So I made my views on online file sharing known back in an April 21st post. Here's today's example as to why the recording industry is wrong, and nothing but a bunch of greedy fucks who are too stupid to figure out a decent way to cash in on P2P, and so they have to go blitzkrieg on anyone they can find.

Yeah, there's a lot of porn out there on P2P networks. And, unfortunately, there is child porn out there as well. As pointed out in that article (and not like you need to be reminded), there is plenty of porn of all kinds to be found on the internet. If we're going to start regulating and shutting down P2P networks, than the same is going to have to go for the rest of the 'net, and I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Saying they're working to keep kids from finding porn, child or otherwise, is just as much bullshit as those who go after the internet in general for the same thing. Is it easier to get porn on P2P networks? You could make a case for that. But that doesn't mean that just because it's out there that adults or children are necessarily downloading it. Some, yes. It wouldn't be there if there wasn't some sort of demand. However, as was also pointed out, rarely do you ever download porn on accident. When you see MPEG filenames that have references to children and sexual acts, you have a pretty good idea as to what it is. Also, I don't think that many are trying to lure kids into looking at child porn on P2P like that guy I posted a link on a couple of days ago. Again, what would the fucking point of that be?

Those who sexually assault children really are the lowest of the low, and they deserve to die. Going after P2P networks and developers does nothing to stop these people. An attempt by the recording industry to say they're fighting P2P to protect children is disgusting. Again, I don't even have to tell anyone that this is just a thinly veiled attempt to protect their bottom line. They would personally rape children to protect their profits. R Kelly might do it for free. But if you're going to be a money grubbing prick, at least don't lie about it.

Also, sorry R. Sure, you peed on a 14 year old, and that's not exactly rape (unless you forced her), and while she was a minor 14 isn't exactly a 'child' like some who are abused in porn and otherwise. Doesn't mean what you did is OK, but to imply that you're a kiddy raper isn't really fair, unless of course if at some point you have raped kids. Unfortunately for you, you were the quickest example of someone in music who I could think of that's into the young'uns.
