  • If I invent something, get a patent for it, which means it has been determined to be new and useful, I only get 10 years to claim ownership. After that it's free for all to copy and use. Regardless of whether it's outdated or not. RIAA, however, gets to keep copyrights indefinitely even for crap like Jay-z, Britney Spears etc.

  • @rechitsapivo That's probably because they're able to buy lawmakers and politicians. The same people who wrote that poorly-written DMCA.

  • Heh cute and closer to the truth than you might think.

  • i have over 2k songs downloaded for free and i've shared them with about 15 other people. life's good! HAHAHAH

  • Look theres another way.. Actually theres a new format about to emerge, one that will change music forever, the (3i) format. which I am not at liberty to discuss. But I tell you this, your going to see a change, The 6 companies who are creating this are keeping it under wraps to avoid and aquisition, the way that it works is sick! All the artist will basically force the industry to do it because its what they want, youll see

  • "No one calls a scientist a liar. Unless they're talking about evolution..."

    Oh boy, here we go..

  • This is exactly what I was thinking. The RIAA makes more money off a single lawsuit than they do off a million CDs. So basically they screw us until we stop paying and then they take all our money. I hate those greedy corporate bastards.

  • hey hey hey fuck the RIAA

  • i dont see how the riaa sleeps at night knowing that they're destroying peoples lives because they didn't shell out $10 for an album. hopefully 30 years in the future the riaa will be a bad memory long forgotten.

  • The record companies that are clutching to an older market system need to realise they are obsolete.

    They have no business being the middleman anymore. Technology has made these companies obsolete. It is an artist-centric system - no middleman required.

    Many artists have made the new system work very well for them by relying on live shows through touring to generate revenue through merchandise like t-shirts.

  • Recordings via MP3s are nearly the advertisement for the artist, offered for free in a digitally viral manner. It's a way to generate a following and establish an artistic brand.

    The record companies need to save their final few cents and stop lobbying the NZ government.

    They have hampered creativity for far too long. They should invest in venues, because that is where artist-based revenue will be generated from here on out.

  • "Curses!"

  • dude you have a writing gift.

    keep up the good work.

  • These assholes are already making a few million dollars a month, but that's apparently not enough for them.

  • my theory on the RIAA can't sue no more because someone was able to prove that suing was a fraud to gain money for the government and the isp gets a cut of that money so all this suing is just to get richer

  • When you buy a cd, the actual artist gets a few pennies. Thats it. Corporate criminals get the rest of the money...so NEVER pay for music.

    If you want to support the artist then buy a ticket to their next show and support THEM...not the RIAA.

  • I completely agree...The artists get only like 20% of the album sales. Once the RIAA and the big labels go bust the music industry will be a lot better off.

  • @himynamestravis 20? I heard it was 8 :(

  • LOL. I guess chain-letters have evolved. Though this one somehow reminds me of the movie "The Ring."

  • Awsome

  • i think paying that much for RIAA, if i was incharge id just make them for pay for the song not 9k or w/e for each song. and maybe a dime for each pirated song :o.

  • The RIAA is supposed to represent the musicians, and it seems they only represent themselves. When musicians do give away their music to promote themselves, I know it pisses them off. But the entire reason the major labels are doing horrible and CD sales have been steadily dropping since 2000 is because theres no way to stop digital sharing.

  • RIAA WHO

  • A) I don't.

    B) The problem is way bigger.

  • if you hold that idea to be true- you are goddamn motherfucking moron.

    Artists make their money on the tour, not the cd- and those jew bastards need to start paying the artists on the CD as well- and stop confusing stupid peasants like yourself into supporting their nazi attacks.

  • lol Who are to judge, tree hugger! Soundscan statistics show that record sales were up when music was free & legal.  Look it up & see for yourself. There has been cases of this before, such as when the VCR recorder first came out, movie industries feared they were going to lose revenue.

    Its because of people s like you why the music industry in suffering so much. RIAA only shot themselves in the foot when they issued that law.

    *continues*

  • *continued*

    Now its much harder for musician & composers to get paid for the music. I wonder what's next huh. Are people going to have to pay for downloading .jpg & .gif images online.

    FYI: The majority of money artists make are from advertisement, concerts, & merchandise. Only 8% comes from record sales. When you buy a song, your paying the record label.

    Next time do some research before you post something with me nazi-activist!

  • You just contradicted yourself like crazy, man. You originally said, "If you support legalizing downloading music for free, then you are the problem!" and your last posts show that only 8% of what an artist gets paid is from record sales.

    Then who really cares? Not that I really see either viewpoint as completely 100% correct, but if you are so against downloading but don't think paying helps artists... what is your point?

  • There has been cases of copyright before:

    1. 1920s - When the radio was 1st invented, companies feared they were going to lose revenue because people were listening to the artists' tracks without paying/buying the record. By the time, the radio was new to the recording industry---a law was then passed which made it illegal to have possession of a radio. Congress later repelled that law around the 1950s after WWII.

    2. 1970s - The VCR recorder was invented.

    *continues*

  • It was new to the industry & the MPAA feared they were going to lose revenue, since people could record any thing on TV & watch it at anytime. A law was later passed which made it illegal to hold possession of a VCR recorder. Congress later repelled that la in the 1980s after seeing increase in market sales & after Ronald Reagean increased the value of the dollar.

    3. Around 1990s - Some software programmers created "freeware"

    *continues*

  • Freeware was new software (that was & still is free)at the time. Large major companies feared they were going to lose revenue due to small companies offering similar software, but at a free cost. This case did not last very long, since not many Internet users were familiar with freeware, as a result, the bill & the case was later dismissed.

    Copyright is good, but when there is too much of it, it hurts the economy. The issue on downloading music is no different from these past cases.

  • I'm buying music right now & I'm not enjoying it one little bit b/c of the RIAA. I honestly hate paying a $1.07 per song on iTunes! If anyone is to blame for low record sales, its the RIAA.

  • So you mean... this is history repeating it's self? Oh man!... o_o

    Money, money, money...these people make me sick, and the recording companies are not even the ones who are singing or producing music but yet they make all the money, it's shear greed!

  • Yup.

    UPDATE: I just heard that the RIAA is now trying to use ISPs to stop P2P users, instead of suing those who share on p2p.

  • Did you know they're a non-profit organization who don't pay their taxes??? Yeah RIAA sucks shit

  • Who really cares? The costumers really care. And from what I have seen, you either support the RIAA, or you don't. I don't support them because they have only worsen matters for the entertainment indusrty. Heck! Canada's record sales are higher than the US, but that's because their government legaized P2P file sharing. Users only pay 1 monthly fee & can download as many songs as they want!

    Your enthusiasum can't save you from my research & statistics!

  • preach on DJ! You are so right

  • Record sales were up in those days because not as many people had computers. in 2000 CD sales peaked and have been steadily dropping every year since, because more and more people get computers every year. The indies are organizing and going into a pretty hostile takeover of most of the market because people are open to anything they can find online now, instead of what the media gets from the major labels. So, the majors are on their way out, its all gunna be paid for by advertising soon.

  • I hope so because I find paying for music a stupid idea But your wrong: P2P was invented in 1992 (that's the same year dailup was invented). The main reason why record sales dropped was because Labels did not sell as much singles as they did in 2001 When you sell less singles, your going to get less money Many music fans downloaded a couple songs & if they liked the album, they bought it The RIAA is just blaming everyone but themselves for their losses in revenue Now their blaming radio.

  • your fucking stupid no one downloads music and then goes and buyes the music.

  • n00b!

    The statistics prove it! There are some polls out there that prove my case, search it up!

  • i know for a fact i do also i know charles trippy does pirate now love the band buy a hard copy

  • also SOME PEOPLE like the artists to profit but like to get the albums early because were that awesome

  • YouTvbeSucksMyCock is a goddamn penis-loving, gay-loving, mofo-fucking, nazi-worshiping, brainwashed-motherfucker with his brain up his ass!

    I took economics, sorry, YOU FAIL!

  • @DJBrokenHigh stfu you cunt everybody iligally downloads music.

  • @DJBrokenHigh I'm with you. Downloading it for free is wrong. If you pay for a legit copy, then I think you have a right to do whatever you want with it. But for personal usage only.

  • whats RIAA

  • Recording Industry Association of America

  • @mlk639 a Really Inept Assorted A-holes

  • South park did it you fag.

  • Be careful with your downloading is all I'm saying.

  • Gotcha. But do you think what your boss character is saying is what's actually going on?

  • very good!

  • another excellent video!! (but were them some skips in the audio? or has the RIAA hacked into my harddrive to make it sound like it skips?)

  • Something messed up - I don't know what. I've never had a video mess up on YouTube before, but the one on my hard drive is fine. Glad you liked it!

  • Like I said, it is obvious hack done by the RIAA in cahoots with YT! So sorry for you cuz this is another one of your classics.

  • It will be on Blu-Ray next year, so whatever, right!

  • And here i was hoping it might be released on beta-max

  • Your hopes have been crushed, then. I don't even know if I can buy Alladin on beta-max... or if I ever could!

  • lol that was pretty good

  • hmmmm if everyone had that texture in real life things would be a lot easier sanity wise.hmmmm yes. we'd watch these things on tv called cartoons,which contain fleshy images of non cartoony real people hehehe

  • so i herd u liek dem mudkipz?

  • u herd write

  • I think reading your responses, might sometimes be funnier than watching your videos. Not shooting the vids down, they are hilarious.

  • Oh, they are a HUGE reason why I do these things.

  • 9k$ for having file format music? O_o This is madness or pseudo-communism.

  • Good work peter.

    I laugh at all the rambles I see on YouTube comments, its like a virus now.

  • Oh dude, you have no idea. It's wonderful. Thanks you crazy Aussie.

  • fuckin rubbish

  • Please use an apostrophe if you intend to drop the "g" from "fucking." It indicates that you intended to use it and therefore know how to spell the word but simply prefer to spell like people talk.

  • you're a FUCKIN idiot go fuck yourself ya stupid cunt

  • PLEASE USE AN APOSTROPHE, SIR. We wouldn't want to disgrace our beautiful heritage as Anglo-Saxon Americans.

  • you're so funny pete lol

  • I always get confused on this point of gramar. Is fucking a verb a verb or an adjective? For example, the sentence: "Minnie is Fucking Goofy" refers to Mickey's girl having sex with his friend.

  • its either a verb or an adVERB

  • Ok Master Yoda. Please enlighten your young padiwan by using the term "fucking" as an adverb in a sentence.

  • OMG, what kind of education did you have??! "Minnie is fucking hot" hot is the adjective here, since it defines Minnie, fucking IS the adverb here, since it defines the adjective......you don't get it, hm?

  • I would say either a verb or an adjective.

    Verb: "Minnie is fucking Goofy."

    Adjective: "Minnie is fucking hot."

  • thanks GirthMeatlog. However, for some reason Master Yoda instructs us that it can be used as an adverb. I await the great Jedi's reply.

  • Master Yoda is small.

  • But with in matters of gramar trust master yoda do i not.

  • actually, if you have taken english in high school, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT IN THE SECOND SENTENCE, "Fucking" is an adverb! (it is modifying 'hot', which is an adjective. Adjectives do not modify other adjectives, only nouns. Adverbs modify adjectives, adverbs, and verbs).

    so StarWarsVids aka Master Yoda is correct!

  • No, no, I'm going to have to agree with Girth Meatlog, for he is my other account.

  • I've become a blind follower of the 'Coffin' movement. Too spiked to turn of the music and watch the vid. yet 5 stars it is. Oh well, every movement needs it's steady base of blind asskissers.

    I'll watch it later though, but..woot i got mail! Gotta respond ya know.

  • Good to know you are a blind follower. DVDs and T-Shirts don't buy themselves!

    Haha, what a sellout jackass I am.

  • you're a fuckin retard

  • Good social commentary!

  • Thanks dude!

  • cool animation, did u do the voices?

  • Yes I did! Glad you liked it.

  • stop sending me videos ya fuckin freak, they're rubbish

  • lol xD!

  • Thanks man!

  • you're not funny so give it up

  • Give it up? Did someone famous enter the room? Should I be applauding?

  • thats not funny

  • Oh...My...GOD!

    Oh wait i'm an atheist i don't have a god...

    Shocking...But yet soo funny...

    I'm all confused now...

  • At least it was funny! Thanks.

  • and ur proud of it, ur not an atheist, atheists dont speak or say or write the word god

  • Wow,you act as if you would actually know something about me.

    And you actually think that because i say word GOD i cannot be an atheist?

    I smell bad mood and provocation all over your message,so please...Try something better. xD

  • ok buddy

  • i think the idea of owning culture is no longer relevent now that you no longer need something physical to transport it. money will be made by associated products that need to be physical like apparal and commemorative plates. although i like the radiohead choose to pay model, i think some fans will choose to pay for their favorite artist's content as a form of charity.

  • I think you hit the nail right on the head.

  • hahaha! funny as always

  • Thanks man!

  • It was good and funny. But out of sync!

  • Really? That's odd.

  • More so towards the end. I'm not sure if I'm alone on this...

  • No you're not.

  • funny1~~~go pro

  • Like the NBA?
