joctane Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 I am a lawyer, and therefore could hardly disagree with the premise that the law should be enforced. But there is a side to this dispute that nobody ever discusses, and it leads me to conclude that the RIAA and its member companies and the pirates deserve each other, and I will watch their destruction of each other with amusement and without sympathy for either. The record industry publishes some of the most vile filth available, sells it to teenagers and then smirks all the way to the bank. I won't recite some of the "lyrics" of rap "music" because I assume you know what I mean. As I understand it, the industry smugly states that there's a demand for their product and they're going to fill it, and there is, after all, a First Amendment to the Constitution. My reaction is that there's a demand for kiddie porn too, and we don't have much sympathy for those pornographers when they get dragged off to jail. Bankruptcy is too little punishment for some of these record companies. It's too bad we don't tar and feather people anymore. Thanks again for the thoughtful article. I just wish someone would call these people what they are: pornographers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
