Maybe “Artists against the Record Label Lobby Pir­ates” sounds bet­ter? Gov­ern­ments all over the world think about restric­tions of private rights. Some of them already did so, it is an ongo­ing pro­cess. Private cop­ies? No! Record a film shown on tv? No! You’ll even have to instantly for­get every bit of inform­a­tion that was broad­cast (even free to air), if the lobby asso­ci­ations have their way. Even if you go to cinema, you have to tol­er­ate this flat “Anti Pir­acy” ads. Who has bought this bloody expens­ive ticket, I ask you? Who is pay­ing for this ad? Who has to feel guilty if he or she recor­ded a film shown on TV? Well, ok, come down again :)

Today at least some artist asso­ci­ations stroke back. Have a look at the links below. Great cam­paigns, IMHO!
