A message from the RIAA
p2pnet view P2P | RIAA:- It isn’t often I get a chance to say Thank You for something in p2pnet.net.
But this is one of those all too rare occasions.
I’d like to personally thank Monkey D. Luffy for reminding us, in a p2pnet Reader’s Write yesterday, of something none of us thinks about enough.
Here’s what Mr Luffy said:
“Every time you steal from the great deity Steve Jobs or the RIAA, a kitten dies …”
Sooooooo true. And so sad.
Certainly, this tragic reality is ignored every hour of every day by the the hundreds of millions of file sharing criminals and thieves who blight the honest record labels and artists as they try to eak out their precarious livings online, beset on all sides by men and women, and even children, who would rob them blind, depriving them of what is rightfuly theirs as they plunder songs lovingly crafted by artists, wrought by their blood, sweat and tears as they ….
I could continue, but this is meant to convey my — Nay, our — message that every time a song is illegally downloaded, not only are contracted corporate employees from all sides thrown onto the streets to fend for themselves —-
—- a little kitten dies
So Save A Kitten Today!
Don’t steal a song!
Thank, you Mr Luffy.

Nice sense of humour. I highly doubt Bainwol would actually write to P2PNet or anything sounding like the above. The hint, in case anyone thinks it is legit, is that “wrought by their blood, sweat and tears as they ….” is stopped by the ellipsis, the real Mitch Bainwol would continue on and one, as it has been rehearsed and is now an automatic response.

Interesting message, but he remains a dick for killing cute kittens. Someone should warn PETA over this “message”, seriously…

@ Robert.
What !? Are you suggesting Mitch didn’t write the above letter? Shame on you!
Cheers!

Pretty soon, we’re going to expect him or some other RIAA PR droid to
come along and deny this.
After all, it is a pattern seen before here (I’m thinking Suncomm and their
DRM that blasts audio in the listener’s ears if an unauthorized song is detected.)
(Jeff is referring to a spoof which had Sunncomm issuing an international denial.

This bitch of Mitch is stupid enough to write some stuff like that.
You remember the web site with the kill artist game?
We had a lot of fun with it.
