Seen on Slashdot:
Dear Everybody,
You’re not us. That means you’re either a pirate or a pirate pretending to be a consumer. That includes ICANN. That includes the Vatican. That includes OPEC. That includes the United States government.
You want to use the word “music?” Only if you pay royalties to us. And right now all we see is people profiting off of our artist’s copyrighted works (i.e. all music) that we broke our backs locking down with crippling contracts.
Remember our motto: “If you’re not us, you’re against us.”
Sincerely,
The RIAA
