Re: Verizon to tip off John & Jane Doe? Is it just me or is the RIAA tip toeing around paying our elected officials to pass bull$hit laws? Yes, this info is all through the tech sector but you hear NOTHING or next to nothing about it on the news.
PA reps. here don't even give a $hit, many people as well as myself only get automated letters back. Well guys, for all the automated toilet paper your sending out to YOUR voters, I'm one person that won't be on your "voter" list come election time.

| It's my opinion that they are simply buying enough politicians to get the laws they want. (Why argue the point in public/news when a a couple hundred million in campaign contributions will do the job)
They aren't even bothering to "tip toe" around because the US news media doesn't understand the issues, so the media won't report on anything they don't think will add to their ratings.
Remember the ad campaign "Buy drugs, support a terrorist"??
Time for a new one. "Buy a CD from these labels / groups, and support the RIAA" (A terrorist organization IMNSHO, maybe even the new "Axis of Evil")
The RIAA's actions show them to specialize in using to US legal system to commit terrorist acts. What difference is it to ruin someone's life with a bomb, or a pack of lawyers?? In either case the goal is achieved: Make your political point by ruining someone else's life to scare the general public.
I think the RIAA's actions constitute legal harassment and intimidation. And, unfortunately the chances of finding someone with enough money to fight them is measured with a snowball and a blowtorch.
If the music buying public can wake-up enough to protest, then there is a chance. Otherwise, bend over and take what the RIAA is dishing out. |
