Music monopoly mafia's mad-dog McCarthyite witch-hunt

["Jose G. Perez" <jg_perez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    There they go again!

    The parasites of the "Big 5" families of the music monopoly Mafia have
launched a major escalation in their war against musicians and their farms.

    Acting on what Cubans would call a "chivatazo" from the Recording
Industry Association of America, the dorm room of a 19-year-old University
of Oklahoma student was raided by the university's cops acting on behalf of
the music Mafia and confiscated the teenager's personal computer.

    This youngster's "crime"? Having what an "expert" determined could well
be more than one thousand mp3 files on his hard drive. Apparently for the U.
of Arizona digital Gestapo, counting beyond the number of fingers and toes
on their gorilla limbs was too much, and someone with the advanced skill set
of, say, a 7-year-old had to be called in to actually implement the advanced
algorithm involved in serial addition of 1+n.

    Apparently, black-hat script kiddies working as digital goons for the
Music Monopoly Mafia have launched snitch packet sniffers into the web. The
RIAA CLAIMS they detected a huge amount of traffic to/from Napster from the
University of Oklahoma site. This is bullshit, as anyone with the slightest
inkling about Napster technology knows, BECAUSE NONE OF THE TRAFFIC
ASSOCIATED WITH actual downloads of MP3 files goes through Nap servers. What
DOES go through the servers is simply information about which user has what
song.
And the RIAA's digital spooks have obviously INTERCEPTED and BROKEN INTO
these private communications on the web to finger some hapless teenager and
terrorize him with the threat of multiple felony counts.

    Intercepting electronic communications is, of course, a felony. The
reason it is being done is to protect the outrageous, monopoly pricing of
the musical Mafia. We have now in any record store the absolutely absurd
pricing structure that a Cristina Aguilera CD costs MORE  than many
full-length DVD movies. The combination of a) illegal activities for b) the
purpose of extortionate pricing places the RIAA and its five families
clearly within the bounds of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations (RICO) act, making them subject to expropriation without
compensation.

    Don't hold your breath waiting for the feds to actually ENFORCE that law
in THIS case, however, at least not this side of a workers, farmers, and
musicians government.

    How come you haven't heard about this? It isn't news that "fits" the
profits of the media monopolies that control such "news" outlets as FoxNews
and CNN, whose parent companies are part of the music monopoly Mafia. As for
the rest of the news media, they are so corruptly beholden to electronic
equipment, movie and music advertising buyers that they haven't dared to
breathe a word.

    The one place --if fact the ONLY place-- I've found in the Internet that
you can actually READ the wire service account of this latter-day
McCarthyite inquisition is at the www.terra.ar technology page. Apparently
the technology editors of the argentine terra have been overlooked, at least
so far, in enforcing the press blackout. Then again, maybe she sleeps with
the fishes even as we speak.

    It is, of course, not entirely without irony that to find out what is
going on in the land that practically OWNS "freedom of the press," you have
to go to Patagonia and learn another language.

    Whether the cappos of the five families of the Music Monopoly Mafia will
be able to keep a lid on their digital equivalent of book burnings remains
to be seen.

    In the meantime, the rats and snitches doing the dirty work for the RIAA
are urged to research the Cuban word "chivato," and the sanitary measures
that were necessary to deal with this malodorous rodent that the people
adopted when they took power.
