@CollinRugg@MarcoPolo501c3 My god, you people are the most Pearl clutching bunch of assholes I’ve ever seen! Haha….
Who gives a fuck what some guy said to some sketchy partisan hack douche.
Who told you people to get upset about this?
HAHAHA…..
I see a number of people wondering why songwriters don't strike since obviously our pay is shit in the digital age. Many implying it's some how our fault we don't. Here's some fun facts I bet most don't know.
1) The DOJ regards songwriters as producers of goods, so we aren't even allowed to collectively bargain much less strike. We can be prosecuted for even attempting to bargain collectively.
2) The federal government sets the royalty rates for two of the three streams of royalties. It's clearly too low.
3) federal compulsory licenses do not allow us to choose who gets to use our work. Literally no way for us to withhold our work.
It's a cautionary tale, for those inviting federal oversight into their industry may, like songwriters, find the feds siding with the trillion dollar companies like YouTube and Amazon rather than the workers.
I'm also a SAG-AFTRA member. It would be nice if screen writers and actors supported songwriters the way songwriters have supported screenwriters during this strike. Jus' saying.
@therealmdv I’ve known this guy for a long time. Has been Q anon for several years but never heard him talk about any racist stuff. Was deep into the Q tho.
@Daniel_Sababa@PollySamson@rogerwaters How do people misunderstand the difference between the condemnation of a certain nation state and an actual race of people? It makes absolutely no sense.
@mtaibbi When the dems had their meeting in the war room to decide how to counter, it seems they all agreed on saying you are doing "PR for the richest man on earth". Geez! They couldn't come up with an original thought if someone slapped them with it.
