So I don't know if anyone has heard, but there's a new nifty little bill the government has so graciously decided to drop in our laps. But like most bills, it's a ticking time bomb that no one is sure will even explode- but if it does, it'll take all of us with it. Along with our wallets that is. It's called Copyright Bill C-61, against all illegal downloading of media software including music, videos, and applications. Basically, MC Hammer wants his money.
I know I say this in almost every blog- but what the fuck. Just because you failed as an artist and your CD is no longer available, therefore forcing me to download it- doesn't mean you're entitled to what it cost me to download it. I pay my taxes, I work under the man, and if you think you're better you can suck a lemon. All this downloading fine is going to do is make more hackers who are able to break into more codes and websites and do more damage just to piss people off in the rest of the world. I mean come on! Why do you think there are egotistical fat people sitting on computers breaking into the government systems? Because they're fat? (One would think so but astonishingly not!) No! Because they're angry.
And what happens to people when you charge them for downloading? They get angry. Wow- how ironic! The very things we're trying to prevent will inevitably end up fucking us! Same old song and dance- and if it's a real old song and dance you'll end up paying for it. The government has decided that all music, video games, newspaper ads, books, etc. will be illegal and you will be fined if found copying them. They've also decided you will not be allowed to record anything on television or movies on tv. Therefore television networks will have a lockdown on them so that they're alerted when you try and record certain programs. (Cause y'know we're all making so much money off selling home recorded copies of All My Children)
Cellphones as well will have a lockdown where you cannot and wil not be able to buy a phone at one carrier and use it at another. Just so you know- we don't have a say in this. Canadians are not being included in the legislation, we're not being listened to and to top it all off they're not even meeting with intellectual parties. Gee, Harper, I'm glad you're here! I feel so much better knowing a douche-bag like you will ruin my life instead of a douche-bag hick like George Bush. The only difference? Bush is a hick. You just suck. This is ultimately the complete and utter undoing of our minority government- AND I'M NOT EVEN DONE YET!!
YouTube will have a fine for uploading ILLEGAL content. (How will I ever go on without my episodes of Grays Anatomy??) They're quoting 500$ per video. PER VIDEO!! I've also heard (don't quote me on it) that the music fee will be even more ridiculous- something like the amount of songs you have times five hundred dollars. I don't even want to think about it. Granted we should all give a little and buy a CD once in a while or even spend a couple bucks on iTunes- but go fuck yourself five hundred dollars times my songs! iTunes prices will sky rocket like the looney tunes on crack, iPods are saying they as well will raise their costs, and if you think Limewire and Kazza or wtf ever you use are going to be around much longer- think again!
The government is altogether shutting that down! Gee thanks guys! Now I can spend my afternoons in front of my computer scanning facebook hoping someone will talk to me or even watching soap operas! The only thing I can think of better than that would be a TY Beanie baby stained with the blood of child labour and oppression! Or how about a penny on the street so that I have good luck all day even though some hobo pissed on it last night! Puh-leeze. This is like a big game of gang hits. I shoot your guy, you come and kill six of mine, I have ten of yours killed, you shoot my best friend- it's all bullshit and it won't end. As soon as the government bans something we're just going to figure out another way around it. Kind of like how to get across a river- first there was more than likely a plank of wood and a stick or paddle, then there was the canoe, then the row boat, then a sail boat, and soon enough we're at the bridge. We find ways around everything and this will be no different.
Truth be told where else are we going to get rockin hits like hit me baby one more time if you can't find the CD? Where are we supposed to go to feed our addiction for this noise and crap? Honestly Britney, if you need money so badly then just stop fucking yourself over and you won't have to pay for all those lawyers. As for all the other music artists who want "their money"- you sicken me. Music! Music is beauty and breath and expression and emotion and love and art and anger and hate and happiness and memories and everything that is life. Music. Is. And what this world has done to our fair lady Music is absolutely horrific. We've twisted her around and strangled the life out of her- from Mozart and Beethoven we've transformed into Dimmu Borgir and Slipknot. Not that it's not music- for anything with notes is well deemed expression.
But it's the fact that we've gone from Music being something someone did because they loved and because they knew no other or better way to express themselves- to something someone does to make money to "live" so to speak. Sorry but unlike Victoria and David Beckham- my son won't need his own personal size mini- Hummer H2 so he can match daddy. My son will have the values and traits and beliefs as his father does- and that's all he will need. Money may very well lead to the end of all man kind. It's kind of sad really. Beethoven couldn't hear his own music, but he played because it was how he felt. His sadness or joy spilled from his hands over the ivory keys and created silk in notes. And he didn't do it for money- or other people or any of that. He did it because it was his passion and his life.
So congrats to Society, the economy, the media, and the materialistic domination of mankind. We've somehow managed to again royally fuck ourselves with sparkly dildo's made of diamonds and money and greed while we sit on our slaughtered cow aka suede love seats sipping at our Pepsi or Coca-Cola and eating our juicy deep fried or grilled and greasy dead animal burgers smothered in condiments made with chemicals (that would probably kill you if you actually ingested them without the combination of other chemicals) and watch Canadian or American Idol on our big screen plasma tv's. Sounds good to me- hand me one of them consumer whore meals and a side of go fuck yourself. Iris aus.
