The ire I am feeling right now towards the RIAA cannot truly be represented here.
The first question I have is, besides being run by big-ass corporations with large sums of cash, how does the RIAA have any real power? They are not a government, correct? So where do these guys get off acting like this?
People comment frequently about the coporation of America, and about globalization and how it should not be. Surely there is more we can do other than protest/riot outside of globalization meetings, and rant and rave about how we're not gonna buy RIAA sanctioned albums/CD's, because we keep buying them, and we keep buying goods from the companies supporting globalization.
The DMCA is a sad affair, and it makes me sick to see that the good professor has given into the legal bullying of the RIAA. Perhaps it was mandated by the university to him, I don't know.
There must be a better way to make ourselves truly heard.
