I know it’s late, but thanks to everyone who attended my graduation party two weeks ago. I had a really good time and I hope you guys did to. I enjoyed seeing a lot of people that I hadn’t seen in a long time. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their schedule to see me and commemorate one of my bigger life steps. It really did mean a lot to me.
I’m not sure if many of you have heard, but Viacom sued Google for all the user’s information on YouTube because of some copyright issues. This is why I don’t like the current set of Media Conglomerates. They don’t care about the consumer. All they care about is the profits they’ll make off of you. Obviously any sane company would work with Google to get copyrighted video clips off of YouTube. Money crazed media companies however want to play big brother and monitor every single video you watched and every single video search you performed. And sadly, they won that suit. How can such a gross violation of privacy like that be allowed?
It’s just like the RIAA. They sue everyone who they think has downloaded music illegally, sometimes winning and sometimes not, but artists have seen none of the money. The whole point of the suits, according to the RIAA is because bands, artists, performers, etc are losing money. Yet any money they win does not filter back to the artists at all.
Our American economy is out of control. Just like the artificially inflated gas prices at the pump. How can the oil companies be taking in record profits if they’re only raising prices because of global demand? That would only result in the same profits coming in if they were taking the same margin. Obviously they’re not.
Money makes the world keep spinning <3
