It's one word to sum up the way I feel about the recent verdict in the Jammie Thomas-Rasset case. If you are unfamiliar, Jammie Thomas-Rasset is a 32 year old mother of four who was recently forced to pay the 4 major record labels around $2 million dollars in damages for illegal downloading and distribution of copyrighted works.

My immediate instinct was that this lady must have been running quite an operation out of her house for such attention. Was she copying CD's and selling them? Maybe she was leaking unreleased albums to the general public. As it turns out she had downloaded 24 songs. Wait, what?

All I have to say to the majors at this point is that I hope Jammie wipes her *$$ with every single dollar you leech from her. Being from a family with four children I can garauntee you she has zero time to spend downloading music. Could it be that one of her children was the culprit? Records labels response: "Doesn't matter, it was her computer." You people make me sick to my stomach.

To All Major Labels:
It is now my mission to never buy or support any major label in any means, ever. I will never buy a CD, vinyl or concert ticket for one of your artists. You all should hang your heads in shame. This latch ditch effort is simply a way for you all to still feel like you are important in this world. Guess what, you aren't. The music industry is going back into the hands of the people, where it belongs. For too long you have sucked the souls of your artists and fan base. What you need to realize, coming from an artists perspective is, "We don't need you anymore." Go die off like the dinosaurs you know you are.
