RIAA To Target CD-R
·
· Score: 1
Don't use any products sold by these companies. Everybody wants to complain about this and that but do people actually practice what they preach? Every day I am infuriated by the atrocities committed by large corporations all in the name of GREED. At first my anger is focused towards those entities committing these crimes, but after some thought, it becomes obvious that these same corporations would be almost powerless if the PEOPLE did not buy their products. As I have been taught (paraphrased), the road to liberty is paved in blood, not necessarily the blood that spills from us, but the blood of tireless labour and vigilance against tyranny.
Unfortunately, I fear that we will never win this battle. Each and every one of us continues to commit treason against freedom at some point by giving in to those we seek to fight against. How many of you have bought a CD released by a major label, or have purchased or used some software product created by backers of the DMCA? When was the last time you ate a MacDonalds hamburger or chicken from KFC. So long as we continue to do compromise like this, we justify the methods by which these corporations function. By working for these companies, or companies that use their products, or vote for politicians that support unconstitutional legislation, they will not change their ways.
No revolution has been one by complaining about the king. You will only loose your head doing so. Actions, on the other hand (warning: CLICHE) speak louder then words.
