			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It recently occurred to me that I may have stumbled onto a very uncomfortable truth.</p>
<p>Could it be that the RIAA/MPAA are fronts for the Green Party here in the US?</p>
<p>As the number of pirates has decreased, the Earth has seen a steady increase in average global temperature (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming">global warming</a>).</p>
<p>This was first dutifully reported by Bobby in May 2005 in his <a href="http://www.venganza.org/about/open-letter/">Open Letter to the Kansas School Board</a>:</p>
<p><a title="Pirates are Cool" class="imagelink" rel="attachment" id="p59" href="http://weblog.terrellrussell.com/2007/01/the-riaa-and-mpaa-are-fronts-for-the-green-party/piratesarecool4jpg/" /></p>
<div style="text-align: center"><a title="Pirates are Cool" class="imagelink" rel="attachment" id="p59" href="http://weblog.terrellrussell.com/2007/01/the-riaa-and-mpaa-are-fronts-for-the-green-party/piratesarecool4jpg/"><img alt="Pirates are Cool" id="image59" src="http://weblog.terrellrussell.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/piratesarecool4.jpg" /></a></div>
<p>This can only be causal, and therefore, the RIAA and MPAA have joined forces, undercover of course, to save the world.  The <a href="http://www.azoz.com/music/features/0008.html">RIAA creates pirates by changing the math behind their sales numbers</a> and the <a href="http://www.defamer.com/topic/mpaa-ready-to-sue-pirates-024974.php">MPAA creates pirates by suing everyone, everywhere</a>.  The <a href="http://www.greenparty.org/">Green Party</a> has the same motive &#8211; albeit through environmental awareness and policy instead of manipulation of the merchantile population&#8217;s underbelly.</p>
<p>This would be in stark contrast to the recent <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070110/004225.shtml">TechDirt post about the RIAA&#8217;s apparent behavior not-unlike the French Button-Makers of the 17th century</a>.  I can&#8217;t decide what to believe.  The first seems so noble, and this one, not.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/10/20/boy_scouts_shill_for.html">The Boy Scouts seem to be marginally involved as well</a>.  So conflicted.</p>
<p>What would the Flying Spaghetti Monster suggest?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/12/01/mpaa_its_ok_to_copy_.html">Perhaps start the Everyone-Gets-A-Vault fund</a>?  I&#8217;d donate.</p>
