Oh no! Don't download my videos in mp3! You pirate!

This whole copyright misery is getting more and more ridiculous. Somebody should end this already! The latest news, that YouTube is threatening sites offering MP3 downloads from YouTube videos... This whole thing is a joke!

It's like suing Sony, Panasonic, Philips and all the other tape recorder manufacturers in the 80's. Their gadgets made it possible to record (a.k.a. pirate) music from radios. Sounds ridiculous? But this is exactly what's happening right now!

Btw. I wonder how many of you know what's on this picture:

Intellectual Property piracy machine of the 80's

Or what's the difference between Dolby B and C?

Because, what'll happen if those sites are shut down? You still have the FlashGot plugin for Firefox! This little baby can download multimedia streams, too! And why? Because the data gets to your browser. Until then anything can be done! Even so primitive methods like recording it with an audio editor. You can mute everything but Firefox, and there you go! A bit of a hassle, but so was recording sh*t from the radio, too!

I think RIAA should grow up already. Release songs, that's worth buying, don't try to sell mp3 files for $2 and so on. Or say goodbye to digital audio completely and release everything on tapes and LPs again, so even we have a chance to re-live the 70's! Anybody would like to buy Katy Perry on a reel? You know what, I'd still buy a best of Steve Miller Band collection on a collector's box LP release! Britney Spears? I don't think so ;)

Haha, bring that reel-to-reel player running next year!

Or better yet, cardio theater has to be updated (or rather down-dated?): put a turntable on your elliptic trainer not an iPod dock ;)
