Our laws are not set up to defend people or make things just. Most of them are set up to defend money. Keep money in the hands of the rich. Recently there was over 2 billion in tax cuts for gas and electric companies. 2 billion corporations don't have to pay, and I am sure they are loosing money, but paying their administration MILLIONS! anywas the most recent thing to bring my outrage is this: RIAA has man court ordered to pay $4,000 for downloading 5 songs on the internet. The entire music industry was caught in price fixing, to extort millions apon millions from its costumers. It paid out a few million for getting caught. The eventual settlement was about $10 for each person that sent in info for the class action suit. This man was ordered to pay $750 for each of the copyrighted songs violations. So wait if a person breaks the law and takes a song they can pay $750 a song (about 700x the value of the song). If a coporations breaks the law they pay $10 (about 2/3 the cost of a new CD.) Realize the CD cost about 6 cents to make so even after paying you $10s back they still made 5 dollars off of your for a single CD you purchased (let alone the fact that you most likely purchased more than one CD.) Can ANYONE tell me why in the hell a person can be sued for 700x the value of a stolen object and a company can only be sued for 2/3 the cost of an item. This is our laws in action. This is our government. This is corporate lobbying and control. This is money and greeds influence.
Yes there are more important problems going on in the world. They are harder to show the direct problems iwth our goverment. The underlying problem with most of our issues is greed, corporate corruption, and lobbyist control. This is bullshit and I think the entire recording industry should be put our of business. Any business person that has ever profitted from it should have their entire savings stripped from them.
