THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW DOCUMENTARIES BY ‘OLD MEDIA’ CREWS WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND THE NET AND SEE PEER-TO-PEER ORGANISATION AS A THREAT TO THEIR LIVELIHOODS. THEY HAVE NO REASON TO REPRESENT THE FILESHARING MOVEMENT POSITIVELY, AND NO CAPACITY TO REPRESENT IT LUCIDLY. WE WANTED TO MAKE A FILM THAT WOULD EXPLORE THIS HUGE POPULAR MOVEMENT IN A WAY THAT EXCITED US, ENGAGED US, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, FOCUSSED ON WHAT WE KNOW TO BE THE POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC VISION MANY FILESHARERS AND ARTISTS (THEY ARE OFTEN ONE) HAVE FOR THE FUTURE OF CREATIVITY.

RIAA Music Download Controversy!

The opinion expressed in this video does not encourage any criminal activity nor support illegally downloading music, motion pictures and television shows. Anyone who advocates the illegal downloading of music, motion pictures, and television could face criminal charges, lawsuits and seizure of your electronic devices. Penalties could reach up to $250,000 or five years (5) in prison.

In June 2009, a Minnesota mother has been ordered to pay over $1.92 million in damages.

In 2004, Mrs. Jammie Thomas-Rassett was the first of hundreds of illegal downloading lawsuits filed the Recording Industry ociation of America (RIAA).

The Movie industry and music industry are blaming peer-to-peer file sharing for the recent decline in television, radio, music sales, motion picture releases and the entertainment industry.

Rock, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Reggae, Classical Rhythm and Blues, Popular Music, Oldies, Eclectic, Nursery Rhymes, and even food and television themes are under the RIAA.

The RIAA has been criticized harshly for the excess lawsuits.

Do two wrongs make a right?

Note: The purpose of the RIAA:

1. to protect intellectual property rights worldwide and the First Amendment rights of artists;
2. to perform research about the music industry;
3. to monitor and review relevant laws, regulations and policies.

Thanks to the subscribers, friends and supporters of the videos. To all critics, do me a favor: “Prove Me Wrong!”

European Politicians Launch Pro-Filesharing Campaign

http://iwouldntsteal.net/

Greens EFA, a coalition of two political parties that currently have 42 seats in the European parliament, have launched a pro-filesharing campaign named “I Wouldn’t Steal”. Their goal is to counter the anti-piracy propaganda put forward by the entertainment industry, and encourage people to download and share.

The message put forward by the parties is pretty strong: “Whenever you rent a movie, the multinational media industry forces you to watch their propaganda. They claim that downloading movies is the same as snatching bags, stealing cars or shoplifting. That’s simply not true — making a copy is fundamentally different from stealing.”

Greens EFA claim that the entertainment industry exploits artists and sell propaganda, and want to make the public aware of this. We couldn’t agree more of course, and it is good to see that these established political parties are attempting to decriminalize filesharing. As they write: “The media industry has failed to offer viable legal alternatives and they will fail to convince consumers that sharing equals stealing. Unfortunately, they have succeeded in another area — lobbying to adapt laws to criminalize sharing, turning consumers into criminals.”

In collaboration with RåFILM the parties created a short clip for the campaign. which they made available on BitTorrent by uploading it to The Pirate Bay. It’s beginning to look like things are finally starting to change, politicians are not scared anymore to embrace BitTorrent sites such as The Pirate Bay, and stand up for people’s right to share culture.

The Pirate Bay is of course delighted by the campaign and even updated the logo on their frontpage to show their support. Pirate Bay’s Brokep told TorrentFreak: “I love that there are smart people that understand how the world works and I’m gonna support them with whatever means I can”.

Let’s hope the entertainment industry is paying attention as well.

NEW ALTERNATE VOCODER MIX!

http://rapidshare.de/files/47242060/We_re_all_the_Pirate_Bay_alternate_Version.mp3.html

EDIT OF ORIGINAL: OK I realised the vocals were a bit low in the mix and I pulled back the kick and synth effect that some may find annoying. Here is a link to the slightly better MP3 file.

Protect yourself against identity theft and lawsuits while using P2P file-sharing software! Using P2P file-sharing software such as LimeWire, FrostWire, Shareaza, or Ares Galaxy to share music, movies, or software, can expose you to identity theft and lawsuits. ZapShares scans and monitors your computer, identifying potential security threats caused by file-sharing software installed on your computer that can cause the unintentional sharing of bank account details, passwords, tax returns, and other private information that can lead to identity theft. ZapShares also creates a secure vault by using temporary download folders that are automatically used by your file-sharing software while downloading is in progress, and then moving the completed downloads to a final secure folder that is not shared over P2P networks, protecting you against lawsuits by copyright holders.
