Hi Everyone!!!!!

Im announcing a boycott pertaining to the RIAA and their associated bodies based upon the news on music file swappers being sued by the music industry. Since the music industry is bold in suing, I can only think what next in this major invasion of privacy and rights??

Heres some facts to consider:

Informa Media Group forecasts that the value of global music sales will reach an estimated $45 billion by 2006! Which region is set to take the lion-share of the profits and how will online music impact the industry?
The Global Music Industry provides more than 300 pages of detailed analysis on the international music industry, assessing it current position and the possibilities for future growth. The report includes forecasts for all of the world's leading markets based on full year 2000 figures.

It doesn't sound like file swapping is doing too much damage, does it? People must still be buying those cd's, t-shirts, cassettes, concert tickets, etc.
A group online is calling for a nationwide boycott pertaining to music for one week. Starting September 21-27, 2003.
If they lost sales for 1 week it would cost them close to $865,384,615.00!
This would be a larger amount than all of their frivioulous lawsuits could ever regain. Sounds like some executives are getting greedy to me. Think about it, you can live without buying a cd or cassette for 1 week, right? I know many people who "file share" but I also know many people who do it just to preview the song before they buy a cd. Well, it's everyone's choice whether to join this group & boycott or not.
Remember the date is: September 21-27, 2003
Thanks!

As many of us as there are it seems clear how much power we have if brought together, I have realized many of us think the folks next door don't file share, that we are the only one on the block. We keep quiet about our P2P use.

Although I am starting to see after openly talking about P2P that almost everyone suddenly says "oh yea, I use KaZaa too" (KMD version unfortunately), even the folks I talk to at my ISP. Though we have been labeled criminals for loving music. This is now officially out of hand, with lists of usernames to be sued http://www.techtv.com/news/culture/story/0...3484600,00.html.

If YOU care about any of this, then READ the following 3 items

There ARE other ways for the artist to get PAID

There ARE simple legal solutions

EFF Update

Dear EFF Supporter:

This is astounding - in the first 24 hours, over 6,000 people have signed
our petition to stop the Recording Industry Association of America's (RIAA)
nationwide rampage against average Americans.  Rather than working to
create a rational, legal means by which its customers can take advantage of
file-sharing technology and pay a fair price for the music they love, it
has chosen to sue people like Brianna LaHara, a 12 year-old girl living in
New York City public housing.  Take a stand against the RIAA's tactics by
signing our petition:

http://www.eff.org/share/petition/

Brianna, and hundreds of other music fans like her, are being forced to pay
thousands of dollars they do not have to settle RIAA-member lawsuits --
supporting a business model that is anything but rational. This crusade is
generating thousands of subpoenas and hundreds of lawsuits, but not a
single penny for the artists that the RIAA claims to protect.

Copyright law shouldn't make criminals out of 60 million Americans, and
it's time for a change.  Congress is going to hold hearings; we need your
help to make sure that the public's voice is heard.  Tell Congress that
it's time to stop the madness:

http://www.eff.org/share/petition/

We'll deliver the petition to Congress once we've hit 10,000 signatures.
This is a grassroots campaign - please take the time to tell your friends
and family about this issue. Thanks for support!

Just In case You Missed It...

I have no idea what your point is, other than to give in and bend over.

There is an amnesty form but you must do the following....
1. Delete your filsharing soft and all MP3s
2. Sign form saying you'll never do it again...
3. Get it notarized
4. Mail it to them.....

Tips for filesharing....if you dare to do it....
Don't share with others....here take and not give....for the giving part Clearly steps into that little place called...Completely Illegal.....
You are riskin it on your own....laws change...be careful.....

just disable others to download from you....

I sent my letter in. I Also thought it would be nice to support EFF with a small donation. Wish it could of been more but they tell me everything counts towards the goal.
