ASCAP Starts To Act Like the RIAA
Scott Lockwood writes "Below Average Dave, a Dr. Demento style parody artist, has been shut down by the ASCAP. This collective, acting as badly as the RIAA, is now attempting to ignore the 2 Live Crew Supreme Court decision that parodies are new derivative works. Just like the RIAA, ASCAP seems intent on misrepresents the law. If you know anyone who can help BA Dave in his plight, please contact him." This artist doesn't have the resources to fight the ASCAP, even though the law is pretty clearly on his side. Anyone at the EFF or the ACLU interested?
Which is why I suggest using another mafia tactic against them and simply assassinating both their executives and their lawyers. They can't use these organized crime tactics if they're dead.
Well, you obviously bought the *AA's bullshit line, by your reference to "IP theft", so maybe he should kill you, too. Piss off.
I kinda have to agree with Damien here... The citizens of the US have allowed the liberal left to bully them into a corner. The liberal left is in control of many States and most definitely the Federal government.
The biggest problem is that the liberal left is hell bent on creating new laws that increase their office's revenue/power, while at the same time ignoring all laws and even going so far as to create new laws that claim they are immune to all laws *cough* Pbo *cough*.
The people of my country (the USA) have had to spill English blood and shed their own blood to found it's existence. We had to kill each other and spill each others blood to solidify our existence. Somehow, after the Vietnam War, we allowed ourselves to be infiltrated by extreme left wing liberals, and they have their hearts and minds set on polarizing our nation.
I am really afraid that this has already gone so far, that it can't be stopped by any other means than overthrowing of the Federal government or by having a Civil War II. I think overthrowing our current government would cost a lot less in terms of human life, but I honestly think that the liberal left has successfully brainwashed a large portion of the the US population that needs to be cut loose (killed) or forced to go through an ideals reform.
Either way, I am proud to be a free speaker and I exercise that right daily. I am proud to be a gun owner and I exercise that right almost daily. Like my ancestors before me, I would gladly kill my own siblings to correct the situation; that's how strongly I feel about these issues.
I feel that because many of you /. are liberal lefties I must state that although this post makes me sound like it, I am not a heartless bastard. I still love my sibling. However, I would still kill her if I thought it meant saving the traditions and customs of the country I was born in (and love as much as any person I have ever loved).
If you can read this, thank a teacher. Since it's in English, thank a US soldier.
