You guys have to see this leaked RIAA video, you are not going to believe it. The people in the video make the absurd contention that music pirates are drug dealers and terrorist. The lady in the video actually says that law enforcement officials should go undercover and buy pirated CDs just to use that “crime” as probable cause to search for other things like drugs.


This is a leaked official RIAA training video produced with the National District Attorneys Association telling U.S. prosecutors why they should bust music pirates: Because it'll lead them to "everything from handguns to large quantities of cocaine [and] marijuana," not to mention terrorists and murderers!

So music and movie pirates have side jobs as gun runners and drug dealers? Yeah. Excuse me while I shoot a monkey out of my ass.
 
I think people are taking it the wrong way. They aren't talking about your average joe downloading music. They are talking about people selling bootleg cds. And yes I could very well see some guy selling bootleg cds or movies out of his trunk also selling drugs, guns or some other stuff.

I know people who have purchased movies from people out of a van along with other items that were probably stolen. One person I know purchased 2 movies a week before they were out in theatres for $5 a movie and got 2 $200 remote control cars for $15 each.

So I see nothing wrong with them telling people to use the bootleg cds as a means to find the person doing other illegal activities. Such as selling drugs, guns, or stolen products.
 
I see something wrong with using possesion of a suspected pirated CD as PROBABLE CAUSE to search my vehicle or home.

Hey, if that burned CD is in plain sight when they pull you over or come to your door....

:eek:
 
Anyone have a list of all the crimes committed by members of the music industry? Of course a list that long would crash the servers. The police should be checking them for drugs, amongst many other crimes too numerous to mention.
 
I confess. I hide crack in my crack and my name is DVD Ripper Jack

What a bunch of corporate lobbying pigs. Linking burning a cd to burning a CD, I better watch myself, i don't want to take crack in an ally and start prostituting myself. This is what we call in the realm of logic A Slippery Slope.

After i start prostituting myself then Ill shoot up a school, and then blow my head off, Its possible! and very unlikely. Leave it to the corporate machines to ruin our country and they will - Fascism.
 
You know to be honest if these back woods idiots with the ill fitting suits are all the RIAA can muster up Im not worried one bit. I mean how could a terrorist, drug dealer, or the average joe be afraid of people like this.

lol, Yeah.... I don't know how that would connect the two.

"Is that a burned CD sir? It says Shrek 3"

"Yes, I copied it myself"

"HANDS UP TERRORIST!!!!"
 
lmao, i know lots of ppl in the scene, and they are quite the opposite. They do toke up a bit, but certianly dont sell that shit.

agreed. bootleg cds/dvds are quite different than downloading some songs.
 
I live in Mexico... it's not exactly the same here. People sell bootlegged music/movies/games as a hobby or as their main job :p

As crazy as that is.....
 
Yes, I can see how pursuing bootleggers could lead to more serious crimes. In NYC, I know that many of the media bootleggers in Chinatown are mixed up in drugs, mail and identity fraud, and, in the worst case, human trafficing. Almost every week there is a drug bust in the news, and bootlegging is one of the peripheral crimes.

However, in the video the distinction isn't made between the individual and organized syndicates.
 
usually people this delusional are medicated and placed in padded rooms. :rolleyes:
 
lulz, owning a handgun makes you a criminal? I should be in jail! LOL
 
I'm sure drug dealers and terrorists in North America spend their time burning movies and music to sell. :rolleyes:
 
Maybe I need to start building a bunker in the back yard. :eek:

 
Welcome to Crazy Eddie's Weapons Drugs & DVD Warehouse. We got crack, we got your pirated movies, we got any gun you could want. All at low low crazy low prices. We even do terrorism for hire. Our terrorism contractors are all state bonded out of Syria, well trained, well armed and well versed in whatever religious cause you can come up with for any and all acts of terrorism. Come on down today. You won't be sorry.

If the above statement seemed idiotic to you, then you are prolly sane. If the above statements seem less idiotic than the RIAA training vid, you are also prolly intelligent.

In all seriousness, this RIAA madness is simply a tactic that is often used by governments and politicians world wide. If you can manage to attach something to far more evils acts you can sway the sheep towards believing it is just as bad. Music piracy = drug dealrers for example.
You can also do the opposite. If you can manage to attach something evil to some good things you can improve the appearance of the evil and sway the sheep into thinking that evil is all right. It sickens and disgusts me, but that is the way it is.
 
I just like how serious they are talking in the video. It makes me lulz.
lol.gif
It's almost like a Family Guy episode where they are supposed to be doing something serious but it's really sarcasm.
 
Well, I haven't bought a new CD since I stopped "sharing" music 3 years ago. Oh, sure I still buy a few iTunes songs here and there, but I haven't bought a full CD in years.

Take that RIAA!
 
Sounds like the guys who made this video are smoking more crack than they pretend everyone else is.
