3. Two thoughts:

   1.  I’m surprised there are even any Boy Scout troops left in southern California, given the leanings of a good deal of the population there and the Boy Scouts’ stance on that sort of lifestyle.

   2.  So what other industries will Boy Scouts merit badges specifically target for protection next?  I’m very disappointed that they kowtowed to the entertainment “industry”, of all things (see above).  I figure there’ll be some backlash on this one once the word gets out.

4. I daresay that most youth piracy is being committed by those who have no connection whatever with the Boy Scouts, or indeed, with any civic youth organization of any sort.  I also daresay that they’ll find difficulty in brainwashing (or even finding) role models for most of the culprits.

   I agree, Skip, this reprints the definition of ludicrous onto elastic.

   I agree especially about the progressive downslide in the quality of entertainment!  It has done nothing but decline in my lifetime.  Give me the big band era and Casablanca any time!

   Play it, Sam!

5. I know a person at work that buys and watches first run movies that are video’d by some retard in the movie audience.  Pays 15 bucks for these “movies”.  I gots no love for Hollywood but on this issue I think they have a point.

6. Tech Tv (before it became G4 or whatever) ran a special with Leo Laporte hosting with a guy from RIAA, a performer from One Trick Pony who were against downloading and two people (one professional, one a performer) who weren’t agin it. By the end of the show, the RIAA guy was so lame and so convuluted in his reasoning (which came down to ‘We want the money’) that the One Trick Pony singer was on the for it side.

   Remember when you side with RIAA - Sony products (for example) now include phone home installation software, refuse to let you copy it to your computer, ipod, phone and anything else and they are working toward a one time use product; RIAA has a long history of taking a high percentage of the profits and use to regularly deny women, minorities and anyone else they could any and all profits from THEIR artistic work; and most of the ‘cost’ goes to ads - not the value of the product.

   Metallica is another one who has gone over to the ‘dark’ side - jumping onto the download side.

   I do not abide by the selling of a song, dvd, cd, picture, or other artistic product by someone not the artist or his agent. I do not however have a problem with someone downloading a song, picture, cd or dvd to watch themselves. You lose quality and some other aspects with downloading (and those pirates from the movie audience retard are unwatchable).

   And hence becomes the real issue - distingushing between the person who wants to hear a song no longer available in production (except on a soundtrack - i.e. Spirit In The Sky) and the jerk selling cds out of his car.

   Dilema, dilema, dilema.

7. Sounds kinda like that South Park episode…

   Poor Ms. Spears had to trade in her Learjet 3 for a Learjet 2 because of all that money she lost from the evil pirates...what a tradgedy!
