I am talking about the court injunction against Limewire and what it could mean in the long run. Think about it for a moment …
Now, out of your pocket comes the extremely high cost of a music CD and you work hard for your money. This is your property just the same as the jeans you are wearing and the wallet that holds your change that is put into your own pocket. If you are owner of something then you have sole discretion on how it is used. If you walk into the parking lot and use the CD as a Frisbee, it is your prerogative … but …
From what I understand, “you are able to purchase the music and allow me to listen to it but you do not have the right to let me take a copy home’. Fair enough. My question is, “where will this end?” Will Procter & Gamble make it illegal for you to give your neighbor a little lotion for their chapped hands after a picnic? If company stays the night, will you be able to provide them a hot shower because they are not licensed to use the hot water provided by your power company? Will the Campbell’s Soup people sue you if you feed them?
Think of what this could mean without having a bounded imagination.
A great bunch of answers and from all the angels needed. Because I assume this place still has an anal attitude on ‘chatting’, I’ll just make a few general observations. Any similarities in response to a specific answer is purely coincidental and not intentional or intended as a means of chat.
I am of the absolute mind set that say’s NOT a chance and even if I am the bearer of bad news and seem like a cruel meanie, it cannot be avoided. For generations, we have just gone with the flow and every time they kicked us, we said ‘Thanks, can we have more.’ They have turned us into psychotic and paranoid psychopaths with a gluttony for punishment.
Prisons that are meant to make a profit, illegal drugs that are supplied by the people making them illegal, hating people from countries we will never visit and worse yet, hating each other. There is no excuse and my biggest prayer in life is that those responsible for our misery is fully reimbursed for their actions …
Theres a little more …
In this situation, there is and has always been theft. It has always been attributed to the very greedy slime who has brought suit here. Petty theft on a large scale pales in comparison to what has been taken from some very gifted musicians by the record industry. Agents, producers, promoters have taken the very heart and soul of their clients and left them penniless
They swindle the rights to the music with the help of some slick talking pencil pushing lawyers who are another scourge of humanity. I’ve always heard, “If you can’t say something good …. say nothing at all”, but that no longer applies. In order to avoid speaking about the evils in Government, the government must stop being evil and EVIL, they are. There is nothing sacred and Honor and Dignity are words of fantasy tales in their minds. No better than the Mafia because if they happen to decide to give you something, the pay off is usually much more than imagined. They are not the same as the people they rule over …
The level of cruelty is unimaginable yet they remain as unaffected as the Holy Rulers of the Church. An institution that hoards most of the worlds wealth while followers die from hunger and allow sexual molestation of children after having a 600 year history of murder that would make Charles Manson gag with nausea? My God looks at things a bit different.
Even if a person started their own religion, it cannot and will not survive without government interference. Remember David Koresh? How about the music industry and religion, Remember Cat Stevens? Without a fair and balanced society where the rules apply as, “The Rules” and to everyone, people will suffer injustice. If it belongs to me then don’t you dare tell me what to do with it because that makes it Yours! By God, if you are willing to send me to prison for a crime then don’t expect a pass because you have a job. If the creator decided to put pot on this earth then he gave it to me so back the F*** off !
I’m just saying …
