I am perpetually astounded that the RIAA/MPAA simply can’t wipe the shite from their glasses to see that they’ve lost this war. There’s really no other way to put it, is there? They’ve lost this war and their constant struggle against piracy is as useful as throwing a dixie cup full of water into a forest fire. Their cause is useless and I continue to sit in open-mouthed astonishment that they refuse to see this.

The world would be a much better place if they would just tuck their tails between their legs where they belong and simply

Move. On.

What a bunch of fucking morons, all of them. RIAA/MPAA still haven’t figured out a way to do business on Internet-1 and now they’re part of the visionary team for Internet-2. Is this world in trouble or what?

Well, there goes the neighborhood! Once those types move in, you know what happens next. Yeah, they’ll be making all sorts of loud noise with their CDs and Soundtracks in Dolby surround sound. They’ll be peeking in the windows trying to see what kind of stuff you got. Then they’ll start having their ‘friends’ over. You know, the real scum, those lawyers. Once they find a place to slap on the ol’ feedbag, you’ll never get rid of them. They’ll be running around in their fancy suits and $650 shoes slapping anyone who glances at them with a lawsuit. Then they’ll get their wiseguys to start making ’settlement offers.’

Well, I ain’t waiting for that to happen. I’m packing up all of my gear and heading to a place a buddy told me about called ‘Darknet’. A place where nobody knows you name and you can make your mark without having to put up with a bunch of hypocritcal BS from a bunch of liars.

What a pack of lies! The RIAA and MPAA has already had over a decade to develop internet applications and product delivery methods, yet did absolutely nothing - except when it came to developing technology to use the internet as a weapon against their own customers.

The RIAA and MPAA will be about as welcome as the state police at a rave. It should be obvious that there’s only one reason why the MPAA and RIAA want to get into Internet2 - to try to prevent it from ever becoming a major file sharing community. They will no doubt achieve this by continuing their scorched-earth mass-lawsuit strategy, as well as attempting to turn I2 into the digital equivalent of a police state - while appointing themselves as chief.

What’s next? Will the cartel’s hired-gun assassins such as BayTSP, MediaDefender, and MediaSentry be next in line to be admitted to I2?

No disrespects to corporations, but the virtual majority of P2P innovation and technology have been created by individuals and independent groups of people who love to share. The “corporate interests” are there to PREVENT us from sharing, so any project that they stick their nose into is bound to become crippled…. much like DRM.

Fortunately, there are several independent projects being developed (often secretely)…. If you CAN CODE then help them out. If you are not a programmer, you can write documentation and spread the word. The more people who know about (and how to use them) the myriad of P2P tools out there, the better. Let’s each of us do our part.

The unfortunate thing is that the RIAA and MPAA are the real thieves- suing mothers and children. Where does the suit money go? The artists have yet to see a dime of it. Now tell me who the real thief is? Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. The movie and music industry must have found profit by reversing the notion.
I hope that the academics out there who are working on the I2 project do not give in to demands of the industry. It was once said by one of the engineers of the project that Internet 2 was being designed to be truly anonymous, the original intent of the current internet. I’m afraid that the music & movie industry are trying to recap the bottle in a manner to how Microsoft will be limiting the user’s rights to their own material with windows Vista.
Thank you for providing the public with a more in-depth look as to what is really going on…the author of this article did an outstanding job!
