    Another way to keep the black man down.

    Good. Knock offs are a BIG problem in China. Since we can’t find the manufacturers, the US is targeting distributors.

    Fine, theft is theft, but should DHS do this? Secondly why don’t give warning first, at least from the labels if they are so pissed off?

  • joe

    Yo HLS, why don’t you leave the rappers alone and FIND BIN LADEN!!!!!!!

    blierso, if the music industry doesn’t “better your life”, then stop buying music….if you do.

    I’m also really sick of people claiming that it’s so easy to create music. Then do it. But I mean, create some that people would actually want. As if the creators of music shouldn’t complain when somebody steals it. Can I come into your store or wherever you work and just take what I want? I’m so sick of the argument that if it’s out there, it’s free for the taking.

    This is fuc*ing ridiculous. Artists are allowing these songs to be posted. Kanye even put up a link to one of the deleted sites for a trailer of a Kid Cudi album, and Cudi is one of the people he signed on his label!
