U SLEEP WE ENSLAVE U

Elitest Pig Dog - Look the people are actually enjoying themselves learning, enjoying music, acting free and turning against the slave pen we’ve made for them.

Elitest Pig Dog 2 - Well then well just manipulate the laws again to show them there our slaves once again.

Elitest Pig Dog - Good Idea, lets start with the music we own that right?

Elitest Pig Dog 2 - Oh, yeah all of it and we can only let them have the brain washing stuff for free. Nothing like 12 year old girls singing britney spears.

Elitest Pig Dog - Oh I just love that we’ll restructure it to play all day on the stations we take over.

Elitest Pig Dog 2 - This should make it easier then to go after talk radio right? and videos on google like money masters? Cause we cant have the truth told to the slaves, i mean when i want a sandwich I don’t wanna have to wait or make it myself you know what I’m saying.

Elitest Pig Dog - I know just where your coming from, I had to wait 2 min. once it was hell, I think my stomach actually growled. Oh yeah and it’s all just domino’s we get this the rest will fall, there stupid and cant stand up for anything. We’ll just start another american idol up so they will watch that and we’ll move in.
Elitest Pig Dog - so then its agreed music first.

Elitest Pig Dog 2 - Aye, to the law system we created to further enslave!

Elitest Pig Dog - Tally HO!

this is going around the

this is going around the neighborhood....
WAKE UP:
1500 college students have been sued and now internet radio is on it's last leg………

Take the PLEDGE

1. I WILL NOT BUY ANY CD'S OR DOWN LOAD FOR PAY MUSIC
2. I WILL LISTEN AND SUPPORT COLLEGE RADIO STATIONS ONLY
3. I WILL WRITE MY CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS

I WILL CONTINUE THIS UNTIL SOUNDEXCHANGE HAS BEEN DISBANDED AND THERE ARE FAIR LAWS FOR WEBCASTERS…..

SO TAKE THE PLEDGE

Copy what is between the words PLEDGE and send them to your friends either thru email or just printing something out or tell them….but get the word around….it is time to take back our music…SPREAD THE WORD

Webcasters aren't arguing that there should not be royalties. They have been paying them for years. They aren't even arguing that the royalties should be as low as terrestrial royalties. They just want the royalties to be at a reasonable level such that the services can continue to operate

RIAA hurts artists (again)

Simple math: A song is 4 minutes long. A streaming radio station plays 350 songs per day.
At the 2007 rate of $0.0011 per one song to one listener, this translates to $140 per song/listener. No one
can afford this.

This is the way the RIAA, and record labels can bury their artists, since a lot of listeners like the choice or
variety streaming radio provides. Many, many listeners are not into the extremely limited top 40 or hip-hop crap
that clear channel provides, or the same tired old songs that you hear on country or oldies coupled with the
over-saturation of commercials.

If the RIAA greed succeeds in killing streaming internet radio in the US, we'll just turn to the rest of the world
to pick up our streams. And let the RIAA start charging the commercial radio stations these rates as well. Or better yet
the RIAA and RECORD-LABELS have become OBSOLETE. They are old dinosaurs trying to extract as much money for their obsolete
services as possible. MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS SHOULD UNITE and give their fans a venue to hear other things besides BILLBOARD
TOP 40. Who the heck wants to hear the same Clear Channel poop on the internet. No I don't want to listen to "STAR 92" on
my computer.
