TO WHOM, ETC,
HEREWITH AND HEREBY I GIVE FAIR AND FINAL WARNING TO THE CORPORATE VULTURES OF THIS SOCIETY:
I BURN CDs OF MY OWN MUSIC: WRITTEN BY ME, COMPOSED BY ME, PERFORMED BY ME, RECORDED BY ME, POST PROCESSED BY ME, BURNED TO CD BY ME! NO SAMPLING OF ANY COPYWRITTEN MATERIAL OTHER THAN MINE OR OTHER UNLICENCED CO-CREATORS IS INVOLVED. YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY CONSIDERING ME IN CONTRAVENTION OF ANY LAW, STATUTE OR COMMON DOCTRINE BECAUSE I SELF-PUBLISH WITHOUT THE AID OF THE INDUSTRY. THIS IS NOT A CRIME! I CANNOT BE FORCED TO LICENCE MY OWN MATERIAL FOR MY OWN USE AND DISTRIBUTION. MONITORING ME BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE LICENCES FROM BIG MEDIA FIRMS AND MEDIA INTRUSION IN SEARCH OF UNLICENCED MATERIAL HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN THEFT OF MY PROPERTY. MY RECORDING EQUIPMENT AND FILES HAVE BEEN UNLAWFULLY ACCESSED AND DAMAGED. AS A CLASS OF SELF-PUBLISHING ARTISTS I AVOW INTENT TO
PURSUE LEGAL REDRESS FOR ALL DAMAGES.
BOTH ITUNES AND WINDOWS MEDIA ILLEGALLY SEIZE AND REPRODUCE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AS A FUNCTION OF THEIR DESIGN. THIS IS ILLEGAL TO AN ENTIRE CLASS OF ARTISTS AND SHALL BE PROVEN SO. THE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER HELP FILES STATE:
"If you copy protect the tracks that you rip from a CD, the ripped files are protected, which means that media usage rights are required to play, burn, or sync the file. If you copy the files to another computer and try to use them, you might be prompted to download media usage rights for that computer. There are a limited number of times that you can download media usage rights for your ripped files."
WHY SHOULD ANY ARTIST WHO CREATES AND SELF-PUBLISHES THEIR OWN MUSIC BE LIMITED BY A MEDIA COMPANY/SOFTWARE PROVIDER
IN BEING ABLE TO USE THEIR OWN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY WHENEVER AND WHEREVER THEY SO CHOOSE? THIS IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS AND DAMAGING KIND!
MY LAWYERS IN ANY LEGAL CLASS ACTION WOULD BE:
WILLIAM PANZER, OAKLAND, CA
MICHAEL BELO, DENVER, CO
BOTH OF WHOM ARE PERSONAL FRIENDS AND HAVE WITNESSED THE CREATION OF THIS MUSIC BY ME, AND MY FRIENDS OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS. MY RECORDINGS DATE TO THE '70s AND ARE MY AND MY FELLOW CREATOR'S COPYRIGHTED PROPERTY. ATTEMPTS BY WINDOWS MEDIA, ITUNES, MICROSOFT AND APPLE TO ACCESS AND AQUIRE MY MUSIC HAVE RESULTED IN LOSSES TO MY BODY OF WORK. MICROSOFT AND APPLE WILL PAY JUST COMPENSATION OR WILL RESPOND TO A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN COURT AND IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION FOR THE NEXT DECADE. I HAVE 30 YEARS OF RECORDS OF HARD DRIVE INTRUSIONS, AS HARD COPY. I HAVE NOTHING BUT TIME AND RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION. MY STORY WILL BE TOLD. ALL THE SELF-PUBLISHED ARTISTS OF THE WORLD DESERVE NO LESS.
