The only way to put a stop to the RIAA and MPAA collections scam is to hit their members in the pocket book.

Stop buying music of artists who sign on member labels.

With todays technology no artist should be beholding to a record lable. With a web site, some decent software, a paypal account and using the p2p networks as an advertizing medium artists should be able to make a great living off their works freeing themselves from the predatory recording industry.

p2p networks are great ad mediums for several reasons. They’re wide spread and fullly intergratable with nealy a 100 milllion users. That folks is a fabulous market for any artist. Putting snippits in the network with links to their web sites, artists can thrive without the labels.

Now just spread the word and give authors hope.

Is this not a way of paying lip service to the entertainment monopoly while not really wasting too much in the line of needed resources for the work of catching the real criminals?

Shouldn’t the FBI be worrying about avoiding another 9/11 disaster and catching Bin Laden? Is everybody in the Establishment now in the pockets of “Big Music?”

I was raised a Catholic, so we were taught to believe in the holy trinity. But here before your very eyes is the total antithesis – the ‘unholy trinity’. These FBI warnings were pasted in 35mm film cans for years and I don’t think it deterred anyone at any time, especially those people who don’t happen to be residents of the USA. But as part of the ‘feel good’ mentality practised by the xxAA’s, I am sure they can trot out some statistics in 6 months proving how effective these labels are.
