Episode 15- The Dark Side of the Music Industry: 5 BIG mistakes 10/3/2008

Episode 15 - The Dark Side of the Music Industry: 5 BIG mistakes 10/3/2008 We promised a feature podcast on the first Thursday of each month where we take one issue and go in depth with related issues and important facts. This week, we take on the Dark Side of the Music Industry: the RIAA and their bully arm, MediaSentry. It's time to reveal the consequences of their negative policies and stand up against them! Their five BIG mistakes: 1. How they're finding us... by invading our privacy illegally 2. Who they're targeting... mostly the poor (including a homeless man!) who can't afford legal fees and must accept bankrupting settlements 3. Why they're not popular... (even on Wall Street) they alienate and attack their own customers and ignore the wishes of their share/stockholders 4. What is their impact on the environment... Anti-Green practices harm the environment AND feed our addiction to oil 5. Who they're in bed with... politicians (on both sides of the aisle) who could care less that their constituents' tax dollars will go to waste Finally, we're going to tell you what we can do to stop this nonsense. We're going to show politicians that when they unite to give us bad legislation, we will unite to stop them. It's not about Democrats and Republicans or liberals and conservatives. It's about us, the people. Extras in this week's podcast: - The Tech Byte Update with Ethan Clark - Another intense round of Stump ChaCha - New anti-RIAA/DRM album of the week! - "Ruscue Me" is a free song by Run Kid Run.
