EFF Ad Campaign On File Swapping

miladus writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation is launching an ad campaign to counter the RIAA's lawsuits about file swapping. There are more details available at the File Sharing: It's Music To Our Ears subsite." The press release kicking off this campaign says that "EFF's Let the Music Play campaign provides alternatives to the RIAA's litigation barrage, details EFF's efforts to defend peer-to-peer file sharing, and makes it easy for individuals to write members of Congress."

copyright was always broken

[Thinkit3]

The internet does not change things. Copyright was and always will be a dumb, illogical idea. It didn't make sense when the printing press ruled, and it doesn't make sense now.

I make the occasional huge shit log...

But otherwise I don't produce ideas, because NOBODY produces ideas. They exist outside of time. Ding-dong.

What?!?! Are you a moron? "they exist outside of time"?!!? What kind of new-age, hippie, dope-head shit is this? God fucking damnit of all the slashtard slugs that inhabit this blog you must be the stupidest. Let me guess, you're one of those dipdunks that has a "visualize world peace" sticker on your car. Get a clue and get an education, as it stands now, you represent the worst of human intellectual (in)capacity. Tell you what, I'll give the benefit of a doubt, how about explaining how they "exist out of time". At a minimum I expect a logical analysis of how thoughts exist out side of the brain and a rational mechanism by which they interface with the cortex. Without these (at a minimum) you shall remain an ignorant slug.

Re:Who decides if its stealing ? The RIAA or us?

"60 million people, vs maybe a few hundred thousand people who work for the RIAA."

So you believe a mojority has a right to infringe on the rights of a minority. I'd rather live in a dictatorship that preserved my individual rights than your twisted society where the majority opinion is law. You have no right to a freedom that infringes on the freedom of another, in this case the constitutionally protected right to maintain a copyright.

copying is not theft.
