Une vidéo de la RIAA lie le piratage, la drogue et le terrorisme

[pankkake]

La vidéo a été leakée on ne sait trop comment et on la trouve maintenant sur Minninova et The Pirate Bay.

C'est fait avec un cabinet d'avocats.

Plus d'infos ici http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/02/riaa-training-v.html ou sinon mes extraits choisis (avec la vidéo YouTube non supprimé, comme sur l'article (la RIAA veille)) :

The video apparently isn't as old as it seems, and pertains mostly to physical CD piracy, with ex-Maryland state trooper Frank Walters pointing to a CD burner tower and showing how prosecutors can identify a pirated CD (no printing on the CD). It also includes some choice lines like as this one, about how piracy accusations can help take down people who are skirting other laws (think Al Capone):

Jim Dedman, National District Attorneys Association: "If I have my drug officers out there, and they see what seems like a nice music collection, this may be something you could help me out with."

Deborah Robinson, Regional Counsel, Anti-Piracy Div., RIAA: "Exactly, exactly. And sometimes drug officers call us and say, 'we know they're selling music, can you help us?… We're trying to arrest this drug dealer, what should I look for, what should I put in that affidavit?

The RIAA is deluded. They have a warped perception of how media distribution should work in our high-tech world. They refuse to adapt. Instead, they stick to their age-old business model, they cry foul, and they persecute pirates. They recruit friends in high places in the legal system. They have succeeded in painting us as the enemy through their propaganda campaigns.

We are not the enemy. We are the new generation of media consumers.
