I have already WRITTEN my congressman AND senator (not email, an actual typed letter) I never even received a form letter response. The ONLY way to change this situation is to change the media and public opinion. Most people are completely unaware of what the RIAA is actually doing or how. It not just the tornado of bullshit coming from the RIAA suits, but it is the money going into congress and a legislature and administration that is more than willing to oblige. Did you know that the RIAA had tried to slip language into the Homeland Securtity Bill and The Patriot Act? (both bills curtail freedoms anyway and wipe their A$$ with the Bill of Rights) People in America WAKE THE HELL UP and vote these Nazis out of fucking office. The reason the RIAA is pissed at file sharing is less about money, and more to do with a LOSS OF CONTROL. Bush has already taken care of their money woes with this goofy-ass tax cut. And the RIAA clamping down of file-sharing has inadvertantly given rise to CHILD PORNO and TERRORISTS using the internet. Isnt that why we went into Iraq (or could it be all the OIL???)

I sent a letter
. I was kinda leary about using my name, but then I though WTF! Its not likely someone will actually READ it. On the offchance they do, then it in no way admits guilt. I also checked and there is more than one person living in my state with my first and last name so they would have to hunt down each of us to get to ME hehehe. Im rather fond of my solution, \below/ maby someday... s0me0ne simply has to find the right lead......

I think the MPAA is rediculous for sewing people. File sharing is just like buying a CD and letting your friends listen to it. You have to buy the CD to put the song on KaZaA.

By what definition if you don't mind me asking? Also do you truly believe rightfully so? Are you a criminal when you tape the Simpsons? Are you a criminal when you let your friend borrow a DVD? Are you a criminal if you own an ugly horse? Lots of Crime with no Time. |

i sent my letter and sent emails to three other people asking them to help. REALITY's right, if a lot of people do this then it WILL make a difference, otherwise we are all wasting our time. Get the word out. Senators and such have to listen to our opinions. Thats the way we do things in america. We are also punished for listening to music in america. When someone loses a dollar it's hell to pay.
The number one music artist and most popular at the moment doesn't care if people downloads his music off of the internet. 50 Cent. "I dont care how people get my music, as long as it gets to them and they love it." Thats what we got to convince other artists off and the music industry. Thats someone who cares about music more than money. Artists like Fred Durst thinks p2p is a way of free advertising and he supports it. Even though some people don't like these artists music, most would like their opinions. We need to get the word out that what the recording industry is doing is WRONG. We can't do that just by sitting on our ass and doing nothing. Even if you don't believe this will work.. do it for the rest of the p2p community. |

Recording any program "off-air" is legal if it is for your own personal use. It isn't always possible to be at home when a favourite program or movie is shown so the law allows "Time-shift" recording.
Yes, you are a criminal if you lend a film; in any format; to a friend. The licence agreement you accept when you buy the movie states clearly, "For private home use only". There is no such thing as an ugly horse! Or did you mean arse? |
