»EMI Says No Online Storage

EMI thinks that using online storage for music is illegal. <a href="http://consumerist.com/382824/emi-says-you-cant-store-your-music-files-online">A service called MP3tunes allows members to store their files for use at another place</a>. This is legit and legal, but that doesn't stop the media cartels from trying to ban fair use... Here is some interesting quotes...

As you may be aware, the major record label EMI has sued MP3tunes, claiming our service is illegal. You can read about the case here. Much is at stake - if you don't have the right to store your own music online then you won't have the right to store ebooks, videos and other digital products as well. The notion of ownership in the 21st century will evaporate. The idea of ownership is important to me and I want to make sure I have that right and my kids do too.

The notion of ownership will evaporate... Is that really what you want?

um.....how about, HELL NO!!! I rather like the idea of being able to store my personal files (no matter the content unless its pedophile crap) online without being sued or harassed because sum big pocket bastard thinks he/she should be allowed to dip their greedy hands in our pockets because of it. This is what this is all about from the RIAA to the Hollywood. All these companies are suing and harassing people cause there so damn greedy and believed that everything we do with music and videos on our computers and online should have a fee so they can make money even if we already spent money offline for it. They just want more money and the growing problems in our US economy is only making them more greedy. As lil people with regular everyday jobs and no money after paying our bills they figure we can cry all we want but once it comes down to a legal battle we're screwed anyways.
