running the music industry.

I’m disappointed that it’s a spoof.

damn, fooled me.

Yup. It’s a spoof. I thought there were plenty of clues but, as has been observed many times before, when it comes to the Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG organised music cartel, nothing is too outrageous to be true.

Cheers!

Wow!

This obviously is another p2pnet satire post. But it would be nice if it were true
