Speaking of piracy

This, via Adriana, tells it like it is:

Adriana also quotes the following, which I can only agree with:

The music industry has been one of the single most shortsighted, foolishly run, lawyer fed industries in this country, and I am a member of it, being a professional musician for the last 30 years. Perhaps if the industry wasn't so interested in the ONE demographic they think will spend money, and catered even just a little bit to the REST of the music interested world, they wouldn't be in this situation. If you are over 25, they don't give a flying rat's butt about what you want to hear, or even what you will pay for. They just don't care if you aren't in the 13-25 year old demographic. And so, when the kids who grew up with computers can outsmart the old idiots running the RIAA without even trying, I can only laugh. Too bad they insist on destroying not only everyone trying to actually get MUSIC out to people, but their audience, too.

So, does the Blowing Smoke DVD have the RIAA crap? :)

Don't know, don't have my copy to hand (I'm moving house across continents) and so can't tell you! I wouldn't be surprised to find out if it's a legal requirement to have it on there at this point, though. Someone less lazy than I, please look into this and report back.
