Musicians Vs. EFF, finally!

'Blacklist Bill' Would 'Effectively Eliminate' the DMCA... - Digital Music News

I'm encouraged by the user comments following this editorial by an EFF lawyer. Musicians are FINALLY learning that Google, the EFF and big tech are not their friends and the reason why artists today will not have sustainable careers!

Artists and Musicians are finally waking up to the fact that the EFF is a schill for big tech and nothing more. The EFF is really scared right now, if these new bills pass into law, there goes their meal ticket.

Sad to see this still being trotted out as the main evidence:
Quote:
I don't have time to list the dozen+ gov and academic studies that show positive correlations to p2p use and increased media buying. Perhaps you should be getting your information from studies not funded or touted by the RIAA/IFPI?
Then read Oberholzer-Gee, F. & Strumpf, K. (2007).

considering that, that report has been openly debonked, and even Oberholzer-Gee, F. & Strumpf had to revise their findings!
