Some people have suggested that we stop buying music. That isnt enough. Not only would we need to convince hundreds of others to stop, but we'd need to stop listening to the radio and pretty much give it up altogether. While possible, its unlikely to work without mass support and lets face it, most people aren't willing to do it. An easier solution is to write your congressional representitives. The URL at the bottom of my message has a listing for every state. But emails are not enough, if youre not broke, shell out for some stamps and mail hardcopies to DC. The RIAA is using congress as a tool to defeat us, we should do the same to them. Congressmen will take notice when all the sudden they are getting hundreds of messages from people in their district about IP, Fair Use, etc...
Jose is not an admirable man. As other posters have mentioned he is quite the opposite.
Some of us may not agree with the idea of big corporations trespassing on individual rights, but this man has gone too far. Has he not trespassed on the most basic right of the woman who was killed? Was her right to live not taken from her? She was not a solider in some war John, but was only an innocent bystander trying to make a buck. How would you like it if your kid or another other close family member or friend died because someone like Jose wanted to make a political statement? The man is a TERRORIST. He is a MURDERER. He is NOT ADMIRABLE. He sure as hell does not represent "american values" unless we've decided that what he did was ok. I'm not even going to mention how insulted I am over your linking this to independence day.
