this place makes me sick

milladrive	Date: November 23, 2002 @ 9:45 AM http://www.musicunited.org/index.html" id="26757">..to my stomach. I so wanna vomit on their floor, I'm not even lookin' for their bathroom. http://www.musicunited.org/index.html
Expose	Date: November 23, 2002 @ 11:26 AM It's all lies, all of it. All BS. I remember in an old gnutella thread, you had said(shortened) that if no $$ was getting exchanged that it was not stealing, since I wouldn't of bought it anyway. That's reason 1. Reason 2 is that they have a monopoly on horrible music(biggy for ex) and overprice it, encourging people to act like fake rockers and rappers. It makes me sick to see my entire school is all just fake rockers and rappers that think the best punk rock is that little bitch avril lavinge. The rockers all look the same, as do the rappers, and they try to tune out anything out but that genre. The rappers don't like the rockers and the rockers don't like the rappers. It makes me sick. 1) there's better music in that genre. 2) If you're gonna limit yourself to that genre you shouldn't be listening to music. Now onto reason 3. They don't let any other artists in. Only the few @$$holes that have no talent that make $$$, and they don't give indie artists anything. Sites like those just make me feel like wanting to nuke them all. :\| " id="26760">Milla, there is a simple way to bypass this and get the message to people. We tell the youngsters that are dumb "You can get free music!" and the smarter people the real story. That's what I do, I just set 'em up with kazaa lite and a no brain firewall, and tell 'em to try and get 192k and over if they can. The smarter people that I try to get sharing do it themselves.

azhazhellfire	Date: November 23, 2002 @ 4:16 PM anyway, back to the point. what i really hate about the front page of that site, is that pic of that innocent looking singer. makes it look like the RIAA is protecting her or something. and why does the RIAA need this site, they've got their own home page, why would they need this?
Frawgster	Date: November 23, 2002 @ 5:20 PM riaa.org is more of an informational site. The layout of musicunited; its choice of words, color scheme, etc...it's all geared towards the youth.

azhazhellfire	Date: November 23, 2002 @ 5:27 PM i notice it doesn't actually say anywhere in the site that its run by the RIAA. bastards. im not visiting that site again. it makes me really angry. and then im angry for the rest of the day. and if you read that comic strip at the bottom of that link i gave you then you'll feel the same way. THAT DAD JUST SHOVED THE PRESENT RIGHT BACK IN HER FACE, PROBABLY TOOK HER AGES TO FUKING DOWNLOAD AND BURN AND HE'S JUST SUCH A PEICE OF SHIT!!!! see what i mean? if my parents tried to stop me file sharing in the same way as that dad did then i'd get a simple job, enough to keep me eatin and leave home. (dunno how easy that is in america but its pretty easy here) that sisters a bitch to.

ChillinBuzz	Date: November 24, 2002 @ 2:20 AM Instructions for disabling KaZaA functions It’s actually quite easy to disable the SuperNode function in KaZaA, as well as to disable file sharing. There’s an even easier way to do the right thing. You can simply uninstall your KaZaA software. Click here to download step-by-step instructions (pdf). I have to admit, I found this amusing :D" id="26845">Are You a SuperNode? If you’re a KaZaA user, there’s something else you may not realize. The KaZaA software you installed on your hard drive has a default setting that allows your computer to be commandeered by the KaZaA system and used as what they call a "SuperNode" without your knowing it. A SuperNode is a computer that routes traffic around the network—which means that KaZaA can drain away your computing power and your bandwidth without any warning whenever it pleases. Many Gnutella programs have a similar function they call "Super-Peers."

jmweirick	Date: March 26, 2003 @ 7:52 PM at that site, and comic, used several pictures and quotes from it for a paper for school, yes it was against the RIAA, got a 94, i think
flamingpyro	Date: March 27, 2003 @ 3:07 AM musicunited....... runs to toilet and
azhazhellfire	Date: March 27, 2003 @ 3:31 AM can people stop bringing back threads that i made myself look like an idiot in please? thank you. my point of view: the RIAA are evil sadistic bastards. no doubt about it. we have plenty of reasons to hate them. but i think that the way to stop them is not to steal from them. but to simply not buy from them. i don't see what the hell is wrong with just not using their overpriced service at all. this site is a demonstration that ordinary people can make extraordinary stuff. we don't need their music. and no one's gonna be boycottin anyone any time soon until all the ordinary farmer joe's realise that. when the world knows, then the industry will fall. until then. people will continue to worship one of the biggest con artists in the world.
azhazhellfire	Date: March 27, 2003 @ 3:31 AM yes pyro, that has been established.

Svensta	Date: March 27, 2003 @ 9:24 AM I want to send them a big fu too. Preferably fu-dawg, with a submachine gun and a bad mood.
jmweirick	Date: March 27, 2003 @ 3:00 PM i think az is right, the only way to stop them is to show the world that u don't have to have a big record label contract to be a good artist.
Jennae	Date: March 27, 2003 @ 11:44 PM :rofl: that's right. :nod:" id="38763">"u don't have to have a big record label contract to be a good artist." that's right.
ashleighj	Date: March 28, 2003 @ 12:09 AM i especially love the factual errors (or flat-out lies, to be more accurate).. click the link about legal music on the web (next to the "i'm using heroin" chick's picture) and they'll tell you in the margin that copyright protection is in the constitution.. funny, it wasn't there last time i checked.
ashleighj	Date: March 28, 2003 @ 12:15 AM sorry for the double-post, but i made a factual error myself.. the constitution does allow congress to establish copyright law, though it doesn't require them to. sloppy half-truths, i suppose. in either case, i'm sick of the phrase "stealing music".. copyright violation is illegal, sure, but your violation doesn't prevent them from selling their product (98% of the time, it's not art) to someone else like real theft does. ok, rant mode off, sleep mode on.
si-g	Date: March 29, 2003 @ 7:34 AM omg what a load of BS... everyone knows that music lovers will d/l a few tracks off an album n if it's good enuff they will buy it, wheres tha harm in that?? p2p sharing programs have gained artists so much extra (free) promotion.. if these fat cats up in the office would simply lower CD prices to $10 less ppl will d/l, its all about money... less greed = more wealth
flamingpyro	Date: March 31, 2003 @ 12:16 AM yup..... greedy bastards..... (not that i have any reason for hating them, not being a musican myself) and yes az, i was just making sure everyone got the point.....

Expose	Date: April 2, 2003 @ 3:48 PM I just think of it this way; if it can be so easily reproduced, how is it worth so much? If a CD was $3, I woulda gone out and bought 4 CDs I like right now. But hell no to spendin' $60 on 'em all!

Remye	Date: April 6, 2003 @ 9:54 AM It's not always (nor SHOULD it be) about what the consumer wants. I know I know, I've said things in the past that seem to contradict that statement, but bear with me. I know that w/o the artist, there is no consumer, so I can agree that a 3 dollar cd would be nice, but it wouldn't solve all the problems. In theory, it's a great idea. It's in the details that it would be screwed up. If there WAS a 3 dollar cd, and the RIAAS$$holes are getting 90% of that for their part in it, then the artist STILL only gets 30 cents on the whole thing, and that's being if the RIAA$$holes are feeling generous. The fix either needs to favor the artist more, or have the price set so that the artists get some real $$$. The math holds out. I DO like the idea, think it's great. Just wish there was a way to make the reality more viable. ttmmm
