RIAA vs The Economy
thumbtack writes "Boycott-RIAA.com is running an analysis
of the RIAA sales vs a number of other large corporations. It was compiled by
Justin
Moore at Duke University. It is really quite interesting, showing the the
RIAA sales are pretty much consistent with the rest of the economy. From the analysis:
I would assert, however that it does make the case in cold, hard numbers that
the RIAA's claim of digital piracy ravaging their sales must be taken with a rather
large grain of salt. The CEOs of Eastman-Kodak are in a nearly identical economic
situation as the RIAA, yet do not have the luxury of blaming digital piracy."
first !!!!
YES!!!!!!
You don't understand, the economy went down so quickly, it was like the equivalent of going out of business 5-6 times.
People give me shit for screwing your mother on the first date. They don't understand, she went down so quickly on the first date, it was like the equivalent of going out 5-6 times.

...the RIAA boycotts YOU!
Since when has stealing become acceptable?
If you download any material from the internet (mp3, divx, games, etc) that you have not paid for, you are stealing. Simple as that.
As with Operating Systems there are other alternatives from paying the fees associated with buying music. There are several bands that give their music away for free, go to them. Now, if you don't like their stuff, then, it's your problem, not mine or the RIAA.
If the internet transforms itself on the primary means of committing copyright infringement, it too should be censored, for no one as far as I know, like their goods being taken without pay.
Sometimes, the truth is very simple.
I think the RIAA hacked into my computer not too many days after 9/11/2003 and disabled many of my MP3's. A lot of you will notice this. You may have just thought it was bad encryption or corrupted files. Many of you deleted those files. Those are evidence, any MP3 that you have that can't be opened in any program and/or you've been wondering about for a while, that is. It is dated after 9/11/2002. I gave myself a year because I'm so smart I can't remember that far back.j ured(don't those words all mean the same thing, or, at least, one logically leads up to the other, once again, sorry for the excessive creativity)figures.

A lot of people working for them could tell you there are. And that's a lot of confessions to be making. I hope there are some Christians there too. Cause' they're usually pretty honest. :)
You need to keep them if you have any left. These may be evidence against the RIAA. I accidentally formatted my hard disk not more than 3 or 4 months ago and lost all of them I had.
The RIAA could have possibly reverse engineered the MP3 codec and the Kazaa program, created the virus, experimented with it, tweaked it to perfection, waited until a vast number of people joined Kazaa, and then unleashed it. This is possible because humans work for the RIAA and humans are creative beings.
It's called Fizzle, I think.
It uses e-mail to transmit. Apparently through some of the similar means as the SQL Slammer Virus. But I don't know much about programming. I really need to learn. My e-mail address is at the bottom of this.
It's very easy to get a lot of e-mail addresses of the people that are using Kazaa right now. There are (or were) around 4 million at any given time. (People, on the Kazaa network. Pay attention.) You don't have to know them if you're just trying to kill them, or get rid of all the copyright infringement going on so that you can start making money again. That sentence made no sense. I'm sorry for being creative and possibly violating the law, because apparently free speech is gone where I live. I have watched it disappear for a very long time. Of COURSE the RIAA posts bad/wrong/stupid/incorrect/blatant/purposeful/con
(Btw/ physical possessions are meaningless.)
Explain this one to me, because maybe I just don't understand:
How do I know this? Well, if they calculated all the transactions correctly for all of their taxes, income, expenses, gifts, buyouts, rollovers, hires, fires, kills (not that I know that they did it, or any of these things, but I'll bet they're involved in at least just one...) and anything else related to money, then they really are god.
Because the RIAA employs SO many people. A LOT of evil people. All humans lie. If you can find me a human that you know has never lied, you need to bring him to me so that I may proclaim him god, because I am an angel. You can't tell me there's not 1 single evil/bad/corrupt/fearful/loathed/despicable/terri
1 spoiled apple rottens the bunch.
Somewhere inside the RIAA, a transaction messed up. They failed. One of the employees got either/or/and tired, drunk, high, stupid, angry, depressed, or happy (or something); and screwed up one transaction, one day. I promise.
Hum(jmcfarland at quapaw2.qti.tec.ar.us)ans are humans. We fail sometimes. We are imperfect machines. The principles of our American government (if you live in America that is, apparently THE most exciting place to be) conflict with this idea.
The government has too much power because it believes it is god even when it's not. It is supposed to be perfect because we are supposed to trust our government. We are forced to trust our government sometimes; many people, everyday. It is subject to fail.
Conspiracy theory? Maybe...
*adjusts tin hat*
RIAA vs. The Economy.
Round 1 - Both sue each other on 666 counts of Anti-Semitism
Round 2 - Another feeble attempt to make everyone believe they are "fighting"
Round 3 - Bar Mitzvah over at Schlomo Rahlin's home.
Round 4 - Profit from dumb goys.
Oy! Vat a raket!
