Warner Music, Vivendi Universal, EMI and Sony BMG's BPI (British Phonographic Industry) is cynically chivying UK foreign secretary Margaret Beckett to get Russian president Vladimir Putin to stomp p2p download site AllofMP3.com at the G8 meeting slated to start today.

No, it's not a spoof and, “The G8 meetings - especially THIS ONE! - is not the place for this type of action or lobbying,” posts catflap in a Reader's Write. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

G8 meeting is not a p2pnetforum or an "open mic night" for the cartels

The bastards who operate the BPI (RIAA, MPAA, etc. are probably in on this too), have shown by their request (read "order") that Beckett pressure Russia to close Allofmp3.com - a legal business - that they have absolutely no regard for human life, dignity, or the pursuit of peace and happiness in the world.

Their only regard is for profit and how to monopolise their respective industries, squeezing out competition and milking customers dry.

When war is raging between Israel, Gaza, and the Hezbollah in Lebanon...when civil war is going on in Iraq, Somalia and Ethiopia...when freedoms and human rights are being taken away from POWs in US custody...the cartels only think of themselves and their stockholders, and not the lives of the people - innocent and guilty, civilian and miltary, and children - who are being killed and tortured daily.

The aim of G8 meetings - especially THIS ONE! - is not to highlight issues of the thieving, lying multinational corporations in the entertainment industry. Their job, their ONLY job - especially at THIS G8 MEETING! - is to look for ways to stop the killing and torture and other human rights abuses in order to bring peace and stability (even pockets of it) to the world - if that's at all possible.

A G8 meeting is not a forum or an "open mic night" for the cartels to spout their lies and complain that filesharing or cheaper alternatives are ruining their business.

Take a look at the news headlines and see what's happening in the real world.

I'm not a fan of the NWO and don't agree with ninety-nine percent of what they do, but at least let them try to do their jobs without you bastards elbowing your way into government policy.

To paraphrase from "Casablanca":

"It doesn't take much to see that the problems of the thieving, lying BPI (and other entertainment cartels) bastards don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday they'll understand that."

(To Warner: Just try and sue me for copyright infringement for paraphrasing a quote from a film that's in the collective consciousness of the world. The quote is readily available on thousands of websites. You wanna sue anyone, start with Google.

And to the BPI and other bastard cartel members: I'd like to see you sue me for libel and defamation. Just try it and see where it gets you.)
