• Description : CLICK MORE FOR LINKS!!!! Volley ...(more)#4, with some new information for you folks about the WMG situation, and what I believe we should be doing in all this. The thing that's humorous to me in all this is that I'm being contacted by a lot of places asking for interviews or information like I'm the "leader of the revolution" here. Ya wear a camo jacket and suddenly you're leading revolutions? good thing I'm not wearing the beret... But this is a little bit of a rant, and a little bit of a "we need to make a social revolution". I may make a second video with the stuff I left out of this one because I left out a good 5-6 minutes of "who to talk to" and "what to do", but something tells me you all pretty much know that part already. Keep the fax machines humming at WMG and Google/YouTube. Social engineering isn't fast, but the results are so much better than brute force. The other thing I'm finding interesting is that YouTube has stopped e-mailing me about audio takedowns, and they're just muting things without the courtesy of letting me know about it. So if one of my educational vids is muted, please let me know here? Thank you much!
