The RIAA: Terrorists Themselves?

by shanaka perera May 30, 2006 11:49AM PDT

The RIAA, or Recording Industry Accociation of America, filed many lawsuits against consumers and is currently trying to push some very harsh laws through congress. Tom, Molly, and Veronica repeatedly point out that the Recording Labels are using fear to get what they want. While the RIAA accuses their own consumers of being terrorists, the utter irony is that the accusation really applies to THEIR startegy. The rough definition of "terrorism" is the use of fear to achieve desired results. So their accusations come back to bite them in the ***. What goes around, comes around, right RIAA?

Remember the Movie Starship Troopers ??

I loved how only "citizens" could vote as "The vote was the most powerfull weapon one could weild upon another. It forced losers into submission to the Majority" thus only "citizens" could be trusted with the power to vote and thus force their will upon another

Not matter how we scream peace and Democracy, and the end of the day its still Violence and Force with the strong picking on the weak and survival of the fittest.

New Lables and words ... Same old world.

Its all still just Cain and Able with different names.
