Internet Radio Fiasco Anyone?
Sep. 18th, 2007 08:09 pm'I am rather worked up about this because I believe it's about choice. The airwaves in the United States are supposedly owned by the American people, and licensed out to broadcasters for use, but in practice, that's not the way it works at all. In practice, the airwaves are owned by Clear Channel, and they work hand-in-hand with the big four record labels to limit our choice of music. It's a great scam they've got going, and it's been a very profitable system for all of them for a very long time.'
Amen.
Do you know how much it pisses me off to see people not doing what they are allowed to do to save themselves, by Constitutional Right, simply because someone said "You Can't Do That! I Have Lawyers!" Do you have any idea how that makes me feel?
Stand up for yourselves, people. Talk to representatives.
And to every fucking person who says "it won't do any good,"do you know why? Because there are so fucking many of you who use that as an excuse.
Stand up, shake off the fucking apathy, and grab some people and Vote, Lobby, Buy, Hit 'em in the Wallet. Do what will work.
Or so help me I will rip your throat out and drink your still-living blood to fuel my rage and give me strength.
Do we understand each other?
Amen.
