WTF?!?! The RIAA’s New Plan… Shut Down Internet Access for Suspected Music Sharers.

I almost spit coffee on my computer when I read this…

Then, I thought about the word “idiot” and how the RIAA must be made up exclusively of idiots.

So their new plan is this… with help from ISPs, the RIAA will shut off internet access for any suspected music sharers. Are you kidding me?

Everything I want to type right now would be offensive, so I will refrain. But go read about it yourself.

Read it on Tech Gossip

Read it on the Washington Post

FU RIAA :)

Maroon 5 Remix Contest

Grab your headphones and get ready to remix again…

Marron 5 is teaming up with IMEEN and making the stems from their hit single “If I Never See Your Face Again” available to the public and giving them full creative control to remix the song.

Maroon 5 is releasing their new CD December 9th 2008, “Call & Response: The Remix Album” – a concept album where their favorite artists remixed tracks from both of Maroon 5’s multiplatinum releases.  And now you have the same opportunity as artists like Pharrell Williams, ?uestlove, Cut Copy and Swizz Beatz.

The person with the winning remix will be flown to Miami to DJ at the Remix Hotel on the Beatport stage during the Winter Music Conference. But don’t be fooled; just because its the Winter Music Conference doesn’t mean its gonna be cold… Miami is always hot… and the ladies of Miami are too!!

Deadline to enter the Maroon5 remix contest is January 4, 2009.

Enter the contest now.
