White House Against Napster

Lets see, Clinton cheated investors out of millions, lied to the country, lied under oath, cheated on his wife, did illegal drugs, maybe even had people killed for political reasons but we're not suppose to copy music. (I'm not saying that stealing music is right, I'm just putting up a mirror to the biggest critics)

What a load of bullshit.

If these people actually used computers and/or had any interest in music, I can almost garuntee you that they would have napster on their computers and be using it.

Hell, I bet the presidents daughter even uses it.

Now thats funny.

Yep, that about sums it up for me.

our government = morons.

yeah lets shut down napster that way there will be no more widespread music piracy, we know what we're talking about. HUZZAH!

b00la

"Permitting Napster to shelter itself behind [the act] would defeat this basic statutory quid pro quo," the White House argued.

The White House is quite the political figure. When did we elect it to office?

Jesus christ...

Tremetal makes Daggah look like an amateur....

At least clinton is better than nixon http://www.salon.com/books/2000/09/01/arrogance/index.html

For someone who sees nothing wrong with getting his dick sucked while on the clock of the american people and also feels it's ok to blow your load all over an interns dress while your wife is out of town and who also was overseas protesting the vietnam war and also committed perjury to a grand jury and was almost impeached and was sticking cigars up an interns pussy in the white house and probably a few thousand other things that we don't know about Vince Foster and Ron Brown Murder...

he sure is uptight about a little free downloading of music.

So, to summarize, FUCK CLINTON.

Thanks!

The music industry deserves copyright protection when I see my slice of the $800 Million they overcharged us on CDs. The government is so beholding to the media corporation cartel that they levied NO corrective action against the industry for these actions.

The artists have every right to be compensated for their work. Unfortunately the music industry does not compensate them in proportion to the money that is made from their work, unless they have become established. The music industry seeks to undermine the very concept of fair use.

The US is not the only country that is under the thumb of these giant corporations. Canada was forced to tax CD-Rs to compensate the music industry for supposed losses caused by illegal copying. In Germany legislation was just passed to tax ALL computer equipment for the losses supposedly incurred by their media conglomerates. Cynics there have started calling it the "Bertleman's tax" since that company will receive a large windfall of cash ontop of already high profits.

When my rights to fair use are again protected, when the artists receive fair compensation for their music, and when corrective action is taken against the music industry for their previous pricing policies, I will again support their right to copyright protection.

"... yet the music industry would receive nothing in return"

Um more like the government can't tax Napster, hence they loose, which is why they give a damn...fags

He smokes weed,commits adultry,you would think this is ok with the big guy...:)

Anyone else smell a payoff by the RIAA? =)

I am The White House! phear me!!!

hmmm, i wonder why...($$$)

/me looks for bill clinton 'sax' music on napster....

I eagerly await the creation of the new user account, The White House. It will be hilarious.

well of course the white house is going to be against napster. clinton is in with the celebrity crowd, so he is obviously going to support them so that they support him

So now the White House has its own opinions? I thought it was just a building.. maybe some radiation or something brought it to life?
