Lets curse them to stop selling any dvds and cds and RMA go BROKE!
And lets wish musicians to sell their songs BY THEMSELVES, only online in customer-friendly prices taking the FULL price not just 5-7% and not having to deal again with shitbags, shitcompanies and shitorganizations like IRMA!

The Record Labels’ stupidity does indeed seem to be quite infectious.

There has to be a better way.

The sooner EU legislation is brought in to deal with this sort of legalised extortion the better. IRMA haven’t a leg to stand on and only won their case against Eircom because Eircom are as spineless as they are inept.

I often wonder how much monet the RIAA has wasted taking cases against moms and dead grannies. High profile legal eagles don;t come cheap. Surely that money would have been better spent going to the starving artists off whose talent these leeches live off.

And don’t get me started on IMRO (the royalty collectors/protection racketeers). I have no affiliation with them nor would I ever. yet if I were to play in a pub here the owner would have to pay them a fee for having me. Why? I won’t see a red cent of it.

I can only hope this insane greed will ultimately eat itself.

Instead of trying to coerce ISPs, why don’t the big boys trying to shut down the file sharers just purchase a controlling interest in the ISP’s or even pay them to control file sharing. If they are in fact losing “billions” because of file sharing, then they ought to be able to easily pay either for a controlling interest in the ISP’s or pay the ISP’s directly because of their sudden revenue windfall if access to torrent sites disappears. That way the ISP’s source of revenue would be from the recording and film industry

I live in Ireland and its a real shame what is happening. Eircom are an extremely weak company and one that has no interest in furthering internet services here. They do not care about, or understand the gravity of their decisions. People just need to avoid companies like this. If it went to court, IRMA would loose as there is zero legislation covering this kind of thing. Good luck to UPC and I hope they follow through on their promise to defend themselves and their users.

When will they just accept that most internet users are file shares and charge us a small premium to download what ever the fu*k we want. That way they could give some of the money to the greedy companies like the IRMA.

I’m just glad my ISP isn’t Eircom, BT Ireland or Chorus. This is getting ridiculous. I’d better start doing some serious downloading and sharing…
