Uploader Of Guns 'N Roses Album Never Forced To Do RIAA Propaganda; So He Tells The Truth Instead
from the well-how-about-that dept
A year ago, we wrote about the ridiculous situation involving Kevin Cogill, who was sentenced to two months of house arrest. We noted, at the time, that part of the agreement was also that he would produce propaganda for the RIAA. However, a year has passed and he never did the propaganda recording... and he's no longer required to do it. Instead, he's doing interviews where he's saying that people involved in file sharing can get "F'd in the A" by the RIAA. Not quite what the RIAA expected, I guess.
Amusingly, the RIAA's response was that it chose not to have Cogill make the propaganda tapes because of the "unnecessarily high production costs." Leave it to the RIAA -- the organization that pays its boss over $2 million and spends millions on lawsuits that bring nothing back -- to think it's too expensive to record a guy talking. But, perhaps it's telling. Maybe the folks at the RIAA really don't recognize the revolution in recording equipment that makes it rather cheap to record things these days. No wonder their strategy has been so screwed up!

Maybe they were worried he'd blink out his 'f'd in the a by the riaa' message in Morse code?
Maybe they just forgot?

Guy does propaganda Free
Telling the world you are too cheap to afford to use your own assets but instead use the assets of the government? Priceless.

RIAA:
"If Mr Cogill would not have pre-released the record to the leeches of the file sharing community we could have potentially sold another 100 copies of that crap"

This is pretty much how the RIAA would want the world to be. In an ideal world they would have their jihadists put crosshairs on our politicians forcing them to change the laws so that the RIAA can do whatever they want, and forcing our government officials and the presses to read/publish their propaganda.
Oops, too late. They already do this. *sigh*

Nullifying your own propaganda
Is there any express stipulation in the sentence that would prohibit that? And if so, how about doing so afterward when the house arrest or probation is over?
