John Fund is very, very upset over the FCC's weaksauce Net Neutrality declarations and he's aiming at 'wealthy left-wing' organizations as the culprits. This makes me happy. When a winger can only squirm over something so weak and toothless as to be useless, it's a good day. But look at who he aims at! Paranoid, much?
Free Press and allied groups such as MoveOn.org quickly got funding. Of the eight major foundations that provided the vast bulk of money for campaign-finance reform, six became major funders of the media-reform movement. (They are the Pew Charitable Trusts, Bill Moyers's Schumann Center for Media and Democracy, the Joyce Foundation, George Soros's Open Society Institute, the Ford Foundation, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.) Free Press today has 40 staffers and an annual budget of $4 million.
These wealthy funders pay for more than publicity and conferences. In 2009, Free Press commissioned a poll, released by the Harmony Institute, on net neutrality. Harmony reported that "more than 50% of the public argued that, as a private resource, the Internet should not be regulated by the federal government." The poll went on to say that since "currently the public likes the way the Internet works . . . messaging should target supporters by asking them to act vigilantly" to prevent a "centrally controlled Internet."
To that end, Free Press and other groups helped manufacture "research" on net neutrality. In 2009, for example, the FCC commissioned Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society to conduct an "independent review of existing information" for the agency in order to "lay the foundation for enlightened, data-driven decision making."
Considering how openly activist the Berkman Center has been on these issues, it was an odd decision for the FCC to delegate its broadband research to this outfit. Unless, of course, the FCC already knew the answer it wanted to get.
Wow. Openly activist? The Berkman Center? Here's the Berkman Center's Berkman@10 page, with some of their research projects and discussions posted online. Such terribly activist things. Open innovation, The Dilemma of Games, The Musician and the Scientist, and yes, Network Neutrality (not Internet Neutrality, by the way), as well as one called The Battle for the Web. Hardly activist.
Current projects include a Law Library wiki, a discussion of money in politics, and a paper about online political organizing. Again, not activist. Wonky. Educational. But not activist. I confess to zooming in on Fund's remarks about Berkman because I am a huge fan and avid reader of Doc Searls, who has been a Berkman Fellow for the past 4 years.
Berkman aside, the issue of Net Neutrality has always been about a democratic internet, one where everyone has equal access to content and pipes. The organizations Fund villifies in his post are organizations dedicated to the preservation of freedom of speech and free flows of information, so I'm struggling to reconcile the conservative maxim of constitutional freedoms above all with his abuse of organizations who strive to protect it.
I didn't have to struggle too long. A closer reading of his rant reveals a corporate agenda which trumps any speech rights.
The net neutrality vision for government regulation of the Internet began with the work of Robert McChesney, a University of Illinois communications professor who founded the liberal lobby Free Press in 2002. Mr. McChesney's agenda? "At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies," he told the website SocialistProject in 2009. "But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control."
A year earlier, Mr. McChesney wrote in the Marxist journal Monthly Review that "any serious effort to reform the media system would have to necessarily be part of a revolutionary program to overthrow the capitalist system itself." Mr. McChesney told me in an interview that some of his comments have been "taken out of context." He acknowledged that he is a socialist and said he was "hesitant to say I'm not a Marxist."
I am neither a socialist nor a Marxist, but I believe that the Internet should be preserved as something everyone can access equally, and am frustrated on a near-daily basis by the stranglehold providers have on that access. Fund's suggestion that net neutrality and regulatory authority over access somehow stifles innovation is to believe that the sole innovators are cable and telephone companies. In fact, the opposite is true. The true innovation has come from many different sources, including inhabitants of the Internet itself.
Facebook, Twitter, Google and blogs were not the invention of AT&T, after all.
The real threat to innovation is handing the keys to all of the Internet gates to the likes of Comcast, AT&T and Verizon. And yet, that is exactly what the FCC did with their weird ruling yesterday.

What’s funny is, I remember calling Eskay earlier this year and talking to him about a certain label and majors in general. We never really came up with a plan on how to implement a blog community embargo. Mainly cause people are in this “game” for different agendas and it’d be damn near impossible to get everyone to cooperate. Besides we still got some sites that are in the back pockets of labels that wouldn’t dare rage against the machine (How else would their interns get paid?)
I’ve almost stopped paying attention to the content aggregation and just going a completely different direction. I’m not worried about the #freeonsmash movement (they’ll be fine, whaddup hof) I’m worried about what ARE WE GONNA DO AS A COMMUNITY to show the machine, we can play hardball too. [||]
It’s time to start to creating and not rely or depend on an “exclusive new lil ___” or a world premiere JAY-__ West” –>insert canadian rapper here<– .mp3 to draw in the masses and dedicated readers of our site.

And that is a big reason why we’re all (bloggers, artists, labels) in the fucked up situation we’re in now. You know who has some power to help though? Artists. You guys need to step up and show some nuts man. You guys talk real tough in your raps and you say you support these sites when you have an album dropping, but then I don’t see you running up on your label’s VP of Legal demanding that the threats stop. If rap blogs helped you sell records, or launched your career, or got your name back out there, then guess what? It’s time to man the fuck up and put some pressure on those labels that you claim work for you. Stand up for something before there’s nothing left to stand up for.
^^
This rant would mean a lot more if there wasn’t a complex media toolbar at the bottom of the page and all types of ads surrounding it.
When your talking about “counting your money” you make for aggregating content from the same artists you are claiming to “help” ( and seriously, are you really helping Sean Combs at this point? or Wale? or Donnis? FOH) while simulanetously showing disdain for artists who don’t wanna play by your rules such as Wasalu or Curtis, how can you be suprised at the results?
You aren’t a tastemaker anymore– if you were, you wouldn’t post half the bullshit you post.
You want the pageviews, the ad-clicks, etc, and the more you have hoared out your internet space, the more you have brought on your own situation you find yourself in now.
You wanted to be part of the industry so bad you have now become tied into the politics– and the labels have been playing the game MUCH longer than you have, with a lot more resources.
The smart thing to do would be to PROVE your power (such as it is) to said labels and stop posting ALL of their shit– NOTHING from Atlantic, Interscope, etc.
Focus on artists you actually like and wish to promote– if you actually feel that you have the ability to create an artist and sustain their buzz, PROVE IT.
But you won’t.
Because now you need the money those established artist brings via their page views.
And thats why you fail.

IE used to be less secure than Firefox. I’ve heard it’s on par now with its security, but after installing AdBlock on FF and Chrome, I hate whenever I have to use IE for something. I also think Firefox and Chrome are faster, and their interfaces are easier to use for me. Those last couple things are just my opinion, though.
Firefox and Chrome are also easy to customize – you can put iTunes controls in your browser, block all ads (I don’t see anything on NR except the Complex bar), etc.

IE is a dinosaur…..its like having dial-up internet.
Google Chrome (for example)….has built-in spell check, tabbing which make multiple page viewings easier, it’s super fast, and it has a unique way of downloading files that I’m too tired to explain.
Just make the move.
It’s also less prone to shutting down, popups and viruses.

Is it really, though?
I thought you owned the blog?
Or do the labels own you?
Whats the most important thing to you?
You integrity? Or your payout?
I mean, you can have both, right?
Or are you more concerned with one than the other?
Because that’s what Ashmi’s 5,000 words at the top of this post sound like– he seems more upset that he’s realized he’s being used than anything else.
And if you truly feel like that, and you have any ounce of integrity or belief in your product, then you would simply say no.
But like I said, your survival is now tied into posting the video’s of Sean Combs, and the pictures of what CamelGOAT had for breakfast, and Kanye in his latest evening wear…
And the occasional Fred the Godson video– ya know, to keep it real and all that.

great read.. very true and very sad… gone are the days when you have the hot record on radio and its all you need… at this point both the artists and labels are getting sad for example puff has numerous videos out and the album hasn’t even dropped officially so a month or so after it does the hype will cease the record sales will slow all the way down and it’ll be on to the next project… value your own shit what happened to letting each single live a little like the old days…

Thats the key though.
Why complain then?
The fuck this fat nigga got to be mad over? Telling artists to “take control”… For What?
Niggas know you still gonna download their song links to hulkshare and post them diligently.
And if he is saying, “Yea, I just wanna make my money,” then why is he ranting about what he would happen if he stopped posting their shit?
Its like I said– his survival is intertwined with these labels and their artists– he eats because they provide the REASON to come to his site, so what the fuck is his problem?
If you really feel some type of way, then say “No thanks” and deal with whatever consequences that arise.
Or just shut up, smoke your weed, and keep paying for loosie cigs and 50 cent bags of Doritos from the Corner Bodega with your ad money.
Simple as that.

What exactly are you complaining about?

Or that if you don’t do what they say, you’ll lose money?
Your full of shit, B.
You have no power, b. Your not important in the grand scheme of things.
and you know it.
Your job is to promote these artists. They don’t give a fuck about your opinion, or if you shit on their work.
They just want you to post it on their site.
To promote THEM.
Your a worker Bee, not a Boss.
And trying to act like one really makes you look even stupider than your son.

These companies do suck at the internet .. haha.. Very well articulated, they are watching their own demise. Just like you stated above about evolving with the times and technology. Just like they figured out a way of becoming profitable with MP3 w/ I tunes and all that. They need to react with a practice that helps them earn revenue in this blogosphere. After they deduct what they should PAY YOU for giving them access to all your thousands of readers. They are on the brink of losing major exposure. And I highly doubt anyone standing up.

and once again, you won’t do shit to me. you would fucking kiss my toes if you ever had to face me in real life, and if your nuts ever drop and you decide to come to ny you can test the theory.
if not, Paypal me $2000 and I’ll get on a plane to whereever tomorrow. because my fucking time is money Jihad. I’m not some fucking bamma commenter who gets off on talking shit to his favorite blogger.

Your a worker Bee, not a Boss.

JiHad raises a good point. I been coming to Nah ever since my homeboy B told me about this site cuz he used to work with Eskay over at XXL. I never even fucked with rap blogs before then.
The point JihaD raised…or the thought he provoked is…wtf is NahRight about?
Besides mostly not posting unknown artists (donnie goines and such…esso is my homeboy so I can’t include him), what does NahRight stand for? What’s the standard for blogposts? What should a nigga expect when they check out NahRight for an update?

Sounds like this has been stewing for a while. The entire media industry is full of this fuckery.
One of the biggest manifestation has been Viacom suing YouTube and then the allegations that Viacom employees were uploading their promo content to YouTube.
And just last week we learned EMI posts songs on rapidshare and yet it’s the same industry that’s trying to sue them.
Sony arguably suffered the worst loss. Sony the music label / movie studio basically sabotaged Sony the technology company. At a time when MP3 players were just starting out, Sony hit us left, right, and center with their bullshit proprietary file formats. Then came the music cd rootkit nonsense where they were basically planting viruses on our computers. In the end, Apple basically came out of nowhere and stole their mojo. And I don’t feel the least bit sorry for them.
It’s like the media industry doesn’t have a clue. Type in your favorite artists/album into Google and add “rapidshare”, “usershare”, “sendspace”, “megaupload” or what ever and you’ve got a download link for what you’re looking for. Everytime one of these goes down, more just keep popping up.
Basically, the world will keep turning. If it ain’t on nahright, it’ll be some other blog. So I don’t blame eskay for competing. Plus the division between major / indie is so blurred these days it’s silly…have your favourite “major” label artists are on Koch.
Killing OnSmash was probably one of the stupidest things I ever seen. But whatever, life goes on.
The funny thing is that embargoes basically don’t exist on blogs. Usually the consequence for violating one is that your site gets blackballed from future exclusives. But industry’s got no choice but to come back to the same blogs because of how much reach they have lol.

so Blue Flame Agency sent a video to world premier but it was a raw copyright material that if uploaded to Youtube or any other video site the audio would have gotten silenced or removed altogether…
you don’t like the song…
your not getting compensation to post it…
You don’t have a video player nor do you want to sent it to ONSMASH to upload it fearing a C&D notice or even a shutdown…
why bother then w/ the labels & agencies that make you go through these obstacles?
they’ll still pay you for an 2 week album advertisement wallpaper on the front of the site. right?
if the major artist & label want to you to premier a music video require that its already been uploaded to their generic youtube or whatever video player instead of a raw video file..
problem solved no?

Thats What I Came To Nahright For… Along With The Clever Commentary And News Quips And All That…
And It Could Have Stayed THAT Simple
But When Bans Of Certain Artists Are Implemented And Grandstanding Is Threw Into The Mix, Then People Start To Question Motives….
Hence Whats Going On Now

Record labels are vampires resistant to adapting or even changing…
w/ mp3 & Napster first appeared they sick their RIAA dogs on 12 yr kids thinking that if they sue these kids for millions of dollars that it would deter downloading of music files…
they’ve controlled the record industry for a long time…for the better part of 10 yrs or so they’ve had very little control w/ their pockets getting lighter and lighter…with youtube, blogs, shutting down torrent & p2p sites they’re trying to regain control again…

Funny thing is he stays coming back for the same reason labels stay coming back – to generate buzz. People on here looking for new music so what better place than to promote your own? Jihad could easily post his music on other blogs but ain’t no one checking for it.
At the end of the day if it ain’t nah right, it’s some other blog / website. But since it just ain’t the same elsewhere, we just keep coming back nah right.
We continue to debate back and forth yet we’ll still be back. And NahRight keeps ticking until the Feds are called in. And the audience fragments and tries to flock to whatever is next.
The industry basically wants something like radio where they have more control over the content. They can try to start their own thing but it’ll just flop cause they won’t have the audience. So they stay mad cause they gotta deal with all these sites with the audience they’re after.
On the real, Hulu’s the closest I’ve seen to media companies understanding the Internet. But of course, it’s only in the US so they stay losing.

The machine of creating content need to move with the technology and not against it. Hip-hop music is a 21st century musical discipline, which is constantly on the cusp of technology. We are witnessing the fall of what we used to remember of the music industry. Eventually only a hand full of artist will be on majors, while the rest will be independent. It work make fiscal sense to do it any other way.

^ You don’t seriously think record labels, which existed for decades before nah right, would “have trouble existing without” it, do you? even if you were referring to blogs in general, i disagree. before blogs, people were on discussion boards spreading the word about music (and promo types came through to spam)
