Meanwhile, I just was encouraged to d/l three movies. Not because I do routinely, but because I want the MPAA to realize they can’t win.

But what it will do, is drive whatever small time piracy exists, underground to fuel a huge black market in the US. That's all we need. Another hot commodity for organized crime to exploit. As if illegal drugs, gambling and prostitution isn't enough. Yeah, let's make music and movie piracy only something the Mafia can pull off. And it makes a weird kind of sense. The entertainment industry has had some cozy relationships with crime families, in the past. So if anyone's going to steal from them, it should be old friends, right? And of course, a new black market will also put some payoff cash in the hands of various law enforcement officials, to look the other way (again!). What the MPAA (and RIAA) really objects to, is that so many nobodies can do now, what they'd rather could only be done by those they have profitable relations with. Regardless of any legalities or moralities. And the cash value of music and movies, is arbitrarily set. As it gets more expensive, piracy increases, bring it legit sales down. The MPAA wants taxpayer funded law enforcement to help keep their profits from falling. That would be like the Feds busting people who make their own diamonds, to help out De Beers. The question is, should our government be in the monopoly protecting business? Why is the government less worried about the loss of jobs of the many, over the loss of wealth of the rich few?

I think I might just take them back to the store, get a refund and buy something else as presents. Like maybe a shitload of blank DVD-R's and a new burner. And a Netflix account. I may even try to talk the two other people who were planning to go with me tomorrow to see "The Day the Earth Stood Still" into some other activity instead. Yeah, I'm a real happy customer. Eat Shit and DIE, MPAA. I’m beginning to regret the DVD’s I just bought for Christmas presents tonight.

This was NOT a copyright violation because it was an scholarly report...protected speech. But YouTube complied without a hearing or checking the law. Corporations run our country. Let's see... the definition of that is...Fascism. The Satriani/Cold Play analysis was removed from YouTube the other day by Cold Play’s Record Company.

Maybe everyone knows more than you do. Obama is smart, he’s honest, and he’s surrounded himself with people that know what they’re doing.

Besides, if Dumbya couldn’t kill us, nobody can.
