OT, but needs atention!!!

Y-ellow Y'all.
	So what else is noo. Sony stomp all over everything. They make Bill Gates
look like a victim. Why do you think we at INDEPENDENCE are so anti sony.

If it says Sony. Just say no.

Sony are the moronic bastards in suits kicking up a big stink about MP3s
Sony are the ones who colluded with Microsoft for a compression format
which you have to pay for.

Sony are the ones that killed the professional video market to such a point
that if you make video, you've got a choice between buying Sony or buying
Sony. And when Sony gear breaks down, no-one can fix the shit for 6 months
so your 200 grand's worth of D2 costs you a grand's worth of re-payments
each day while Sony work out the concept of spare parts availability.

Sony took over Gibson when they bought CBS. Look what Gibson are doing to
OPCODE at the moment. You can kiss Opcode goodbye. Not to mention every
other company touched by Gibson's kiss of death.

A few years back when the INDEPENDENCE movement became strong, Sony started
signing every half assed techno act they could find. They started releasing
meaningless compilation CDs of bands people only thought they'd heard of
before. All in an effort to flood the market and pollute it. Trying to
strangle the independent label's life blood. Then when they'd finished with
the artists they spat them out. And even though they had served Sony's
purpose they wouldn't release them from their contracts thus killing the
bands forever. And remember we're only talking about 2 percent of sony's
market here. Imagine the war they'd wage if we ever got 3 percent.

The reason you can't get hold of decent music in shops these days is
because Sony are hell bent on killing it. If it's not on Sony it shouldn't
exist is their attitude. Once they've signed one techno or EM act they
figure... "Well we've got one what do we need another one for?" And every
band who foolishly signs to Sony suddenly finds a vampire in a suit staring
over their shoulder watching their every move. Making changes to their
music and telling them when they can and can't take a dump. And if bands
don't comply with Sony they call it a contractual infringement and crush
them like bugs.

Sony is nothing more than a multinational Pimp. And their artists, if not
down trodden and ripped off are nothing more than artistic prostitutes.

Sony own everything and it doesn't surprise me that they'd take the
attitude that they can take what ever they want when ever they want it.

SONY JUST SAY NO!

Be absolutely Icebox.
