I've a question

[Travis_Flesher]

Maybe someone can answer this for me since I really don't know. Why are permissions necessary when you can just type 'download mp3' on a search engine and instantly get any song you want? Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say here.

I comprehend how record labels own copyrights. I actually received a warning from my ISP for using p2p networks once (go figure). The question I'm trying to ask here is if the record labels are worried about copyrights then why is 16 million songs available simply by typing mp3 download? It's not like these song download sites are trying to hide they're right there in plain sight and not getting shut down. There's plugins on every browser to rip songs and vids right off a page but the browser execs receive no heat.

What is the price we have to pay here? Why is there literally hundreds of other sites that host millions of songs but not FlashFlashRevolution? Are you guys some grassroots organization that doesn't use big name copyrights or something? Frankly, the most mainstream thing I've played on FFR I think was a Weird Al song.

You guys need to stick up for yourselves and tell your boss's boss to tell your ISP when they come knocking to tell the record label that they won't be receiving royalties beacuse this is the internet for chrissakes and we've got a million terrabytes and a million other reasons to hold them in limbo until oblivion and what do they have? Nothing.

This is merely a question about internet service provider policies regionally and why some of them have backbones and some don't. I am very curious to know other peoples' opinions.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. -Sincerely, Travis Flesher
