Is the voice of the Indie and Consumer getting heard. Maybe.

"In Maverick Entertainment cases, Judge Howell orders (pdf) the copyright holders to dismiss all the cases for which they indicated they would not name the defendants. This means that it will result in a dismissal “for all John Doe defendants for which the plaintiff has received identifying information as of February 1st, 2011.”
This is a particular ruling since this John Doe strategy was allowing the RIAA goons to gang pillage logfiles of the various ISPs and just go trolling for victims.   We are not in favor of you stealing music and we hope you buy ours.  However! 1 thing we'll not do is sue the consumer for Copyright infringements.
Now the moment one Cloud Streaming services places 1 Altavoz song inside on their "Cloud":  1st) we'll know 2nd) We'll publicly bust them, 3rd) we can hire lawyers. In fact our IP lawyer is one of the very bes59t in DC. 
The Altavoz Family feels that if you are offered the music in the ways that you want it at a reasonable price. We everyone knows that the artists are getting paid and you get to Help Earth.   Who's not for all of that and then some. We now are ready to offer the world all of it. Bricks to Clicks is not some dream of a you internet pioneers some 17 years ago.........

It's the Future of Music Today.........



BTW Here is the link to  Cashman Law Firm's blog.  They have been representing some of the victims of the RIAA GraySuit hitman http://www.cashmanlawfirm.com/home/cashman-law-firm-blogs. So if you have been served papers regarding such matter you now have a link to a law firm.

Mi2N.com - US IP Czar Proposes Limits On Civil Rights And Liberties To Protect Big Content

Obama Administration is showing that they know very little of the state of the music business and or they are just stooges for the Major labels.


Which by our reckonin'  are stealing American jobs, and taking Profits overseas and now they want to fill our prisions with folks that do what radio users do every day~ hear music without the artist being compensated.





" White House's IP czar Victoria Espinel is calling on Congress to further expand and toughen U.S. intellectual property law, which is already among the most sweeping and strictest in the world. Copyright regulation has grown into a massive and complicated bureaucratic system, which has lost sight of it purpose and limits. The capture of this Administration and key members of Congress by the powerful special interests called Big Content continues to grow as demonstrated by this report, which fails to address the need for a balanced reform approach.

Espinel is asking Congress to expand federal wiretapping laws to pursue those accused of infringing on copyrighted material, and to ensure that illegally streaming movies, once considered only civil infractions, be treated as felonies".
