Music Giants Sue Baidu Over Music Downloads

chengee writes "Music giants Universal, EMI, Warner, Sony BMG and their local subsidiaries are suing Chinese search engine Baidu for allegedly infringing the copyright of hundreds of songs, a press report said Friday. Looks like the party is going to be over for Chinese downloaders. But more importantly how will this lawsuit turn out in a place known for its lax copyright laws?"

Terrific! Encore!

PLEASE, more, MORE!

YOU paint yourself into that 'wack-job' corner with statements like this: "...we just don't fscking care anymore."

Yep. Just who America needs to run their country - mad dog libs ready to take a bite out of everything just to have their little way.

And don't get me started about the corrupt .org that is the U.N.! Maybe Bush doesn't like them much since they SCREWED us on so many occasions (like oil for food, N. Korean nukes, etc.) You like talking about LIES, the LIES of G.W. Well, why are you silent about the U.N.'s LIES, huh? Have a LITTLE integrity would you?

Well here's the deal Sparky, you don't own the media anymore - no more one sided bullshit. You'll have to compete for the truth from now on. You have everything else BUT Fox News (with a 65% plus news viewership now). Wow.. It can't be that you're not getting the message out - it MIGHT just be that your message SUCKS.

Kerry lost the last election - not because of the 'machinations' of Karl Rove (last I checked he wasn't running for office), but because Kerry brought NOTHING to the table. Referring people to his website on basic questions on Iraq or the economy, while geeky and great for Slashdotters, is not what most people will want to hear. If you can't sum up what you believe in a few sentences, than people doubt that you believe in anything!

In addition, you need to start acting like winners instead of sore losers. Mind you, that means you KNOW YOUR PLACE and stop acting like you have the majority voice all the time. You don't. Still though, every time a Gore or Dean opens his mouth, he brilliantly gives Rove everything he wants and more. To be honest - Rove can't control the fecal matter you folks spew, so you can only blame yourselves for your predicament.

You you're going to "put my head on a pike" then? VERY democratic of you! I guess the democracy only works when your side wins right? Do you know how many hours I used to sit in front of CNN and go, 'Son of a BITCH you guys SUCK!'? Nonetheless, I kept my civility, I chose to work within the system for a change. Whatever happened to non-partisanship? Oh right, Reps are supposed to be the 'good guys' and just lay down our necks while you sharpen the blade.

The biggest mistake you libs made was screwing the first Bush over with the 'no new taxes' thing. "Oh NOO, Mr. Bush, we won't make politcal hay over this! It's for the good of the country!' Yeah, TEN FUCKING MINUTES later you had Dems in a press conference out there screaming to the media about how Bush broke his promise. Well guess what? You live you learn. And as for you folks, you reap what you sow - that's in the Bible (not sure you'd know that).

That stunt FINALLY galvanized the Reps who, for the previous 30 or so years would usually take the high road and not retaliate or even defend themselves properly against you. Thanks to that brilliant move, you finally proved your party to be completely without morals or truthfulness. Stop blaming Rove for the gift you folks GAVE HIM!

Even the minorities are turning against you. After all, what the hell have you REALLY done for them? What? You think the Civil Rights bill was a Dem idea? Heh. Right. I'm sure Senator Byrd (former member of the KKK) was right behind that. The truth was, it was introduced my Reps and more Republicans voted for that bill, FAR more than Dems. You came to that party a little late also.

To my estimation, what the country is seeing now is the TRUE Left. Unfettered, unchecked, and out of fucking control.

Go get your pike you dumb ass, and I'll keep my 2nd amendment rights handy as well. And keep up the great posts! It helps remind people what you really stand for.
