Re: Hollow Victory said by Mchart:America was founded on people stealing goods from the British empire. America truly was founded on piracy. Debate all you want - But thats just the way it is. So for a person with an American flag as their avatar to support the RIAA goes against logic. The RIAA is literally stealing money from the people who diserve it because said people created said product. Yet since the RIAA controls all venue's said people get 'taxed'. Sound familiar? It should. Whoa. There's a big difference between our founding fathers fighting against Britain for their independence, and the RIAA. The mere fact that you even attempt to compare them just shows that you have no case and no basis and are just grasping for straws.
I never said that I agree with the RIAA. But this logic that the RIAA = evil, therefore stealing = right just baffles me. |

Gurnee, IL | You should re-read what I posted, and attempt to use logic. The RIAA is very much so just like British empire was back in the day. Instead of stealing natural resources and labor by taxation, they are stealing an artists creation and labor by use of almost literal taxation. |

The more you steal, the more you prove the **AA's point that more laws need to be created.
Justification that stealing is okay because you disagree with the **AA is just a cop out. But you keep believing that.
I'm sure our founding fathers would agree with you. |

Gurnee, IL | They would agree with me. Not only did they not pay their taxes to the American colonies government, but they stole and desecrated product from Britain to.
Just because I support pirating music doesn't mean I support pirating other material. But pirating music is a means to the greater end in terms of bringing down the RIAA. Certain bands and artists allready realize this. Thats why I bought the latest nine inch nail's album. |
