I'd love to know how many senators have taken campaign contributions from Chinese companies (read: chinese government) who would LOVE the US to be censored as it justifies (in their own tiny fear & hate filled minds) how they are abusing and raping their own people of their dignity and lives (and kidneys, if they happen to be compatible with those in power).
Actually technically the RIAA its just a bunch of organized criminals constantly ripping off artists for everything they can and threatening to sue them (and occasionally threatening their families).
RIAA/MPAA, and all the big labels have at one time or another been found guilty of organized crime and racketeering, but they always manage to bribe their way out of it.
Why should ANYONE be able to make a profit should be the question...
And the answer is, because they have a sustainable business model that isn't built on oppressing others or suppressing rival businesses, but instead innovates and outcompetes their rivals rather than risking violating basic human rights in the name of money.
Basic plan (hello RIAA/MPAA) is to say "you don't have ownership of this DIGITAL DOWNLOAD...but well...if you bought this CD/DVD [wink] then you'd have ownership.......

History channel will inevitably run out of Hitler things to say, and will produce a documentary about why there are so many hitler documentaries on the history channel, the universe will come full circle and their TV network will implode.
By a "much better internet" he obviously means something like AOL's 1995 walled garden........

Carrier IQ saying it never gave info to the FBI kinda proves the FBI is investigating this shady organization, because god KNOWS what personal info they've been selling to scam artists, the chinese government and others.
(Saying Chinese government might seem a stretch but if someone is working in the tech industry, wouldn't YOU want to know if they were unhappy at work and would be ripe for headhunting?)

Re: Re: Re: Re:
In 1997, Meatloaf had to sue Sony Records for unpaid royalties going back to 1983 and his federal RICO (racketeering) claim was successful.
i.e. even the COURTS have said the big labels are involved in organized crime/racketeering.

Sony HATES it when people bring up the fact that they thought they could rip Meatloaf off, but got utterly and absolutely OWNED in court.
