Microsoft ’shoulder to shoulder’ with AFACT

[p2p rules]

Microsoft and the Business Software Alliance, of which Microsoft is a founding member, have openly come out in support of Hollywood and Big Music in their efforts to gain control of the Internet as their exclusive distribution and marketing and vehicle, and the castigation of their own customers.

In a huff’n'puff release, today, the MIPI and AFACT, both shabby entertainment cartel outfits, say they  “stood shoulder to shoulder in support of the Australian Federal Police’s (AFP) co-ordinated action against large scale counterfeit products in Australia”, with the Biggies standing in the shadows.

AFP leaders have become Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music, and Disney, News Corp, Time Warner, Viacom, NBC Universal and Sony Pictures, dupes, dancing to their tunes and acting according to their scripts — with Australian taxpayers footing the bills.
