Banning my posts to the Inferno but not banning outsight attacks or redicule posts directed towards me is OK? Smacks of HYPROCRISY!!!!

LS is making money from content providers as they drag out this contract. The first one was an outright insult. Had it not been for MU and the Attorney, it may have even slid past. It is arrogance on LS's part to think that the amteurs here could understand the nuances and consequesnces of such an outright insideous contract. RIPPIN' off content providers seems to be a popular sport.

Then the pandering comments regarding the contract. "We love musicians and only want to help them." What a crock of pure, BULLSHIT!

While the musicians dwell on nonsensical matters the Corporation is devising schemes to make themselves rich and figuring out how to con the the content providers.

Let's face it> The Brutal Truth: The majority of the 'content' is substandard amateur material that would never get beyond a low level of the music industry. The MCPs (Music Content Providers) could (not) care any less what the content is. It s not about quality. It is geared to quantity. This is stage 1. Build the bulk.

The case of mp3.con: Now that formula is changing because mp3.con has manuvered itself to work with the majors. Sub standard filler will no longer be needed to shore up the site for the advertisers. Hence a subtle progrom (correct spelling). Look up this word. A subtle progrom is going to ease out the filler content and low earners.

LS is playing a game. they didn't count on the wild card. Me. I threw a monkey wrench in their plans. I play hard ball and I know how to play it! Many don't understand my agenda. They think that I am being hateful and vindictive or also playing mind games. I assure you. I am not fuckin' around.

Get your heads out of your asses and stop focusing on me. Focus on the messages. Killing the messenger will not change the nature of the reality you are in.

You are being fucked with and it isn't by me. I am pointing things out in a brutal fashion just to wake you up! If you prefer to stay asleeep and get fucked over, you cannot blame that on me.

I am still very upset that I was NOT included
in the list of those you respect.

If this was intentional on your part I not
only wish you to the Inferno but I wish you
would barbeque yourself there as well : )

Now if this was an innocent oversight on your
part I hope you can get out of the Inferno.
I elected to go in there on my on regognisence and found it to be quite lonely
in there.

God I hope i dont have to go there again.

Christ.
