Copyright infringement is a civil not a criminal matter it is not up to the taxpayer to fund people who think they are being infringed on.The Mafariaa has paid off many US politicians how else can you explain their rabid attack into what is a civil not criminal matter!!!

The lawyers have infiltrated our judicial system, partially nullifying it.

Get ready for the end times folks, USA is on its way to destroying itself. As someone wise once told me--
"tuck your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye!"

I have been trying to buy some music (not rap, punk or metal) and what ever else Australian noise industry passes for music these days.

Majority of the titles I wont have been ‘deleted’ or ‘not for sale’ in Australia. This is the official line from representatives from all big CD stores in Sydney. Smaller stores purchase from the same catalogue so same story there.

The irony is, it would actually be cheaper to order 10 CDs from US or EU and have them air mailed me then going to the store and paying $30+ for each disk. The only problem is, I don’t buy CDs in lots of 10 but one or two at a time.

Surprisingly, it is still illegal to download music that is ‘deleted’ or ‘not for sale’. Why? Who exactly misses out on music that I can’t buy?

I believe the RIAA are already full of cocaine. buds will just bounce off them.

Carpet bomb the USA with BC bud.

I think the U.S. has lost the pulpit on specifying how other countries should run themselves. Excessive fining and jailing of small time copyright infringers while letting big time financial criminals take over the country is not something anyone should be harping about especially in these cash-poor consumer times.

Otoh, maybe it's not about totalitarian control by the RIAA of the individual this time but a matter of economics being that it's one of the few profitable U.S. industries that provides a product that is sold to other countries to help offset trade imbalances.

Is Obama's choice for vice president, Joe Biden, has been in the pocket of the media lobbyists for quite some time.

Well if I was an inhabitant of china or russia and i'm on £2 a day I for one would not buy a reatail copy of anything that is over a weeks wages.

It's like us spending £100 for a CD or DVD.

Get real RIAA.

...Obama's Justice Department (including two top jobs) is stuffed full of RIAA lawyers.

The RIAA is your typical lobby.

If they can ask for something, they 'll ask for it. If they can sue someone, they 'll sue him. They 'll keep demanding until they get what they want. Typical lobbyists.

"Who knows, it might succeed" appears to be their motto. "The more pressure we put, the better". "They 'll bend eventually and listen to our ridiculous demands".

They know Obama doesn't give a shit about their copyrights (and well he does). They know the draconian internet monitoring measures they are asking are outright ridiculous for such a silly crime as copyright infringement. But... if by some rare diabolic coincidence Obama listens to them and really asks from Spain to tighten copyright laws? That will be a success for them. And that's why they keep demanding. Because there is still an one in a billion chance they might actually see their ridiculous demands be fulfilled.

Too pity this kind of thinking has grown old these days. The lobbyist way has gone down along with other conservative values that plagued the US the last decade... Thank god.
