Rants About the RIAA

lilnemo28	Date: April 30, 2003 @ 7:14 AM hardcorepromo.com music I've downloaded(online promotion group for indie artists). It's a way for good music to be heard. In fact last night I checked my uploads and a load of hardcorepromo people were being downloaded from my connection. DJ Catatonic, MIDI Queen, "Nemo"(myself), hook, and a few others I can't think of right now. But now someone else has our music, and soon someone will download from them and so on and so on and so on. Till we've really reached a mass market of people without the RIAA, and the big business record labels. It that just chaps their hide. Online Record companies, indie record companies, and online music promoters are the only way to go. " id="43792"> The RIAA is just another manipulative organzation for the US government. It's agenda is to make us mindless drones and buy music that is proper and acceptable to all beaurcrats out there. Like the mindless dribble they play on TRL. It seems that people with even a shred of talent are online, indie labels or just pass out some cds at their gigs. And sharing music goes against everything they stand for(the RIAA). I share my music everyday. I'm on BearShare which ties into gnuettla, limewire, gnuecelus, myster, and a few more. I'm probably the largest sharer on the web making available over 22,000 files, including all the hardcorepromo.com music I've downloaded(online promotion group for indie artists).

sinai	Date: May 16, 2003 @ 1:01 AM why dunt we juss raise some money, get ourselves johnnie cochran or something and do a lil investigating into the RIAA, i'm sure we could come up with some smear campaign shit, hell we made martha stewart look like a cunt! but wasnt everyone juss looking for a reason to hate that woman anyway?
wolf2083	Date: June 27, 2003 @ 2:50 PM While i believe that taking someones work and selling it is wrong. The RIAA is going about this all wrong. How the hell can they sue millions of people? That is utter stupidity. Spend millions of dollars by throwing tons of people in jail? I bet you even some government officials download music. They need to stop being part of the problem and become part of the solution. Apple Computer took the effort to at least help to solve this. The RIAA can go to hell.
CowgirlBebop	Date: June 27, 2003 @ 3:47 PM i hate them so much. i hate seeing them on the news all the time, now, too. stupid stupid stupid. let's just eliminate libraries, right?
Equimanthorn	Date: June 27, 2003 @ 4:12 PM When people love a band or a particular cd, they buy it. The problem with mp3 (from the industry point of view) is that people can preview (or "prehear") all the crappy stuff featured today and, of course, decide not to buy it. They prefer the classic radio-single scheme because in that way consumers can be tricked to buy a whole record just because of one "good" song.
Karmatic	Date: July 25, 2003 @ 7:33 PM Seriously, if I had the opporutunity, I would make the RIAA President's life a living hell.
TameasDust	Date: July 26, 2003 @ 9:46 AM it seems that if your not for the RIAA you are a criminal and as a criminal you have no voice. makes me sad to think 30 million voters have no voice.
lilnemo28	Date: August 1, 2003 @ 12:53 AM Okay I saw this post just after I heard something on the radio today. The RIAA plan to file suit against everyone who downloads music using any of the various file sharing p2p programs. Scientist have literally scoffed at this. They have made scientific calculations, accounting for trial time, filing paper work, average time hunting down the user, and prosecuting them. To sue everyone using right now (not to mention there are hundreds of thousands of new users a day) it would take RIAA till the year 2414 to sue everyone. Guess they'll be serving me with papers at my gravestone over MY ROTING CORPSE! hahahahahahaha What a bunch of Dumbasses." id="56868">"While i believe that taking someones work and selling it is wrong.

jackschitt	Date: August 1, 2003 @ 2:33 AM I'm really starting to get sick of listening to this RIAA rant & rave bullshit....... bitching without offering solutions. I offer a challenge here and now. Come One - Come All....... this is it...... time to... Shut Up - OR - Put Up. How much has any one of YOU supported indie musicians this year? How many indie CD's have YOU bought this year? And Who were they? So put your fuckin' money where your mouth is. You talk about how shitty the RIAA is - and while the RIAA deserves all the bad press they get. They are a scourge on the very art we all love - but if all you do is download free music, and don't help finance the indie artist that create it. How are you any fuckin' different. Time to belly up folks....... what will it be? Status quo or financially support each other?
