But along with this, there is an important matter that is all too often overlooked. In all the debates, no one ever considers the fate of the large number of hard-working MP3 players that will become unemployed if MP3 regulation becomes law. We MP3 players want nothing but to do our jobs. We only want the right to do an honest day's work. And yet, recording industry moguls demand that we be put out of work so they can line their Armani pockets.
People like to say the United States values equality of opportunity.
But right now, it is only the fatcats looking out from their marble porticos and verandas that glimpse a brighter future. Shut down MP3Board, shut down Napster, shut down Gnutella, and you shut down our lives. All we want to do is serve our country by playing MP3 music, and the richie riches in the recording industry are trying to take our right to work away. Take away an MP3 player's work, and you take away its dignity. Now, I know the injustice of this situation may outrage you.
