RIAA CEO Hilary Rosen to Become CNBC Commentator
alen writes "According to a story by the New York Post the CEO of the RIAA is stepping down. She is going to be an anchor on CNBC. Maybe this is going to signal a change in the way record companies think about file sharing?"
It's like they are TRYING to piss me off.
I have been pwned because my
CNBC will initiate a reverse class action suit against all of its viewers, for viewing its valuable television programs without paying.
Guess this probably means an end to those late night CNBC BitTorrents. Sigh.
She's reportedly been paid big money by the news organization to act on her strategy for preventing TIVO users from pirating their news feeds..... by making people stop watching!

That reminds me: I've got no U2 mp3s on my puter, better go get some off Kazaa.
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
What's next? Perhaps CNBC will hire David Duke to do commentary.
Didn't Foxnews already do that?
Someday naming your daughter Hillary will be as favorable as naming your son Adolph.
For some people of a certain political persuasion that someday has already come.
I have been pwned because my
"They are looking for me to do the larger picture on some of the content convergence and media consolidation issues and know that I have a point of view on many issues as a longtime advocate," she wrote in the e-mail.
Yeah, and her opinions, as before, will be wrong, wrong, WRONG!
(Who was the liar who told Hilary the public wants to hear more of her rants anyway?)

Grousing about rejected submissions is, I know, verboten. But seriously, I miss the old /. days when the site had no lawyers and lots of balls. The editors these days seem to have a stuck "Boring" key or something, A better title (e.g. mine) would have been:

CNBC rewards Rosen's failure, incompetence by making her rich
Now that's a title that says something. I had some witty line the body about the Peter Principle. It was all good.
Pussies.

Now we get to hear this idiot wind bag on TV even more? On a regular basis?
$5 says it was a settlement. The RIAA caught CNBC people sharing music at work and rather than sue the pants off them, they offered her a show.
So Orrin Hatch was auditioning for the job when he said the RIAA should be able to "destroy" peoples computers?
Whenever the offence inspires less horror than the punishment, the rigour of penal law is obliged to give way...
Hilary Rosen leaving RIAA to become CNBC anchor
maybe that means...
Hilliary Clinton leaving Senate to head up RIAA.
and that would leave...
Hilary Swank quits her acting career to become NY Senator!
Anchors do influence how people think of the news presented. When she frowns as she talks about people 'stealing' songs, smiles when she reports their arrest, and flirts with her co-anchor when she mentions a new DRM product, people will get the idea that d/ling is bad, arresting p2p'ers is good, and DRM is sexy.
Mmmmmm. Cactus datashield. You're sooooo hot.
Yay me!
This is important! The people must know!

change in the way record companies think
Compilation error: Bad syntax at line 1.
Words like "change" and "think" cannot be used in a sentence along with "record companies".
Write boring code, not shiny code!
Isn't this commentator sharing? Who can we see about putting a stop to this???

Try tying her to an anchor, now that i'd like to see...

Sorry Slashdotters - the Simpsons were making fun of people just like you!
Not only is she getting a promotion from shill for record labels to shill for GE and Microsoft, but also she'll be pleased to know that there is a 0% chance of her show ever being traded on p2p.
