EMI Customer Relations Tells It Like It Is

Posted by michael on from the bring-in-da-noize dept.

hype7 writes "The Register is running a story about the most outrageous email sent from a customer services rep at BMI in Germany to a customer who had difficulty playing a copy-protected CD in his CD player. One of the most stunning lines from the translation: "If you plan to continue protesting about future audio media releases with copy protection, forget it; copy protection is a reality, and within a matter of months more or less all audio media worldwide are copy protected. And this is a good thing for the music industry. In order to make this happen we will do anything within our power - whether you like it or not.""

    You don't like the analogy to the National Enquirer? Well fuck you. It may not be the National Enquirer, but it is most definitely a remorseless rumor mill. It's about as journalistic as my blog. Even Matt Drudge has some fucking standards, man. He doesn't just run about posting rumors to further his agenda. Actually, that makes me realize what publication the Register really resembles: Pravda. The newspaper of the communist party.
