this is hugely bumming me out today. like just short of wanting to cry bummed out. not because I can't download music from such an awesome site anymore, and not totally because whoever was involved in making that site great just got fucked, but mostly because of the ideological issues involved. makes me want to do something about it, but I don't know what. get a job at the EFF or something.
i feel the same way.
lets create the TTF tracker, and damn the man
because of the ideological issues involved. makes me want to do something about it, but I don't know what.
this is the buzz kill. jump into the saddle.
emerge from the dust and kicked up in the uphill battle
with my guns drawn and sword out. point 'em toward the court house.
i sort out words from my war torn mouth.
let's all get law degrees and work for the EFF.
maybe I'll join up.

i think the government should have a "intellectual public property" division which values intellectual property, buys it, and pushes it into the public domain.
ex: a drug company develops drugs over the course of years, incurring huge R&D costs. the drug is extremely valuable, so the government pays the company the R&D costs, plus a slightly above average accounting profit (the same as a small economic profit). then the drug can be produced by multiple companies, driving down the price for consumers.
ex: a band spends $5,000 making a album, which is valued at much more than $5,000 by the public. the government gives the band $5,000 plus a slightly above average accounting profit, and gives the music out for free.
