help me spread the word! i'm deffinatly on the boycott
bandwagon. I can't believe that they got AG to shut down.
What's next? Soulseek? Kazaa? then what? internet MB's and
groups where the disscussion or, or meere mention of trading
mp3's are shut down?! We need to take a stand PPL!

if everyone thinks that someone else will do it instead,
then noone will!

You are right nanotech: shutting file sharing services down
is the same as busting us in the street for trying to give
our friend a burned cdr copy of our favourite album. Fucking
corporations.

if I loose Kazaa, I think Ill die, its such a convienent
program, music, software, and porn all in one package.
Although I think the programmers will get right to work
developing something else.

What the guys here don't seem to realise is that the majors
do actually do a good job. If all you guys stop buying their
stuff people would loose their jobs. Do you really want
that? Could you put your hand on your heart and say I am not
buying Britney and I love making people unemployed? Just
think of the consequneces guys. If you don't buy from a
small independant lable that is OK because only a few people
will loose their jobs, but imagine how many people work for
a major. So guys keep people emplyed and BUY MORE BRITNEY.

Argh, yes, correct, how stupid of me not to see that *slaps
his forehead*. I'm off to buy several CD's by various majors
so I may contribute to a wider population. While I'm at it,
I'll run some people over with my company car to also keep
medical workers busy. Community needs us.
