The RIAA believes that all of us are pirates. To them, there is no such thing as Fair Use. They also think that everyone owes them a living. They want us all to be their slaves. We cannot be their slaves because most of us are slaves to the U.S. Government. So now, they want to take over the government.

To them I say: take a number and stand in line. There are a whole lot of plutocrats running this country, and they aren’t going to step aside from a bunch of whiny “Culture Warriors”. It’s hard enough keeping Bill O’Reilly in check. Anyway, the problem is that the Mass Media Cartels want to own culture (or American Culture, at least). There’s a bit of hubris there, I think.

Our only choice if Free Culture: we need to dominate the space by promoting user-generated content. This is the message of “Steal this Film, Part II”. We need to stop our consumer culture, and start producing our own. The cartels will end when they have been effectively silenced, abolished, and ignored. The Internet is the medium which allows us to tell our own story, create our own culture. This is why the cartels fear us. We are the masters of this new realm. They’ll do anything to control it, because ultimately cartels and oligarchies are all about control.

They have to realize that, on the Internet, nobody is in control. There is no man behind the curtain, because there is no great and powerful Oz, only a protocol stack. What’s funny is, they could have made another mint by now if they had just embraced network effects and fired all their lawyers. Lost opportunities, wasted years, all because they couldn’t see the genius behind the Diamond Rio PMP3.

Oh YA? I am doing this days and night 24 Hour a day just to bother the RIAA! I have a box specially dedicated for that on all the major p2p network. But I recognize the right for the music parasites to die and to go BK.

Let’s taze all of them with our new Tazer/MP3 device!
