Great post.If you are an Artist you should learn a bit about Signing Contracts.I did take the time to learn some but not many musicians I know have a clue about real Contracts.
Put it this way I swore I would never go Big Label back in the 70's and I never did.I stayed Punk Rock and Underground and intend to keep it that way.
Even if the MAFIAA changes their evil ways I still will not be running to them.I have pretty much been the guy who always supported the Underdogs...............
John Waters through the 70's, Indie Films, Punk Rock, Obscure 60's and early 70's Rock over the Big Bands, Garage Rock stuff. ETC.
Rather blow my small spending allotment on some kind of Indie Type Art.
I really am not hurting by not viewing or by not caring about these Big Book, Film, and Music Industries.I have a huge Library that will last me many years.
Reminds me a little bit about the people who "Complained" that their "Freedom" was jeopardized and we gave Birth to the infamous "Citizens United" SCOTUS decision which in plain English means Corporations are People.
Yes and we the people are getting very fed up with the assholes in our Political System.
Time to lose more Rights.And when you are finally backed up against the wall will you fight back for Freedom ?
The Current GOP are truly a bunch of disgusting A-Holes.These guys do not want smaller Government and less debt.They just want to force this whole Nation into backwards thinking 19TH Century World.Read some Article on how their Current Platform is sounding like a Platform from 1812 not 2012.
And yes after they ram thru their Porn BS they will next ram thru some IP BS for all those Big Donor Copyright Maximalists.
Both Parties would love to be able to control the Internet and both will do what they can to accomplish this goal.
I truly hate this Current Government and give them a nearly ZERO Approval.
Stupid Corrupt GOP & Dems I will not be sorry to see the lot of you Tarred & Feathered as in the days of old.
Ron Kirk & The USTR are not releasing the information on their super secret BS TPP to Congress & to Us The American Citizens.And they keep stonewalling the Senate who has asked numerous times for details.
Now this is what you call "Washington Transparency" .
Fuck Off Ron Kirk & USTR.Go wipe your dirty butts with your Toilet Paper Pact.
HTTPS Everywhere is in my Firefox.
On another note I am trying to figure out what the best VPN Service is at this point.Living in the USA and wanting to make myself more unseen to the World.
If you spend your money on Big Content then you are only feeding their greed.Best to spend your money on Indie & Local Art.
I also dislike buying any Non-Physical Art as I want a physical copy which I will have the Right to either Sell some day or at the very least put my Collection in my Will so it can go to my Heir.
I do have a book collection of over 1500 physical pieces.If they were all digital I would get ZERO BACK for them and my Heir would get NOTHING.
Call me a Dinosaur as I do not care.Point One is I truly own every item I have in my home.To do with as I see fit.I could even make a big fire and burn my Library if I felt like it.Point Two my Boycott of all things MAFIAA Continues and will continue as they are Censored from my Wallet.
I am sitting here doing the LOL thinking of how much the Politicians are in bed with these Corporations so seeing the Politicians get taken down is a Riot !
Looks like they got the stab in the back from their "Close" friends.
I left behind the World of Big Corporate Labels in the Mid 70's Era.I am an original punk rocker and would much rather listen to Obscure, Indie, Little known bands who did not or never would sign with RIAA.
We are not in it for the Art !!!!
DUH, I knew that fact Decades Ago !!!

I can find a ton of Indie & Local Art to choose from.I do not need the shite you put out.Nor do I need to take the shite you want to force on us.
These guys are A-Holes Supreme ! Fuck You Ron Kirk and Fuck You USTR.Take your Toilet Paper Pact and ram it up your Buttholes.Not even the Senate truly knows what these jokers are doing.I really am getting more and more of a hate for this Government.Both Parties are so Corrupted.Either way you would be seeing Draconian Secret Treaties meant to enforce their will and their money and their BS.
Boycott The MAFIAA ! Stop giving these A-Holes Money.
Buy INDIE Art Only !
Make sure to tell your Fans & Friends the issues like TPP.Spread the word to all you know.
There is no Transparency unless We Make It Transparent.
