| RIAA Video - Music Piracy, Terrorism and Illegal Drugs |
| 2008-02-21 |
| This is a leaked official RIAA training video produced with the National District Attorneys Association telling U.S. prosecutors why they should bust music pirates: Because it'll lead them to "everything from handguns to large quantities of cocaine [and] marijuana," not to mention terrorists and murderers! The whole video is over 60 minutes long—these are just two of the more outrageous minutes with Jim Dedman, from the NDAA, interviewing Deborah Robinson and Frank Walters from the RIAA about the benefits of going SWAT on music pirates. At one point, Walters says the piracy/drug connection can be so bad that you get asked "When you buy a CD, would you like it with or without—the with is enclosing a piece of crack or whatever the case may be." |

| #4 A boat carrying executives from the RIAA is sinking. Another boat carrying members of Hezbollah is also sinking. You can only save one group. Do you: A) Go get a beer. B) Play a video game C) Go fishing D) Make popcorn |

| #1 And they wonder why the music industry is falling apart. Hint, assholes. Sign some good bands and stop with the cookie cutter bullshit you call music these days. |
