Comments on: Why the RIAA Should Hang Robin Hood http://thewaronbullshit.com/2007/08/09/riaa03/ Take No Prisoners Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:38:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Francois Tremblay http://thewaronbullshit.com/2007/08/09/riaa03/#comment-656 Francois Tremblay Sat, 11 Aug 2007 20:16:50 +0000 http://thewaronbullshit.com/2007/08/09/riaa03/#comment-656 "These quotes exemplify a common attitude, especially prevalent in western society, that the big bad corporation deserves a little payback and should not pick on poor, helpless teenagers, students, seniors, etc. I call this the Robin Hood argument: Robin Hood isn’t a bad guy because his victims are rich and his beneficiaries are poor." What?? That was NOT my point at all! The RIAA is not a corporation, it is an activist group allied with government agencies in order to enforce unjust regulations on poor college students. I am against the RIAA's strong-arm tactics because of that fact, not because they "represent" big corporations. To be honest, your inference is kindof insulting. I am anti-corporations, but only because of the State support they receive in the form of laws and subsidies. I do know that people who work for corporations are people worthy of rights like everyone else. PS Robin Hood was a good guy NOT because his victims were rich, but because his victims were State agents. There's a difference. “These quotes exemplify a common attitude, especially prevalent in western society, that the big bad corporation deserves a little payback and should not pick on poor, helpless teenagers, students, seniors, etc. I call this the Robin Hood argument: Robin Hood isn’t a bad guy because his victims are rich and his beneficiaries are poor.”
