This is direct proof that the corporate world control government and ultimately us. The rich powerful moneymen rule this world, not the fake democracies and puppet politicians. People need to continue to fight the corporate agenda; the alternative is to continue as slaves to the wealthy.

“Let me advance my idea of why CDs cost so much: BJs. All these bloated record executives are spending our money for BJs from girls who wouldn’t even look at us.”

” Then come marketing and promotion costs — perhaps the most expensive part of the music business today. They include increasingly expensive video clips, public relations, tour support, marketing campaigns, and promotion to get the songs played on the radio. For example, when you hear a song played on the radio — that didn’t just happen! Labels make investments in artists by paying for both the production and the promotion of the album, and promotion is very expensive. New technology such as the Internet offers new ways for artists to reach music fans, but it still requires that some entity, whether it is a traditional label or another kind of company, market and promote that artist so that fans are aware of new releases.
“For every album released in a given year, a marketing strategy was developed to make that album stand out among the other releases that hit the market that year. Art must be designed for the CD box, and promotional materials (posters, store displays and music videos) developed and produced. For many artists, a costly concert tour is essential to promote their recordings.”

In other words, kids, they are charging you $18 for a piece of plastic in order to talk you into buying it. You are subsidizing your own manipulation.

Worse than that is a little thing called Payola. Payola used to be scandalous. That was when record companies would pay deejays to wear out a record. Nowadays that is illegal. Yeah, now you have to have a middleman buy the airtime, and it is perfectly legal. That means that today’s corporate radio will only play records that have enough corporate muscle behind them. Why would you play a record for free when you can get paid with all of your money for what the RIAA calls marketing expenses. So, that means your money is being used to force smaller, cooler bands, who can’t afford to bribe the radio stations, out of existence to make room for Paris Hilton’s new single and every Brittney Spears or Kieth Urban the RIAA decides to squat down and squeeze out.

The poor RIAA also complains about high production costs. Hmm. Maybe that’s because all of their lap dogs need to be overproduced to make them sound less like ass.

F*ck the RIAA and anybody who looks like them.

Tip: run a wireless router for plausible deniability :-)

On the other hand, when it comes to films, music and software – I agree with Jeremy. Lock ‘em all up ! That’s plain and simple theft.

Those punishments are out of proportions, and this guy is not a criminal, he is a hero!

Look how much he sacrificed, just so that he could (wihtout any credit) share this film with so many!

One day we will realize what a horrible mistake this is, and we’ll all owe him an apology.

Death to the RIAA, death to the middle man, long live movies and entertainment!

That’s just my opinion of course.[/quote]

Thats just my opinion of course.
