So near where I work there is a Planned Parenthood facility. It’s in a quiet little area in a very tasteful building not hurting anyone.

And it seems that about 3 times a week there is a pack of 10 or so college age people standing out side quietly protesting. All of them wearing the same obnoxious t-shirt with anti-abortion rhetoric and wearing tape over their mouths acting like they were the “baby” that was killed. All quietly standing next to their BMW’s and Jags saying that you’re a bad person and should be prisoned for murder.

My initial thought was, what the hell don’t these children have anything better to do?!

But the more I thought about it the more it pissed me off. And now all I can think is; how dare they?!

I maintain that the RIAA are a bunch of thugs and bullies with nothing better to do than harass not only you the consumer, but the artists themselves by using litigious threats and terrorist tactics to get their way. I ask you, is it possible for the RIAA to display more greed or avarice without actually hiring Satan as its general counsel?

The RIAA is known for alienating it’s fans by over charging, completely failing to embrace any semblance of new technology and then sues anyone who tries to give music fans what they want.

The “Recording Industry Artists Association” (RIAA) has not one damn thing to do with the artists. And now, as a thank you to the artists that made the RIAA what it is, the RIAA is making moves to reduce artist royalty payments.

I really hate how in America today, and most likely the world wide, tipping is required. Tipping is no longer a gratuity, in that it’s not something that is given voluntarily or beyond any obligation but rather it’s expected. And some how if you don’t tip beyond a certain amount, you’re the bad guy.

For anyone who has ever in their life previously, or may at some point in the future, use a vertical assention device – a.k.a. an Elevator.. This rant is for you!

Anytime you find your self in the predicament of being trapped in a small box with one or more complete strangers, it’s time to employ the use of something that most people never use; Manners. You might even want to whip out and dust off, common sense, another ill-used and often neglected commodity.

As some of you know, I was the creator of Palavista.com (v1, v6 thank you Archive.org) the very first digital music meta crawler on the internet. Yes, before napster. Well after I sold it to change music, they did nothing with it. And I do mean absolutely nothing. Depressing really.

Eventually the domain fell into ruin and actually became a porn site for a while.. heh After which it was picked up by BuyDomains.com a domain squatter – the bane of the internet (Sorry guys, I think very little of your business model). They were offering to sell the domain at a “reasonable rate”. So seven years later, on a whim and completely for nostalgic reasons since the market is dead, I sent off an email asking how much they wanted for the domain.

So.. yet again the RIAA has decided to sue someone.. I know, shocking.. The RIAA, is suing XM for offering a device that allows people to record songs off the XM satellite service. Recording songs off the radio for home use is 100% legal. However, because those boondogglers had convinced Sirius to pay a bunch of extra money in the form of a licensing fee, they now want XM to pay as well. This is yet another example of how the RIAA are a bunch of greedy shits.
