  Re:

  We are living in the most creative time ever, in spite of the most repressive copyright regimes ever, thanks to the technological innovations the aforementioned regime wishes so dearly to stifle.
  
  It's a triumph of human creativity.

  Re:

  Do you have "Maybe if the _________ didn't attempt to screw over millions of copyright holders things would be very different" set up on a hotkey for Kwik-n-EZ shill posting, or is typing it some kinda really complicated series of muscle spasms your doctors haven't been able to get under control?

  "Our Credo challenges us to put the needs and well-being of the people we serve first."
  
  That would be the shareholders they're referring to, which puts their behavior smartly in line with their mission statement.

• On the post: Washington Post Column Incredulous That Congress Is Considering Censoring The Internet

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: "That is how you use this bill to censor"

  You comment on Techdirt because you're too cheap to have a locally available professional dominatrix satisfy your masochistic need to be publicly humiliated, right?

• On the post: Hanging Out For Free Is Piracy

  

  Kaden ( profile ), 09 Nov, 2011 @ 06:10am

  Re: Re: Re:

  So you don't see it as a commentary on how Big Content slathers the grim specter of piracy on top of every spurious cash grab initiative in an attempt to harness moral outrage as a societal lubricant?
  
  Because that's what I see.

  Re:

  When all you have is talking points, everything looks like an attempt to justify piracy.

• On the post: Aesop Rock Admits That Copying Others Is How He Makes Music

  

  Kaden ( profile ), 08 Nov, 2011 @ 02:57pm

  It's hard to imagine how barren the musical landscape would be today if the first schmuck who tripped over a I-IV-V chord progression had been ceded total control over it's subsequent usage.

• On the post: Why The Internet Has Been Awesome For Both Musical Artists and Fans

  

  Kaden ( profile ), 04 Nov, 2011 @ 02:16pm

  Back in the '70's, I was making a proper living on the road playing 70/30 covers/originals in bar bands. Saturday Night Fever happened, and all of a sudden one guy with 2 turntables and a couple of crates of records replaced countless '5 musicians and a roadie/soundman' bands as the entertainment of choice in bars. For working musicians, that market changed overnight and never really returned.
  
  Fucking DJs and their fucking records...

  Re: Re: Re:

  I thought this post was related to the relentless secrecy surrounding treaty negotiations. Such noble legislation should occur in the full light of day where its purity of purpose can serve as moral inspiration for us all.

  Re:

  A good first effort, but that should be 'Pirate mikee', and you need to keep your buzzword content current. Think 'BROADBRUSH', and remember to maintain some kind of fixation on Marcus Carab.
