Godnarbian Solution Revealed: Transcending the RIAA
"The best rational defense is a good irrational offense."
~me, I just made it up.
Or Is It?
The RIAA contends that reproduction of recorded media should be paid for. RIAA has established guidelines, which the CRB has supported.
At the same time, the RIAA contends that artists are reaping more benefit than they should from an expanding audience.
The RIAA has acquired a fair amount of power to recover revenues, which escape this system of payment via piracy.
These tenets, rationally displayed and validated by the RIAA, and upheld by the CRB create an irrational system in which every aspect of the entertainment industry (in this case, music) now operates.
So, what to do?
Looking at the problem in terms of numbers, because, that's what it's all about; artists want money for their work (or, someone comes along and convinces them they [i]should[/i] get paid for what they’re doing), record companies want money to lavish their empire, which results from sales and distribution, and, of course the peeps who want cool tunes, rockin' jams, and, roughly, any coherent (even, sometimes, incoherent) permutation of the mathematics and inspiration; the combination of which creates music.
The money flows one way, the packaged data flows the other way. Artists and peeps are willing mutual suppliers; you play me a song I like, I'll give you what I can afford to show my appreciation - if it's not enough for you, you go away - if your music sucks, I will go away. The music industry couldn't care less (not unless it has to) how much I can afford, nor whether or not your music sucks – just so long as they can convince artists to make music they can convince me to buy, then they get the bulk of the money, and control of the distribution and packaging of the music – because, contractually, they own it.
The RIAA has lobbied, schmoozed, and arm-twisted their way to being the single representative of a multifaceted monopoly. The industry claims that it is losing money due to copyright infringement and revenue imbalances caused by low prices to re-distributors and high payouts to artists. If these claims aren’t outright lies… Well, I don’t see, nor have I heard it reported about David Geffen, or anyone vested in the music production / distribution industry loading up the Escalade with stuff for the pawn shop.
It’s all about numbers – the numbers of pennies to millions, no billions of dollars that pass through the hands of the industry every year – an irrational self-serving system wearing the clothing of a rational business backed by The Law.
To transcend these fallacious reasons for squeezing both the artists and the peeps for more number, and to keep the dynamic model analogous, we have a simple solution at our disposal that completely transcends the ir-rational paradox of the recording industry, the RIAA, and the CRB.
Pi.
It’s all in there.
Every CD, DVD, piece of software, (good, bad, flawed by one byte (every byte)
f(c)=n!^(n-1) – where n is the number of elements, factorial raised to a number which describes the maximum number of numerative cycles before the described set could be observed – pi is irrational because it goes on forever. Any rational sequence can be found in Pi because it is a non algebraic function – it cannot be reduced to zero (null.) It is, therefore, transcendental.
What I’m sayin’ is that Pi holds all copyrighted data ever to have been, or which shall be devised by the mind and machine of man. You can’t shake it, and you can’t break it.
Begone, foul beasts!
Happy Pi Day

just saw PI the movie. liked it.
how can i email you, keeps bouncing by postmaster... ?
i like to close my eyes and imagine a giant fart, hot and nasty enough to pee-eew the whole world, growling and glowing and growing deep inside my magical cosmic bowels. then I let it explode. fiery colors everywhere.
then a little stick figure me sticks up his invisible stick middle finger and screams into the bleak:
Criminalize this you greyface bumtards!
Yuck... I don't imagine such things (I'm so much more desirable than SxWthgd...) ;) :0 :) <3 LY
