because she disagreed with the RIAA's nazi-positions on music, right?
Fact is, if Rosen didn't agree with those positions, she wouldn't have been doing that job.

- Copyrights can be transferred, therefore, I cannot assume that your artist owns her own copyright. Check it out, thats what this whole SCO suit is about. Think before you type.
.mp3s with names resembling that of songs belonging to RIAA member labels, and bots send DMCA takedown notices to ISP ...It is not required that a DMCA takedown notice be fair or reasonable." Which is true, but you CAN represent yourself, someone who is (self proclaimed) as knowledgable about IP laws as yourself should be able to handle it. Besides, it would be a silly move to name all of your songs with the names of copyrighted songs, change the names on the MP3s and they won't get busted. The RIAA also doesn't stand a chance in hell of beating you in court if the MP3s aren't in violation of a copyright.

-You win on fair use I guess, my definition did not take into account for the cited legislation. (I'll conceed to you on that one)

-I am not a member of the GOP, and, in fact voted (mostly) for independant candidates in the last election. You are still a communist. I am not a born-again, I am an athiest. You are an ignorant biggot.
-You are still ignorant. I am only fortified in this belief by your insistence on ad hominem attacks (which I must admit that I too am guilty of, in retaliation). You are a typical pinko liberal shmo who probably would suck Bill Clinton's dick if he promised to end capitalism as we know it.
In theory I like the DMCA. Thats right, mods, do your worst. In many ways the DMCA has provisions that protect parties from being wrongfully charged with infringement. That said, it does have its abuses - these are holes that should be plugged.
To oppose fair enforcement of copyright laws is anti-capitalist, and against the essential principals that define this country. Unless you believe that Communism works (worked real well in the USSR) or hell, even socialism (worked out perfectly in the UK), you should stop trying to convert this country to one of those systems.
