Sure, and speaking of stolen goods…..

As a songwriter heir who and righs holder of copyrights that has never (I swear this is true) been paid any royalries (not a single cent, and the music is very good indeed), why should I care or object if the hundreds pirate recordings (about one half by RIAA member record companies) are moving over the Internet?

Why should RIAA pirates objet to the sharing of their songs if they, along with the music publishers, are themselves the major pirates and royalty thieves?

Corporations are the enemies. To save our democracies we have to detroy most corporations , starting with the most outrageous.

Target number one: Vivendi/Universal.

Once it is destroy we will focus on target number two.

The issue, moreover, is not of significance only to the parties to this action. It has been raised
in many other cases around the country. “The Massachusetts State police have banned the company,
it’s been accused of operating without a licence in Oregon, Florida, Texas and New York, and
similar charges have been levelled at it in Michigan.” MediaSentry: have you checked your state?,
at http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15391 (last visited March 26, 2008). A judicial declaration in this
state would have significant impact not only on this case but many others.

Keep up the fight for the quiet millions like me.

Anyway, I wonder if people can claim that deep packet inspection is a form of wiretapping? Hmmm… Might not fly, but might be fun to try.

Umm… Can anyone tell me a way to use a company’s network without paying for it? Cause by the way the MAFIAA makes it sound, there are millions of people hacking their internet connection and receiving free internet.

Canadian ISPs have already found out that doing this network filtering is costing them a bundle. Comcast has in it’s wisdom decided it better return to the old ways of letting through bit torrent or legislation is going to make them do it. With businesses discovering that the reduction in costs is well worth the use of torrents to spread their apps and reduce their costs, the filtering is coming into direct problems with other businesses besides that of what the MPAA and RIAA want done.

I have yet to hear something on the lines of returning fair use laws to their past stature from the megacorporations. They push their agendas which none of the public wants. That they are not putting up with it as customers is why the music labels have been forced to removed DRM. Movies time is limited before they too will have to face the idea that DRM is an expensive solution that isn’t working, won’t work, and isn’t worth the trouble. Improving the quality, the customer experience, and providing what can not be gotten elsewhere is the only key to their survival in the long term. If they can’t do that, protectionism will not help them to stay afloat.
