DMCA = Nothing

Google received a Digital Millennium Copyright Act warning for this blog post. One of the bands I posted must have found out that people want to listen to their music, and wanted to put a stop to that as soon as possible.

So anyways I removed the links. However, if you would still like to obtain an infinitely and freely replicable copy of the music in question, simply navigate to your favorite torrent cataloging site (mine is Scrapetorrent), search for the band or album name in the search bar, click the link entailing the most audio fidelity and largest number of peers, download the torrent file, open it with your favorite torrent program (mine is uTorrent), and acquire said free information.

The next step must be unceasingly sustained: remember that you are free to exist in whatever way you feel that you must. Manifest the realization that there is no man-made power in place with the legitimate authority to control your destiny. Spiritual-intellectual transcendence of the frameworks of domination put in place by the predominate cultural and institutional climate is the one and only origin of physical liberation. Masters derive their power from slaves. But those always in rebellion are never slaves.

And how could we have known this if not for the free exchange of information? Who would both possess this knowledge and be miserly enough to sell it? No one, I think.

Also,

The music IS free. Can't you see that? I'm honestly sorry that you worked many hours producing something that is categorically not scarce with the false hope of financing your early retirement, but the market will not bare charging a fee for something that does not consume resource-value to re-produce.

And that's beautiful! Humanity has been evolving a new organ for thousands of years; an envelope of information surrounding the planet, enfolding us in its liberating and inspiring vortex of novelty and art, crowning nature with a crown of exponentially more and more dense sub-universes of new human experience and thought.

But you want to tell us that we can't have it? Because it costs to much!? Your God damned miserly profit seeking leach-like status que enforcing counter-creativity bureau-zombie producing RICH-ASS company needs me to buy it? To whose benefit? As long as we're playing that game (seeking self-interest), its in MY self interest just to go ahead and effortlessly grab the information literally floating around in the air. I win!

  1. I'm on board with being charged less for digital content (after all, a lot of the cost of production has been removed), but at the same time, I believe it would be fair to compensate the original author of said digital content for the effort they expended to create it.

    I feel the following image has a valid point: http://i.imgur.com/lJbc3.jpg

  2. Ya, and you know what else. Frankly i just wish copyrighting wasn't so expensive. One time i made this really cool shadow puppet and it took me weeks to perfect it and then i saw my wife totally do it for some friends of ours. That's fucked. And even worse is this whole blog. As far as i can tell all that you do is rip off other people. I mean, do you pay these people! No! You just take. Don't you understand that if two people create the same thing but one copyrights it and demands he gets paid then you HAVE to pay up. I mean really. And another thing Libraries are just wrong! I mean how will all the countless effort put in by the writers of the L Word ever get paid if people just keep renting it from the library. Also Jesus fish came out of no where they weren't copies. The author of this blog clearly doesn't understand how little money people would have with out owning whatever they come up with. And lets face it a world where every one is not getting paid is a world where there is no point in doing anything because then how are we supposed to live. What are people just going to give out food for free just because some one gave them music. Maybe you should think about this harder mr. blog guy.
