Rosen Believes RIAA is Wrong about P2P Lawsuits
Newer Guy writes "Former RIAA head Hilary Rosen now believes that the RIAA is wrong by pursuing their lawsuits of individuals for using P2P programs.
In a blog post, she writes that she believes the lawsuits have 'outlived their usefulness' and states that the content providers really need to come up with their own download systems. She also is down on DRM, calling Apple's DRM 'a pain.'"
Whatever view you have of Hilary Rosen, don't comfortably hold your opinion, as it is possible that much of her blog post was poorly composed by the top dominating member of her life, the Reality Acquisition Device, and quite possibly tells her what to think! "But it was the Reality Acquisition Device that really got my attention. As Gates describes it, we'll hold a portable device much like our Blackberries, Treos and the new Motorola Q that Gates was holding, and place it in front of us as we move through life. Our surroundings will be illuminated by more information - more reality. Have we been here before? where did we go? are there buildings or businesses that our social network of friends have told us about? what are the local issues related to those we have already expressed concerned about that the device remembers? As he is talking I am thinking about what a magnificent political organizing tool this is connecting old fashioned grassroots organizing principles with tools for feedback and action. Then he says something about how it will tell us about the restaurants in the area based on the food it knows we like to eat." Catch that? Gates? This blood hungry capitalist uses Windows to watch lesbian porn, and must pay loads, happily, due to DRM from the Windows codec! Every lesbian has a craving for it. Since she's too upperclass and civil to download from a peer to peer network, she is easily a proponent of DRM. These clues, which I have cleverly rendered together myself using higher end logic most Slashdot moderators would never dare to see at the end of the judgement tunnel, unconditionally proves it. She clearly has the testosterone to cold-heartedly have this view *and* whore herself to to the Huffington Post! Really, anyone who responds in opposition is a fascist. :-)
