    "The Red Cross is on to something here."
    F them, they cant actually stop the real life crimes so they need to attack video games.

    Dont worry, you will still be able to waterboard, parade your POW's around naked with potato sacks on their heads, and dogpile said POW's just to take pictures.

    "holed up in your home studio for months"
    "Artwork has to be created. Hard to market music without artwork and photos. Ads need to be created and purchased in magazines and on websites."
    A lot of what you mention gets done simultaneously.

    "Then there's planning and arranging the tour"
    She is not new to this, and you need a release date, which she does not have. I have seen full blown tours come together in weeks.

    "Isn't that why Apple signed with a label in the first place?" Because there were so many other options?

    "Labels exist to promote music." Really? Kind of kills your whole argument.

    Re: Re: Re: Re:

    Doesnt matter, the artist, who they claim to care so much about, wants it released. So she can tour to... you know... actually make money.

    "actually do some research and find out the backstory on what the holdup is"

    Awww. It is so cute you actually believe they would give a straight answer.

    "Pretending Fiona's situation applies to the entire industry is fucking retarded."
    Never heard of Buddy Holly huh?

    when they are not the world government

    You see that is the problem. WE DO think we are the world police. I used to think our world domination aspirations was a Republican Neocon thing, via The Project for A New American Century, in the document Rebuilding America's Defenses as an example. But after watching the Democraps for a while now, it appears to be a bipartisan effort.

    All they needed was:
    Further, the process of transformation,
    even if it brings revolutionary change, is
    likely to be a long one, absent some
    catastrophic and catalyzing event ? like a
    new Pearl Harbor.

    Well, they got what they needed on 9-11.


    Later on:
    Although it may take several decades
    for the process of transformation to unfold,
    in time, the art of warfare on air, land, and
    sea will be vastly different than it is today,
    and ?combat? likely will take place in new
    dimensions: in space, ?cyber-space,? and
    perhaps the world of microbes.

    The most scary:
    perhaps the world of microbes.

    "I can't remember [how to play] any of my new songs because they've been done for a fucking year,"

    So the labels have been denying her the chance to tour as well. So not only are they NOT making a dime from the album, they are denying her the chance to tour, promote the album, and make a living. Nice. Because they care oh so much for the artists.

    Careful

    Careful Mike, pointing out state sponsored terror gets you lumped in with the likes of us Conspiracy theorists. Then, anything you say no matter how true, no matter how much evidence you provide, gets to be dismissed because "he is a conspiracy whacknutjob." (Ive heard them all.) Because conspiracies never happen ya know.

    When I told people 6-7 years ago that this is where we were headed I got told; you are paranoid, a conspiracy theorist, a tin foil hat wearer, and every other derogatory name in the book. Well guess what... I sometimes hate to be right.

    They are putting the squeeze on us, backing us up against a wall, legally and financially. Either by bankrupting the country, or putting place such draconian laws as to really piss ppl off to the point where we take to the streets, or a combination of both, and that will be the end. Those who choose to fight will be swept up in FEMA camps never to be seen again. Those who try to help them will be labeled domestic terrorists, and will meet the same fate. They will have the excuse they need. Continuity of government.

    My company has had to hire three IP liers to fend off patent trolls over the last 6 months. 3) 100,000+ saliries to fight trolls. Would be nice to have that 300,000 for other projects.

    Kind of ironic how you AC's spend countless hours here creating content for TD FOR FREE. (excluding the paid shills.)What's your motivation for doing so?

    Re: Re: Problem solved

    !!!!!!Intellectual dishonesty alert!!!!!!
    That?s because greetards ASS U ME everyone creates for profit.
    "there will be no more content" - Yeah OK AC. There will be no more gatekeeprs. Plenty of content done by smaller entities that don?t have to recoup the ?100million? How quickly you forget about RIAA & MPAA math. Its ok though, we know what you get paid to do.

    Re: Actually, you're in the "group giggling childishly",

    "Nothing wrong with semi-enforcing verbage that your grandmother is comfortable with."
    If she was still alive, she would have had no problems telling you to go fuck yourself.
    Is that a form of "wont someone please think of the children?"

    "2nd, if you had any grasp of how fast computers search and replace text, you'd drop it as an objection. If messages don't get passed on, that's the whole purpose."
    Lets just open letters as well, and while we are at it lets just implant sensors in your head so those word dont even exist. Forget going to Kmart. (584)

    some words are objectionable for mixed audiences.
    By the time most kids are around 11 or 12, and maybe even younger, they know curse words. So once again and again and again, trying to protect them with systems wide censorship just doesnt work.

    OOTB you're such a funny little character.
