And how commercial distributors make their money?

That’s the goal folks. They big media companies don’t want you to expand your music knowledge. They want you to buy everything they want published to the radio stations. That way they keep their monopoly on the industry. They do everything they can to bribe the radio stations to play their music and not independent artists. Then when the radio stations take the bribes, all you ever listen to is the garbage that the big media companies want you to listen to. You see they control the air waves this way and black you out from the independent artists. Then when an independent artist gets well known, you bet your ass these companies go after them with a record deal. That way they continue to steal from the artists for their own gains. Then they take the gouged money hoards that they’ve collected and give to the RIAA/etc to bribe the government into getting what they want law wise to sue these torrent sites/etc to limit competition more. Once these fuckers have a big enough hold on the money supply for the entire industry they will buy up everything and then there is no stopping them doing what they want. The only way to stop it is for the artists to start their own labels/etc to fix the situation, but the artists are too dumbed down to do it. They think their loss of sales is due to piracy instead of the slave contracts they sign and over pricing.

Looks like RIAJ doesn’t want people to give japanese artists free promotion on Youtube.
They’ve been reporting videos for copyright infrigement a lot now it seems.
Good work RIAJ, just continue to screw the music indutry over there, don’t let anyone outside of Japan know about their music, so that that industry crumbles too.
Stupid idiots :P

What are you on about? I was talking about stuff the media industry themselfs uploads (which is sadly only music videos)

Law professors don’t work tirelessly to do anything IN the legal system, mainly because they’re in academia.
Also, surveilance companies don’t do this sort of thing (and the p2p monitoring companies are all crap, take that as someone who’s destroyed them in court)

Maybe you should stop posturing?

Shut up before you hurt yourself. Youtube is being attacked constantly by anti-pirates.

99% of what I listen to was made by nobodies who put their music for free on soundcloud. Surely, I must be preventing these artists from being known.

A picture of said artist being robbed by a thief wearing a RIAA staff shirt might be more applicable
