"I'm sure he told you all about how much money he was making and how happy he was to have his work illegally exploited by the pirate bay who keep all of his money and pay him NOTHING. "
Nice try shill, the pirate bay didnt exist back then. This was BEFORE the interwebs were popular. Try again.
"Peter has seen a lot more money from Labels than he'll ever see from the pirate bay and other sites illegally exploiting his work and paying him absolutely NOTHING! "
Wow - I'm sure he told you all about how much money he was making and how happy he was to have his work illegally exploited by the major labels.
"I support the artist choice to make the decisions that are right for them" - Unless they choose to use the Pirate Bay, right?
"not to have those decisions taken away without consent or compensation." Like the majors currently do. Right, couldn't agree more.
"Welcome to the Exploitation Economy... why are you so threatened by Artists for An Ethical Internet? " - Dont kid yourself, there is nothing ethical about anything they suggest or the way they go about trying to get it implemented.
Lemme tell you a little story about an artist named Peter Gabriel. I had the fortune of eating dinner with him before a show at the Tower Theatre. He was complaining that he HAD TO TOUR so much because the record labels "didnt pay shit."
Anyone truly in the business knows the real money has always been playing live, and merch. Always will be.
"I'm pro-choice." - Then why are you not outraged that the MAFIAA tries to take away every avenue for free distribution to reach millions of potential fans?
Re: Reform of CopyRight that is what we stand for NOT eradicate it
"We PIRATES want the Artist to be the one to take benefit of his work by reversing the percentages that are taken from them. That is REALLY for what we stand for and not for free culture(as in free beers)...We want a Culture FREE of parasites in benefits of Creators and Citizenship."
"but I'm not a Good Writer"
You made your point loud and clear, and it is exactly how I feel.
Pirate friends sing pirate songs cause pirates love to sing.
"Look, the artists are exposing the pirate party" LOL almost fell outta my chair on that one. Ohhhh 30 out of thousands. Yeah ok AC.
"Anyone who supports the Pirates will obviously see the tall tale signs of bullshit from the media." - No who in Amerika gets that kind of treatment. Hmmmm. R.P.
Oh and BTW our Marines were sent into the DESERT with WOODLAND gear. (Former Marine who was among the first troops sent there. A co-worker turned good friend)
Oh and we cant forget the 2 billion spy center being built.
