Re: [Marxism] Downloading: communism is the future

[Waistline2@xxxxxxx]

The world is in a new trend and juncture. The new trend is material communism
and not an ideological position. The battle for free down loading of music
and movies have had recent court ruling halting or blunting the attacks by the
Recording Industry. Here is what objective communism sounds like.

A few sample of comments taken from AOL post:


>I will never feel bad for the record companies. They deserve to be defeated
at every turn because of how they act. They will likely go out of business and
a new much less expensive business will fill the void. We can they pay a
cheaper price for songs by downloading from the Internet. This is the way of the
future and there's no chance of stopping it.  NO CHANCE AT ALL!!! <

>l think this is a sing of the fall of capitalism. This is just the tip of
the iceberg. Downloading is here to stay. power to the people!!! keep
downloading :-)<

>So what! You rich bastards are trying to use the courts to line your pockets
and producing crappie music to boot (leg that is). Someone who cares!<

>Right To Privacy is what the three-judge panel's ruling is about. I'm so
happy to know the RIAA isn't going to be able to run over rights to privacy to a
chieve its witch-hunt ends.<

>The Music industry should realize by now that they can piss off two people..
The Internet users and Internet providers. When they forced earlier ISPs to
reveal the names.. the Internet users turned around and sued the ISPs. Now in
turn.. ISPs are fighting to keep their customers. In this age, the music
industry is going to be hard pressed to fight back..but you can't do a thing 
about
it. ISPs need their customers to survive. If the Music Industry manages to by
pass the recent ruling..they might as well kiss their permanent profits good
bye as well as for the ISPs too.<

Just a sample.

My wife say the government can just give the people the money they need for
rent, energy, water, food, school, transportation, health care and limited
entertainment. Everything else that is over and above the basics one can work 
for.

One of her friends said, "Won't that increase inflation if you just print a
lot of money and give it to people?"

Her answer was, "That is why we don't have shit in the first place. Someone
always come up with a reason about why we cannot do what everyone know is the
right thing to do. If inflation it, then give the basic stuff away. How do you
charge people for water? For a goddamn drink of water and to flush your
toilet?"

I walked into the room shaking my head in agreement and the women said, "What
the fuck you looking at. Go back to your damn computer."

Being the man I have always been - hard and firm, I went back to my computer
upstairs.

Life was simpler before the communist workers showed up and all the Marxist
just debated heavy theory.
