RIAA's scare tactics in practice
Daily Texan has an interesting story giving a detailed account on how RIAA persuades people to settle their copyright infringement cases out of court.

Why should any of the money go to the already rich artists. Nausiating the way you act like Britney or any of the music and movie celebrities are hurting for cash and the RIAA keeps them chained up in dungeons until they're needed to perform. P2p's big claim is that stealing doesn't hurt the Artsits or the RIAA. So if the RIAA does recover money from winning lawsuits against people that stole their property, how do you figure the Artists deserve, much less need any of the money that the RIAA has PAID big bucks to retrieve? You show me a Starving Artist that isn't starving do to his/her own wasteful spending, alcohol/drug abuse, and greed on their very own part. According to VH1's "It's great to be Britney Spears", Miss Britney buys her thong panties 40 pair at a time from Victorias Secret in EVERY color of course. She recently spent a few weeks in a posh Aspen Hotel Penthouse suite at $12,000 per night. Please do tell why you feel the artists deserve more excess than they already enjoy, take for granted, and thorougly waste on trivial infantile egotistical just because I can bullshit like $12,000 dollar per night hotel suites that can never be justified in any way for costing that much. |

p2p could eventualy kill off parasites like the RIAA over the course of a few decades.. bands and artists might still have mangers by then..but they wont have a need for the big music advertising machine that controls what we get to listen to..RIAA and all the other corporate scum that use artists to get their paychecks and their families will all live rich fat and happy for years to come on what they have already sucked up... the same shit that gets promoted by them over and over by them... the big stars with the big bucks that only got rich because they were being marketed in large volumes by a greedy industry to every MTV type music show in existance. they have their clear channel buying up every radio station..so they can control what gets airplay wich dictates the 'top 40' wich in turn has controlled wich artists stay in the rotation... not just p2p but the internet in general will changed this fucked up scenario...it has been long overdue..but still could take decades to happen there are plenty of starving artists ,sound engineers ,audio-visual technicians..ect that if the imbalance of how only certain already rich ones get any exposure continues and crap like DRM and copyrights and DMCA are imposed on consumers and creators ,in the future wont have the basic tools and material they have had for the last few thousand years to create with.... the only real hope is for them to have any of their work out there for people to listen to is to give it away take the chance on the lawsuits by mixing up already known stuff what ever... ..i think most of us can only hope the RIAA as we know it dies a slow and agonising death |
