The Biggest Farce in the History of the World

April 9th, 2008

You may wonder why I haven’t been writing much about DRM or Big Media. You may even miss my vitriolic rants against the sheer, mind-boggling stupidity of the recording industry and my anarchist Internet beliefs….

But the simple fact of the matter is: the RIAA, the entire recording industry (both in America and abroad), and the MPAA—Big Media in general—have made such a pitiable laughingstock of themselves that I simply ran out of vitriol. Spewing righteous hate at those industries is almost meaningless now, as they have shamed themselves so dramatically in so many ways that I literally haven’t a thing left to say about them.

I mean, Universal is now saying that the promo discs they send out belong entirely to them, and you’re breaking the law if you throw one out.

What the hell can I possibly say about that? It’s so ridiculous it has literally left me speechless. And do you people have any idea how incredibly difficult that is?!
