\"Anti-Anti-Piracy<\/a>53×11<\/i> has responded to the FBI’s ubiquitous new anti-piracy seal with an Anti-Anti-Piracy Seal<\/a> that alerts people to artists who support file-sharing:<\/p>\n

Independent artists need a method to alert fans that they won’t face 20 years of prison time for downloading their songs. In an effort to combat the FBI’s Anti-Piracy Seal, I have created an alternative logo for artists who aren’t concerned with file sharing and federal level copyright infringement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I doubt you’ll ever see this on an actual album, but I think it’s a good idea…<\/p>\n

While I’m on the topic, I have something to say about these new FBI seals. As J-Walk Blog<\/i><\/a> notes, stamping these logos on album covers and the CDs themselves effectively defaces them, penalizing people who went to the trouble of legally buying the CD. <\/p>\n

Along the same libes, the recent settlements the RIAA made over file-sharing litigations<\/a> are proving to be less and less realistic now that services like Napster and Yahoo offer unlimited streaming for as little as $5 a month and iTunes offers downloads for $1 a song. The RIAA’s settlements of thousands of dollars seem ludicrous when the music is now demonstrably worth as little as $5<\/a>. When will the RIAA get with the times and realize that their heavy-handed methods alienate rather than educate consumers? <\/p>\n
