OUR BLOOD IS BOILING!!!!

In one of the most sickening displays yet, a Minn. woman has been found guilty of, what basically amounts to sharing songs online and fined $220,000 (or $9250 per song) by our "friends" at the RIAA. (All of which we are sure will go back to the artists. HA.). I wonder how the "artists" feel knowing that this woman will in debt for the rest of life.

As one forum post read, "The defendant has been made a homeless slave to some of the world's biggest companies, and so have we all."

You can continue buying this garbage and supporting these asswipes, or support indie artists, knowing that the money that you're spending is truely going to the artist - in turn, allowing them to create more music. Anything that has ever been empowering for the artist/consumer, that isn't and cannot be controled by these evil bastards is sued, dismantled and destroyed. Look no further than the original Napster, MP3.com and now ... the new enemy in internet radio.

It may have taken the better part of a decade, but thank God that Radiohead, NIN and Prince have FINALLY stepped up to the plate. All these years that we (JaGoFF) were screaming from the mountain tops was beginning to make us feel as though we were the town madmen.

Rest assured ... you can download & share our work for free. You can burn our CD and share it. We won't ever sue you for that. But as with us and any artist out there, if you dig on it - go buy the cd, get the DRM FREE downloads, pick up a t-shirt or check out a show. Just stop supporting the a-holes that are suing you. There is an entire world of truely great independent music for you to explore and that deserve your attention.

Support independent music or be force-fed CRAP.

Until then,
JaGoFF
