So on my wanderings through the internet today I came across this picture, which has the front page of Yahoo's news site. Take a look at the picture and tell me what you think.
Isn't that sick? My stance on 'illegal' downloading is that sharing is good for almost everybody. I love music. I have over 4000 songs in my iTunes. I probably paid for maybe 50 of them. In terms of music, I like to support the artists I like by going out to their concerts rather than paying for their CDs. At least then, the band can visibly see my contribution to them, rather than all of my money going to the record labels.
That's another thing....record labels claim they need this money to find new bands, but there is no way that is true in our day and age. If you're talented, upload some songs to Youtube, post it to Facebook or whatever. Your skill will (hopefully) let you rise to the top. Who needs a record label to get your name out there?
Sorry to get a little rant-y on you guys. Thanks for the support, as usual!

If you are going to rant about someone, then the RIAA is a good target.
This is just some bullshit scare tactic because they know they cannot stem the tide of 'sharing.'
Does ANYONE like the RIAA?
erm ok o0
wow, never knew theyre so greedy
nice post dude
yarr. yarr. matey.
it's totally crazy...
Gah that's disgusting. I believe in free everything!
i agree with you 100 percent they need to get with the program. if i buy a cd i am goin to use it any way i care too
They can not ever EVER stop Piracy.
Seriously, it's a snowball that's the size of fucking jupiter, and it just keeps getting bigger.
The fines are WAY too high. I say if someone gets caught and they HAVE to press charges? Then ONLY the amount of what they "stole."
Check Out My Twitter!

They should be ashamed

thanks for the read!
you know what you fucking crying pussies have to do than right? if you want the right to download music and fileshare and do the shit you demand, you gotta strap bombs too yourself and demand it too get your point across
works for the sang niggers, should work for you too
Fucking dicks, they use scare tactics to try and scare other people into stopping downloading by completely ruining peoples lives.
Nice post - keep up the good work! ;)
FUCK THE RIAA
agreed. that kind o harassment should be a criminal case!
agreed!
this is so fuckin' stupid. i hate it. do what you want cause a pirate is free - you are a pirate :D
ya artiest get their money from concerts , Cd sold 85%ish of the money goes to the record company fuck the record companys, you want music look online theres tons of it,and support your favorite band going to there shows, they pin some lady as an example ,thats fuck up
If every download was to be fined for, it would exceed the amount of money on the entire planet!
What mayhem said there. Also, over here in Holland it's legal to download, just not to upload. But I don't think we have those crazy high fines if you get caught. Not sure tho.
Scary thing is, the RIAA is a bunch of old men that have as much computer literacy as your grandpa, trying to pass laws that are completely retarded and misguided.
