What a KERFUFFLE!
How dare those rude Americans "ruin the fun" for an "entrepreneur?"
Most people can't understand the KERFUFFLE concerning that funny-named, rotund and jolly millionaire from New Zealand named "Kim Dotcom." He is wailing that the horrible and greedy Americans have taken away his mansion and his bank accounts.
He's getting "nice comments" from various Brits, Canadians, Aussies, etc. all shouting, "Damn those Americans!"
You can be sure one of his defenders is Deja Vu's own Seniormole, who knows EVERYTHING about the music business. This old man has a righteous and self-entitled view that is about as enlightened as Richard III or Henry VIII. He's no doubt grumping in his secret forum at this very moment: "Americans are hurling their POO. Why don't they leave the poor man alone? And let's say something NICE about Hans, too."
Nevermind the in-jokes. Here's how poor Kim has been outed. Let's all cry:
People read that, and instantly side with HIM.
Even if the reports pointed out he was pirating movies and music, people would STILL side with HIM. Because, guess what, "EVERYONE DOES IT" so that makes it right. People who would not think of shoplifting a lima bean out of Tesco grin and talk about how they love Pirate Bay and Kickass.
And who doesn't feel sorry for such an obese fellow? Obviously he was using Megaupload to steal movies, apps, porn, books and most of all entire discographies of The Beach Boys and every other musician and every new release, just...to feed himself.
The guy is SO cute. "Dotcom" is such a nicer name than SCHMITZ. (Just as Mr. Shicklgruber became "Hitler," a much nicer name to give to a wife and a new baby named Adolf).
While Seniormole and various other funny-named "pirates" and "friends of pirates" applauded Megaupload because "entertainment should be FREE," Kim Dotcom was becoming a billionaire. It's easy to do when you make ad money, and you charge for "premium" accounts so people can download entire movies faster. He was entitled to it. What a generous fellow! All he was doing was stealing copyrighted material! Copyright? Copy WRONG! And let's remember, nobody has the right to own private property. That's why Seniormole and all the rest have no locks on their doors, and "share" everything with everyone. Don't they? That's why they work all day for free and just, oh, sell t-shirts to pay the rent.
How could anyone NOT identify with a German who stole everyone's property like Hitler did with the Jews? I knew an old man, near poverty, whose family had been rich. "We were Jews," he said. So Hitler and his gang made his father "sell" the rights to his home and business for a PENNY in exchange for letting the family flee. Only, heh heh, the family was then put in a concentration camp and only a few survived. Sort of like only a few record stores surviving. Only a few 70's musicians still having record deals. Only a few TV expensive TV shows being made while reality show garbage fills up the channels because it's cheaper to produce so piracy doesn't hurt so much.
Schmitz, the admirable, sharing "Genius" of Megaupload, loved for giving away other peoples' copyrighted work as part of some "New Order" philosophy, made such a fortune he could almost own his own country! He flew to New Zealand and was like a king, presiding over the biggest estate there and becoming a powerful figure that the corrupt government never bothered. He even got himself some slavish Asian geisha girl for a wife. Money talks. He was viewed as the kindest, most giving fellow in the world. People who hate and envy artists and record labels even more than they hate Jews, were eager to agree. Heil Dotcom! Everything should be FREE...just pay this guy for a "premium account."
PS, the Megaupload and Pirate Bay template is PERFECT. At worst, make banner ad money and a fortune by tossing malware and spyware into the downloads and taking money from organized crime. After all, you're getting all your raw material...the movies and music and the rest of it...FREE. Talk about low overhead! It sure helps when your budget isn't $100,000 to make a record or $10 million to make a movie somebody might want to see. As Seniormole would tell you, it's simple economics! It's like Scientology. It's like Spotify. Mmm, let's have some more of that drugged Kool-Aid that makes us all into BELIEVERS. Something for nothing! It works! It works!
Kim is playing the "victim" card so well. Rich, obese, but a victim of some kind of witch hunt, he is telling the world he's just an entrepreneur and a businessman. Never mind what "Megaupload" did. Forget it. It's as easy as forgetting the six million who died in gas chambers. Oh, it never happened. Or if it did, it was a small number. And they deserved it.
Oh, those rich record labels, those big Hollywood companies...they were charging too much.
And you wonder how Nazi Germany happened? It was because average "intelligent" people like Seniormole and Dave Marsh and Miss Mephisto (that's her real name, of course) and Assange and the rest ALL believe in scapegoating.
They ALL believe in something for nothing...as long as it's not THEIR something being given away. "Royalties? Why should a musician get ROYALTIES" they always sneered, while they demanded a pension and social security for life. "New paradigm! Find a new paradigm," they cried, but if you told one of 'em "you're no longer getting paid for your work, find a new paradigm" that person would scream in the street like a raped chihuahua.
What Kim Dotcom did was take a page from the Hitler and Mussolini and Dillinger and John Gotti playbook: give people something for FREE, and give them scapegoats to hate. "Mussolini made the trains run on time. Great man!" "Hitler took away the stores and factories run by those awful Jews!" "Hitler wants everyone to be White and Aryan, so what's not to like?" "I get free music...just like John Gotti gave away free fireworks on the Fourth of July, just like Dillinger tipped big!"
To the uninformed, to the greedy, to the selfish, to the heartless, Kim Dotcom is a hero. He's a martyr. He's a victim. Nevermind that he simply was the greediest pig on the planet and bragged about his wealth. Nevermind that hundreds of little Hitlers named Hans and Zinfuck are not yet in jail. Meanwhile, the dirty little fortune cookie who NEVER would've been anywhere near Kim the overstuffed Nazi if he wasn't filthy rich, wants a piece of the spoils for her very own.
"Don't ruin our fun!" "Don't hurl your poo!" "Americans are horrible!" "Find a new paradigm!" "Music should be free!" "Kim Dotcom is generous!" "Go sell t-shirts!" "Let them eat cake!"
Say nice things about Hitler. Manson was framed. ISIS is only reacting to the nasty behavior of Israel and America. Procol Harum is simply thinning the herd by murdering women and children in Nigeria. Jim Jones knew what he was talking about. Scientology is the key.
Sip another cuppa, Seniormole. Write your fan letter to Kim Dotcom. Roll your eyes over how silly the human rights of copyright holders, record store owners and movie producers are. Nobody's entitled to be in control of their work and their lives except YOU, YOU who keeps his doors and windows locked because nobody is going to SHARE what YOU have. Right, Seniormole? If someone takes something of YOURS without your consent, you call the cops. It's THEFT. But if it's a musician or a writer...it's NOT theft, and it's a kerfuffle and greedy foolishness if they don't want to "share."
Poor Kim Dotcom...oh copyright is copy wrong....oh those horrible greedy Americans...oh, the kerfuffle...
