This isn't the first anti-RIAA video on YouTube, but the more the better. And for the record, I now know that Gene Simmons isn't TECHNICALLY the lead singer for KISS, but honestly, does it matter? ...

The primary track here is Nine Inch Nails - "The Four of Us Are Dying," from the album The Slip, published on Trent Reznor's own label, The Null Corporation. The track at the end is Type O Negative - "Hail and Farewell to Britain", from the album Dead Again, published by SPV / Steamhammer. Both are considered independent albums.

i took it forward to 2:38 and thats the crack, that cracked me up, because it looks retarded, sorry if you didnt want it to look retarded but its funny as hell.
Actually a good suggestion, and I can't believe I've overlooked them prior to now. I'll include both a link to them and The Recording Industry vs The People as soon as I get a chance to edit the description.
Wow! I was officially the very first person to view this video right after it was uploaded! I posted it as a MySpace bulletin right afterwards! I'm surprised that it hasn't been banned yet! I'm not even a big fan of music in general, yet I agree with what you're saying. I found this through a Type O Negative search of youtube. You should redo it with some crappy overly popular artist to get yer point across!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!

Personally, I found it amusing (and true).
I still gave this 5 stars. keep preaching.
I mean, I unless you just don't like the band or something, in which case to each his own.
If I redid it with a more popular artist, the major labels would have a justifiable cause to have it removed. As it is, they don't have a case.
