Not only are they are they losing it in public opinion, in increased customers, but now they are starting to face the grass roots begining to be come aware of the situtation.

In an effort to control the world opinion and lower it to local levels where the scrutinty isn’t so intense, they have stated that they will start working on the sue’em all at local level. I feel this too will backfire in the long run. People are far more “protective and understanding” of those they know attacked from outsiders than they are of someone they don’t know a geographical area away. To me this looks like another brick in the wall so to say against the major labels. Hiding behind the RIAA as a lighning rod for public opinon isn’t going to help them at all.

As more people become aware of the limitations of DRM that is included in almost everything they sell, less and less want it. Now I don’t know about the patents end but I do know that the copyright limitations are all out of hand. Granting lifetime plus copyrights doesn’t do anything for originators continuing to create. Looks instead as if it encourages someone to create and then rest on their laurels for the rest of their and part of their kins’ lives.

That’s not what copyrights were intended to do. It is most obvious that we the public need to throw out the villians that now rest within the legislature body and put some one else in that doesn’t have a vested interest in the slop trough. Again this may be the start of something that makes every politican not want to be associated with incumbents. It wasn’t that long ago that being associated with Washington was a death knell to politcal aspirations. It looked like rats deserting a sinking ship with politicans trying to disassociate themselves with standing powers. This may well come to be again.

Those that survived were just better at hiding it. We didn’t get a clean house and until the body at large tells those fat cats the end is neigh, it will continue. I encourage each and every one of you when it comes time to vote, to vote neither Dem or Rep. Remove from power those with the vested interest of keeping things the way they are now.
