I'm sorry to say it, but I honestly think most of you guys (and/or gals) are wasting your breath talking about "fixing" America. "The hour is later than you think." comes to mind. America's cold dead corpse lies on the ground, bleeding from the neck, because the coup de grace was executed years ago. Sometimes you have to abandon the bodies of your dead, and escape to survive another day. It's close becoming time to abandon the corpse of America.
This is offtopic I am aware but this just struck a cord...@otherland"And sorry but I have the right to vote in accordance to basic human morality. Your kind is fine with pluralism until someone disagrees with you."How dare you speak of basic human morality and call someone a racial slur in the same conversation your ignorant f**k.
@digitalsinMoral code in Capitalism?Let's not get things mixed up here.We are talking about an obsolete business model looking for Government protection at the expense of the citizens rights.There is still plenty of opportunities to make money out of entertainment without resorting to pass ludicrous laws aimed to inflict undue punishments to unsuspecting consumers. The problem here is that GREED has blinded these so call movers and shakers, In other words greed has taking over because worshiping the mighty dollar is more important than protecting our children.Capitalism is not a perfect system but this is evidence of an industry running amok.
Though I agree it is wrong for the **AA's to be allowed to pass laws in order to protect their abilities to make exorbadent amounts of money at the expense of the average citizen, breaking the law (or at least coming entirely to close to it) through means such as pirating simply is not the way to combat the problem. Let's instead refocus our energy on organizing large scale boycotts or other protests that are unquestionably within our rights as American citizens. Just my two cents...
This is ridiculous yet not surprising after seeing what the RIAA and MPAA have attempted in the past few years. Instead of working with the law enforcement and the general public they have decided to buy another law. They need to stop buying congressman and complaining how they are losing millions of dollars and start to put out good music at a reasonable price and quit giving us crap in the theaters. In the end I would say I'm going to boycott both industries but I don't give them any of my money anyways. There is better stuff out there at a lower price, some is even free. On a side note...anyone have an idea of how much a Congressman costs?
I think this is ridiculous that this might go in effect (or will it?) I mean if it's that bad I might as well just walk in to my favorite computer shop and steal their software... and the punishment wouldn't be a slap on the wrist compared to 10 years in jail?!?!I myself live is Canada and I love this country, we can download our music (legal up to now), smoke my weed, drink younger, and pirate as much software as I want... ;)Cheers.

No doubt as a reaction to all the bad press he's been giving record labels, Universal/Interscope has relieved Trent Reznor of his contractual duties.<a class="user" href="http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-d/">http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-d/</a><a class="user" href="http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-e/">http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-e/</a><a class="user" href="http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-f/">http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-f/</a><a class="user" href="http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-g/">http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-g/</a><a class="user" href="http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-h/">http://mp3away.com/letters-mp3-h/</a>
