RIAA, Stop Suing Tech Investors!
The RIAA isn't just suing tens of thousands of music consumers; they've also begun filing lawsuits naming the directors of and investors in tech companies that they believe contribute to copyright infringement. NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "ZDNet urges the big recording industries to stop suing tech investors, and cites the draft legislation that I posted, which would immunize from secondary copyright infringement liability any work done by a director in 'his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or committee thereof,' and any conduct by an investor based solely upon his or her having 'invested in any such corporation, including any oversight, monitoring, or due diligence activities in connection therewith.'"
ethics anyone?
when all you have to lose or invest is dollars, coupled with greed leads to the corrupt value system that seemingly plagues the world.
this is merely my opinion
recent cases of corporate criminal negligence:
pca (the peanut corp)
b madoff
chinese milk scandal
haliburton
british petroleum (BP)
union carbide
etc ad nauseum...
i missed alot but you know corporate greed is what has brought on this financial crisis that is gripping the entire world at this point.
my point? accountability has more to do with ethics and doing what is right by society not the ledger sheet.
so? FUCK YOU TO ALL CORPORATE GREED MONGERS AND ALL WHO ASPIRE TO BE ONE.

I just don't see any reason to try to show you something you acknowledge exists, just so you can say something you've already said, and so I can reply with something I've already said. If you'd wanted to reply to that, perhaps we'd have had something to discuss, but you have yet to choose to address it.
