fuck the RIAA!!

[hm_murdock]

if I go to sleep I'll miss the revolution though! I wanna be there for the final battles of the platform wars!

I think there needs to be an even stronger movement to boycott the RIAA.  I'd like to see it be a big enough movement to really cut into their sales hard and reduce their profits to ziltch.  Make it so they can no longer afford their Nazi-Lawyers and sue the pants off of innocent people.

He has a point,  to us a 12 year old has "cute factor" but they have ruined the lives of lots of people before this.  To be honest I'm sick of rich fucks like RIAA and the like trying to take away my freedoms.  Why not just not buy into their tainted crap?  There have got to be alternatives out there who want their fans to have their rights.

Still looking of course...  haven't managed to find a big repository of Free music yet but I'm sure I'll find one.  And I'm pretty sure mp3.com doesn't count.

edit1:
openmusic.linuxtag.org describes the actual license.  There are three levels, green, yellow and red in order of most free to least free.

woo hoo, pay dirt:

http://www.openmusicregistry.org/

 still looking for more as well as information on which of the groups I listen to are for / against my freedoms...

Ah crap, looks like I'm not a Nine Inch Nails / Marilyn Manson fan anymore.  Fuck you Trent Reznor you hypocritical scum bag!  Pretty accurate now considering he acts like all the other stars he supposedly hates.  And I just bought the new MM album too.    

Woo, you rebel Trent, go sue those fans.   :rolleyes:  

edit:
Also amusingly he was inspired by Skinny Puppy (good band btw) - who made a lot of songs which cant be released because they infringe on a few horror movies intellectual "property."
