Hate The RIAA?
|
I hadn't visited the site for a while but was glad to have a fresh look at it. The main editorial story provides up-to-date information about the recent copy-prevention tamperings on CDs and is rather spirited as well. So allow me to quote it here... - tg ;)

A very intresting editorial, thanks JS for the link.
And you tooo, TG. :) |
The editorial writer of the above piece wholeheartedly invited the readers to listen to John Perry Barlow's [a former lyricist for the Grateful Dead, later co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation] Cato Institute speech and so do I - it's a damned good speech and kept me captivated for the 30 minutes it lasted. What was it about? Well, many things: about the fundametal nature of information and life; about the ecology of ideas and how it differs from material economies; about Napster, the RIAA and the effects of copyright legislation; about the commercial fencing of our shared cultural heritage by a few media monopolies. Barlow is a brilliant and well-informed speaker with a positive vision of the potential of the Internet. Check this one, it's good. :tu:

Is redbook audio really required by a CD license?

Record labels plan copy-proof CDs in post-Napster age Quote:

Natalie Imbruglia's new album is available in it's entirety from my hard drive via winmx, xolox and morpheus, so i'd say this experiment has been less than successfull...for now.

very interesting and informative thread, all!!!!!
i said it before and jack has just said it again, only this time, the pudding has been "prooven"! i haven't listened to JPB's speech yet, tg, but i will. the quotes u have listed have already got my mind spinning, yet again about the real issues concerning copy-proof cd's and the DMCA. it is almost comical, to just sit back and watch the going's on, knowing full well, that it will all just crumble before the world's eyes. will they ever wake up and realize that they really need to rethink the future, not in stopping this future, but how they are going to incorporate themselves into it? my philosophy has always been, "there is a way to make everyone happy, here!" of course, u know U ALL ROCK! :tu: |
Hiya nanook & thanks for your kind comments! :W:
Here's one more related link well worth checking; Jack had posted it on Zeropaid but I haven't seen anybody posting it here: Why Copyright Laws Hurt Culture Quote:

for those who haven't had the pleasure, the john perry barlow speech at the cato institute that tg mentioned above was excellent and well worth the 18meg d/l or stream. his is a powerfull argument for a free and open internet. :tu: here are the new links: www.boycott-riaa.com/mp3/barlow.mp3 - 64k audio file www.boycott-riaa.com/barlow.m3u - 8kBs stream - js. |

I'm still listening to speech - fascinating. It should be circulated all around, made it more public, having it in written form, whatever... One other thought about boycott RIAA: check out rougues gallery - Know Thy Enemy! there are some interesting thoughts about Hillary Rosen's position in RIAA. edit>. God, this guy is CLEVER. its so exhilirating even to listen to such clarity of thought (I mean there is even some aesthetic pleasure in listening to him besides the content to which I guess all of us agree). |
Thanks JS for the 64k link
Pity about the poor recording quality, it niggled me so much i've cleaned it up a bit, removed the mic thumps and some of the screetchy sound.
It's on share now under John Barlow. Snark.. :W: |
Well done, Snark - may that great speech spread among the file sharers around the globe! :AP: :AP:
- tg ;) |
Wow...just streamed the speech and got to the part where he describes the legal jargon in downloading the e-book Alice In Wonderland that forbids you from reading it out loud...stopped me dead in my tracks.
I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was this bad.... :eek: |
