A music Video for the song ‘Reconsider Everything’ by 311. Computers, Rioting and Police brutality, corruption of the courts... what’s not to love? In all
seriousness though this is about filesharing online.
Filesharing helps people make things like flash cartoons by providing the software and audio tracks to coexist in their films. They also provide inspiration for artists of every kind. the Government thinks people should pay for the music they download. They are fining children and adults for Filesharing and swapping files electronically over message boards using technology. The Technology they paid big money to get, with the internet they pay a monthly fee to use. But by taking these files that one would assume are free for the taken has become a crime. The US Government is undergoing the legislation of a bill to make it illegal to share files. (Yet its perfectly legal for corporation to insert adware onto my computer without my consent to bombard me with advertisements) Giant corporations are suing families with kids, and Parents risk losing their home, since prosecutors can be charged up to $150,000 per song and usually settle out of court with a payment of $3,000-$10,000 probably from a second mortgage. Big business is choking the middle class. They claim this to be a free country, but then the rich shouldn’t have better access to intangible Products like music. Music belongs to everyone. Musicians are still paid when they perform at concerts. The people who are not paid are the corporate whores who are taking our rights away from us. Musicians will keep making music whether they are paid or not, because they enjoy it. Its
not about the cash. Its about inspiring your peers and contributing. Just like I didn’t receive any money to make this cartoon. And if you are only doing it for cash, I better not see you on the street, because those that are doing things only for monetary reward need to get out of any creative field. Everyone needs to fight for our freedom, even if it means picketing in the streets or rioting against corrupt police officers. We have to be united to fight this injustice. Things have to change in this country. Only we can change them. Write to your senators! Vote for politicians that will uphold our rights. BE an ACTIVIST. ... RECONSIDER
EVERYTHING...
