[ale] AT&T, Comcast to help RIAA's anti piracy efforts

[Jeff Lightner]

While I whole heartedly agree with your comments about Awful Telephone
and Telegraph I can't quite agree with your idea of live performances
being the exclusive way to get music.  

For me music is usually spoiled by live performances due to the crowd
noise be it clinking of glasses/quiet conversation in a small club or
10,000 cheering fans in a stadium setting.   

Also of course for the latter you have to deal with another evil:
Ticket Master!  (It took me awhile to realize the "Master" was because
they viewed artists and fans alikes as their slaves.)

There is no lowest level of filth that AT&T will not aspire to. I'm
certain their involvement include financial compensation from RIAA in
some manner. Given their propensity for avoiding legal due process (no
warrant required) I would advise anyone using any AT&T access to
generate terabytes of random noise mp3 files and bittorrent like
crazy. Send ALL email attachments as torrent links. Send all email
content as torrent links.

And lastly and most importantly: DO NOT SHARE, BUY, DOWNLOAD, SUPPORT,
LISTEN TO OR OTHERWISE ACCESS ANY MUSIC PUBLISHED BY ANY RIAA MEMBER.
EVER.

Walk away from it. If you must have music in your life, attend live
performances and take up an instrument. It is far more rewarding than
a plastic disk ever will be. The only way these geniuses will ever
understand their market has changed will be if they no longer have a
market.

article they could back out of the deal. However, given there track
record in the past I doubt they will backout.
