At what point are the artists going to stop sniffing glue and realize this is nothing more than a GRAB at cash they will NEVER see?

BMAT: “reinterpretations of copyrighted works on or off the Internet.” So we’ll see more people being sued for using similar chord progressions? Then similar melodies?

The only way back is to revolt! Congress needs to stop sniffing green and wake up! The parodies don’t work. The info videos don’t work. Listening to a techy ramble above you doesn’t work.

Techies writing to their MP’s/Senators don’t work. You need the masses to get involved, to be motivated and empowered to write in and say “stop this shit before it is too late.”

And to those who feel it is too late? It is NEVER too late! You CAN get rid of stupid laws once proven they are useless, baseless, and actually make things worse. “But we’ve already done that” BULLSHIT! If you really proved it to those senators, things would change. You’ve only proven it to yourselves and those who think as you do. You haven’t proven it to those who do not think like you do.

But given all the negative comments and “we’ve already done that” comments when I requested we try to create a new video with a different target audience, applying techniques that work on their minds… I’m sure you’ll just roll over and die or go back to file sharing, because that clearly really sticks it to the man, totally, and no backlash has ever come about, ever, nope, nothing, no stupid laws, no invasion of privacy, no extortion, nothing, they clearly listened to the message that just file sharing sends.

Hate me all you want, but you have to observe what is going on. You complain, you create parodies that work for you, and masses still buy crap, still go to the theatres, still guy to overpriced concerts, and the lobbying continues and the laws and discussed with even more ambiguity than before and out of the public eye, the media is obviously biased because who owns them (corporations trying to ‘protect’ their ‘rights’ to take advantage of you for short term profits)…

Nothing will change until we change our approach. We take one step forward and the $$$ thrown at our cause from industry push us three steps back!

Think about it, have you really changed things for the good? How many are using Creative Commons? If the world was fed up with copyright and greed, why are more laws being created? Sure they shot down the 3strikes in France, but it ain’t over yet! They will stop at nothing, fighting to the death, taking us all down with them.

We have to change our approach! They are running, we’re walking. The barriers they set up are ever increasing. Driving file sharing underground accomplishes what? Exactly what the **AA want, reduction in the amount, and forcing people to comply with their models and rules.
