Canadian Music Stars Fight Against DRM

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it's-ok-to-share-eh dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Some of Canada's best known musicians, including Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlin, Sum 41, and Barenaked Ladies, have formed a new copyright coalition. The artists say in a press release that they oppose file sharing lawsuits, the use of DRM, and DMCA-style legislation and that they want record labels to stop claiming that they represent their views."

    Why the hell then do they take money from the labels. Break the contract or better yet DON'T sign up in the first place.

    A bunch of RICH hypocritical artists. Dump the perks and the labels money and then say something.

    You really think we'd be better off with Kerry?

    Yes. As uncharismatic as he comes across in the press, Kerry seems to be occasionally competent. He has at least demonstrated that he could satisfactorily perform his duties as a squad leader in actual combat, unlike our current "Commander".

    Granted, it doesn't take much to outshine our current Chimp-in-Chief's competency levels, but you asked only whether we thought that we'd be better off with Kerry...

    I still haven't figured out what Bush is competent at, except for signing bills to spend money that the government doesn't have.
