RIAA Music Rules – ’steaming pile of poo’
p2pnet news view Kids & Kartels | RIAA News:- “First, if it’s being used in schools, it’s indoctrination, not propaganda.”
I stand corrected.
That’s Biff ‘Death of a Salesman’ Loman in a Reader’s Write to my story to my New RIAA child mind-rape package story.
In it, “You’ve heard of kiddie porn?” – I ask, going on »»»
It’s something Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony BMG’s RIAA regularly dredges up so its bought-and-paid for politicians can raise it as an excuse to introduce corporate-friendly legislation.
But kiddie mind-rape is another favourite tool.
The RIAA and RIAA adherents scam teachers into believing intellectual property law is something every child needs to know. Then they use the teachers to plant ‘educational’ materials in schools.
The latest piece of RIAA bilge is called Music Rules with “Lessons respect intellectual property and responsible use of the Internet”.
The idea of the RIAA, of all corporate bodies, promoting ideas of respect and responsibility, and especially to schoolchildren, is somewhat like a paedophile being let loose in classrooms to promote safe sex.
And yet you can be sure you’ll see this promoted in the mainstream media and actually used by teachers.
Thank God we homeschool our daughter.
Excellent, and highly constructive, idea
Asks Biff in his comment post, “there any evidence that /any/ teachers have ever used this in their classroom? If so they should be exposed and thrown out of the profession.”
No kidding (pun intended).
Then he comes up with an excellent, and highly constructive, idea, namely »»»
- … [this] could be used as a research tool.
- Lesson plan: read ‘Music Rules’ with students. Discuss.
- Have students pick out areas of bias and misinformation. Allow students to use the web to research and create a short report opinions opposed to those of ‘Music Rules.’
- The curriculum of many humanities classes have something about detecting bias. This could be used as an introduction activity since it is so transparent.
“Personally,” Biff adds, “I would never use this steaming pile of poo in my classroom.”

It’s likely going to be a matter of a couple different factors in this whole battle.
1. the atitudes of the parents, whos kids get stuck reading this shit.
2. the INTELIGENCE of the parents of same kids.
3. the inteligence of the kids who have to put up with this shit in school.
If your a RIASS believing cow, you deserve to have your kids brainwashed by this BS!!
If you know better…….well, you know better, and so do your kids!

The only “music rule” of the RIAA, is that every few years they buy themselves another copy”right” extension.
Also, not to take offense to what Biff said (this IS very slimy of the RIAA), but if he really believes that kids/teens actually BELIEVE what their “taught” in school, he’s sorely mistaken.
1. “Abstinence-only” sex ed utterly fails
2. The entire “Just say no” blather utterly failed
3. Every so often, some disgruntled teenagers bring weapons/explosives into their local indoctrination-mill, and try to burn the place down.
If anything, the “music rules” bullshit will just create ANOTHER avenue for youthful rebellion — which, to my way of thinking — is a good thing.

I am again amazed to the core at what corporations will do to protect their income streams. Now I have no way of knowing if this is true or not, the gist of the article. There is enough smoke that there has to be a fire somewhere, so I’ll take it on faith that it probably has at least a core of truth to it. Especially when considering the public actions already known that the major labels pull.
What is for certain, is that it takes a long time to get the public ire going. When it goes far enough, the public will respond with a grass roots movement that gains steam on it’s own, like a roller coaster. When that happens, for the generation, it isn’t forgotten and many will remember it all their life and live their lives with the influence and insight it has given them, be that good or bad.
To my estimation, the major labels, the movie houses, and many other copyright defenders are beginning to approach this trip line. Maybe it’s just me as an early adopter in many things that feels this. I am reassured time and again, that some belief or action I do is adopted by others for their own reasons independently. That later I run into the same conclusions and the same responses by others to something that has already been settled in my mind as my path of reaction.
So too do I believe the day is coming for these of the copyright enforcers to be painted with a tarred brush of ill opinion by the public. If and when that happens, those self interested groups laws they have had changed for their benefit won’t help them at all. People will at that point refuse to have anything to do with the products by those companies.
Now maybe you believe this speculation to be all self bloated pumping of the ego on my part. That’s ok if you do, that’s your opinion on the matter. Just as I have mine, I am sure you have your own. Still time and again I’ve seen some evidence that leads me to my beliefs.
I look today at the statements of markets where games have taken over the public’s fancy for entertainment. I look at the games houses claiming their doing great in these days of bad economy while everyone around them is claiming the opposite. While games may indeed support the music industry by licensing a particular tune for the background on their game, it’s far less in volume than the market would be for wholesale music in all it’s various forms and styles.
The day comes…

Maybe the schools should be teaching kids that politicians should not steal, molest pages, ask for earmarks, but honor the constitution, and not use the court system (the third branch of government) to harass people.

This steaming pile of poo will never fly for these Big Media pricks and here’s why:
- It will never make it to the classroom in the first place
- If it somehow did, a few little kids will get brainwashed and become good corporate zombies when they grow up and perhaps work as RIAA lawyers or something (assuming the RIAA is still around of course).
However, the vast majority will learn about this whole corrupt mess from an early age, realize what’s going on and completely rebel against Big Media and want nothing to do with them and their poxy ‘products’. Ever.
Big Media own goal if ever I saw one.
