ITS NOT…

There are plenty of good things about it, and even if people use it to get stuff free, its not as bad as they say it is, and a lot of people still buy stuff in the end…

That being said… its still not illegal… there is no law… (let me refrase that)
There is no good law, that I will follow, against filesharring… cause I dont believe in laws made for big music or other big business!

Radio PAYOLA costs RIAA a lot of money. Just in one State, New York, one RIAA member will have to pay $10 million. Calculate that for all RIAA memebers in all places where PAYOLA is paid and the amount would be staggering. I personally guess that radio PAYOLA costs for the music record industry are greater than billion dollars per year.

Then there are other types of PAYOLA. Political PAYOLA: With this money RIAA friendly politicians are financed. Legal PAYOLA: With this money, well connected (to judges) lawyers are fianced. These lawyers also sue the download kids and the related victims.

What is the point? RIAA needs all the money they can get for PAYOLA.

Quote from page – “That’s why we are sending a clear message that downloading or ’sharing’ music from a peer-to-peer network without authorization is illegal, it can have consequences and it undermines the creative future of music itself.”

There’s a lot more i could get from there, but just go to riaa.com and look at anything they’ve got written up. It’s all about “educating about consequences” “vigorously pursuing” etc etc etc. Ok the word terror isn’t used, but the intention is obvious.

From this website itself there’s this one.

Quote from page – entire last paragraph. “Without the benefit of a script in hand, it seems that Cary Sherman let slip an important detail that his organization would normally rather not reveal: the RIAA’s mass-lawsuit campaign is largely an overblown intimidation tactic designed to scare p2p users with their press-grabbing announcements of huge numbers of lawsuits, but in reality, the majority of these lawsuits might likely never result in any kind of expensive payout.”

“designed to scare…” Well what else is a campaign designed to scare, than a campaign of terror? What’s the difference? Noone’s being blown up by suicide bombers? Yes but the end result is the same.

They want to frighten everyone into doing what they want.

In fact i pity anyone living in the US. Why? Because i’m sure a lot of other organisations and industries would be watching the RIAA/MPAA campaigns with interest. After all, if it works, they’ll start doing exactly the same kind of thing.

“We’ve obtained your credit card records and noticed that you’ve been shopping at our competitors, thus depriving us of income. We’re suing you for what we’ve estimated is the money you’ve cost us over the relevant time period. Or you could settle for only…”

Sound ridiculous and far fetched? The riaa and mpaa are industry lobby groups. They have no legal authority. They’re suing because in the US you can apparently sue anyone for doing or not doing anything you like. So a large chain store could easily threaten to sue you for shopping at their competitors for example.

The federal government fears them, which is why they play out mock terror attacks with home schoolers being the “terrorists”. It’s sick and it too is brainwashing.

People need to wake up! Get your kids out of public school!

And if you anyone else something similar, I’d love to see a copy and I’d also really like to know how, when and where it turned up.

Cheers!

Trust me, the world will be a MUCH better place without the RIAA!

thanks.

Because the instigators of this campaign are carefully ensuring their bribes to those authorities are up to date?

What gives? I mean their mouthpieces have admitted that it’s a campaign of terror aimed at US and recently UK citizens! Why isn’t something being done?

This says a lot right there. I find it hard to believe that those with money and high influence haven’t been targeted. very interesting.

And it works.

Educationally, she’s way ahead of where she’d be if she was in a classroom. But equally important, she’s acquiring the ability to see through corporate bullshit, a skill they don’t teach at school.

Cheers!

Am I saying teachers and counselors are bad people? NO WAY, I’m not saying any such thing!!! Most of these people are themselves deceived into actually believing this cartel crap. The ones who are not are forced to teach this propaganda in order to keep their jobs. The wise teachers will in many cases try to insert a differing opinion or two into the propaganda that is being preached in the hopes that some kids will think for themselves.

The P.S.A. is rapidly becoming like the D.D.R. or even further in the past, Nazi Germany. It is coming to the day (and it has already happened many times) where kids will be expected to inform on their parents when they observe their parents doing something that is against the party line. Kids may not be able to read and write, but they can sure tell you, “Downloading Music is bad.” They can also tell you how to install a condom and that you cannot spank them or they will call abuse. Yep, public shcools are a bad idea given the direction the government is headed.

If the Christian Coalition had an actual sense of decency or moral compass, they would grow a backbone and get behind the filesharers. If everyone shared instead of buying, this media cartel would go bankrupt, and quit producing much of the filth that is put in the minds of the people today.

Look at the C.A.F.T.A. the so called “free trade agreement” that the Bush regime is trying to get passed. Not only will this agreement destroy many American jobs and enslave foreign workers, it will also take away vitamines and herbal remedies from people. This is just one small example of the cartels bullying people all over the world. It may look hopeless, but people all over the world are getting fed up with corporate misconduct. Chinese farmers recently used force to shut down a pharmaceutical manufacturer because the factory polluted their irrigation canals and government officials were stealing land from these farmers so that it could be used by the drug company.

These multinational cartels are the same ones that are stirring up Islamic fundamentalists to go after the countries where they are based. I dislike the fact that most of the people hurt or killed in these types of attacks are innocent people who are just trying to make a living, but what choice do many of these people have? A chance to choose between the “least corrupt” official at the polls? A chance for a fair hearing in a courtroom (fat chance in that happening)? The judge or “jury” almost always rules in favor of the most powerful. Violence is the only representation most people in the world have. I hate to say it, but it is the truth.

I for one encourage people to not listen to the media cartel’s product. I encourage people to enjoy independent media. If people must use cartel produced crap, then they should download it rather than buy it, rent it, or go to the movies. Since this nonsense started, I have not been to the movies or bought a CD . I do admit that I rented a couple of movies, but I ripped these DVD’s and posted an ISO of them on the local FreeWan. I want to see these cartels utterly destroyed.
These cartels have done more to destroy American culture than most anything else. I am glad to see their sales decline (if in fact they are).
