RIAA voted worst company in America

Tuesday, Mar. 20 2007 | Author: Griffith

All of you readers who love (to hate) the RIAA will be happy to know that the final result from the Consumerist blog’s poll, for worst company of the year is in, and RIAA won the Worst Company in America 2007 award.

Consumerist will be sending them the Lucky Golden Shit trophy, and you can congratulate them yourselves by giving them a call with one of their numbers.

Although I think that piracy should fought, the way that the RIAA does it is unacceptable. The people who listen to music don’t want to be limited on where or how they can listen to their music, nor expensive prices. I think that the industry itself is responsible for disregard that people show for the artist’s rights, because of the fancy videos that some artists make and the ways with which they alienate the customers who legitimately purchase albums (with copy protections, etc, etc).

Griffith is the worst writer ever.

Focusing on the topic written about, I agree completely. The RIAA is going about fighting piracy in the worst possible way. Naturally when people are presented with a new way of getting the music they want to listen to and discovering new music, they’re going to take advantage of it.

I should think the RIAA’s time and money would be better spent searching for new ways to encourage the legal purchase and distribution of music in the digital format. Especially after hearing their latest attempt at trying to pass legislation that will require streaming internet radio sites to pay upwards of triple the amount of fees to labels for streaming their music.

The RIAA is a block and a half behind the parade and marching backwards as they have been for the last several years.

You Americans need to get your act together. You live under a terrorist regime with a government that you have empowered to strip you of all human rights without provocation or explanation. You routinely destroy the hopes and dreams of thousands of innocents with your marches of power across foreign lands. You strip even your countrymen of their humanity with your zealous hate mentality. If you are truly so dissatisfied with your government, do something about it. You have gforgotten your power. You can remove your government. In fact you President, the lunatic Bush, should be impeached and brought up on charges of crimes against humanity. Why have you not done this. I am a Canadian and what I see happening south of my borders gives me cause for concern about my future freedom. If you Americans continue to allow fascist dictaytors to sieze power, you will soon find that the world is in fact out to get you. Currently, you only suffer from the collective delusion that the world is out to get America. Take the power back, you people of the USA, and regain the respect of your fellow humans across the planet. Surely, you must know, what the rest of the world thinks of Americans. Peace to you and I do hope you get that mess sorted soon.
