Good point, we should listen to children who can't vote and will never finish high school.

seriously did you even read the date of the article

mc hammer now owns a tv production company (which produced his reality show and a shit load of stuff)

does 2-3 million dollars a year in personal appearances

and owns a record company which promotes dozens of rappers, singers and bands.

porno jew · 01-14-2012, 11:06 AM

he is against it because his new venture is a search engine. hardly an unbiased participant.

when you the dalai lama involved let me know.

That doesn't change fact how he bankrupted.

and you think any of the pro sopa people are unbiased

http://searchenginewatch.com/article...Engine-WireDoo

it just one of his ventures

he actually on both sides of the equation

his record company suffers from piracy, his search engine benefits from an open web.

you can bet his copyright side is worth way more money to him right now yet he still came down against sopa.( especially since wiredoo is still in pre-beta draining money stage)

Quote:

the evolution from musician to tech entrepreneur was a natural move for Hammer; ?They go hand in hand,? he said. ?When I saw the social tools as they began to emerge - whether it be around video... whether it be about community, ie.: way back to the days of Myspace and then on into Facebook and others - as I saw that, I saw a real opportunity to engage and connect and remove the velvet rope between the musician and his fans, who are really friends and like extended family.?

he is probably the best example of an unbiased source of info, because he is on both sides of the equation.

He would want copyright protection for his record company/tv company, but at the same time want to make sure the law doesn't go so far that it would kill his search engine.

The fact that he comes out against sopa means it unbalanced.

unlike google (pro internet) or RIAA (pro copyright) who are by definition one sided, mc hammer is actually a balanced view point because he benefits from BOTH sides of the equation.

many very wealthy people declared bankruptcy in the past

Quote:

Henry Ford, 1863-1947, automobile manufacturer, first two automobile manufacturing companies failed. The first company filed for bankruptcy and the second ended because of a disagreement with his business partner. In June 1903, at the age of 40, he created a third company, the Ford Motor Company with a cash investment of $28,000.00. By July of 1903 the bank balance had dwindled to $223.65, but then Ford sold its first car, and as they say the rest is history.

Quote:

Henry John Heinz, 1844-1919, condiment manufacturer, started his company in 1869 selling horseradish, pickles, sauerkraut and vinegar. In 1875 the company filed for bankruptcy due to an unexpected bumper harvest which the company could not keep up with and could not meet its payroll obligations. He immediately started a new company and introduced a new condiment, tomato ketchup to the market. This company was, and continues to be, very prosperous.

Quote:

Donald Trump, 1946-, businessman, filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case for his casino empire in 2004 to reorganize his business after negotiations with his creditors failed. This was the second bankruptcy case for his casino business, in 1992 he had filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his casino business.

Lots of people go bankrupt and still are successful, later on. I'm sure you are aware of that.

Now, I'd be satisfied if he'd stop doing diss records (like the Jay-Z song).

so you made the arguement we shouldn't listen to him because he was going bankrupt

when he actually rich enough to buy and sell you over 100 x easy.

what your point now that you have been proven to be a lying scumbag

that we should listen to him because he built himself up from zero (bankrupt) to 100x greater then you.

EukerVoorn · 01-15-2012, 02:57 PM

And what you're all forgetting is that MC Hammer owes his own succes to piracy. He used that Superfreak song from Rick James for "can't touch this". Did he ever write and create his own music or was sampling all he could do?

if it was fair use then how did rick james sue hammer and win eventually getting a co-composer title and receive royalties from the song?

he didn't win it was settled out of court

The suit was settled out of court when Hammer agreed to credit James as co-composer

and if you know anything about the song

Stanley Burrell (MC HAMMER) wrote the lyrics

Alonzo Miller wrote the melody (music)

so that settlement was basically MC hammer keeping 100% of his royalties and Alonzo Miller Splitting his.

If you were MC hammer and you got to avoid all the legal expense of a trial you were entitled to win, and it cost you nothing to do it (and avoid all the bad press of "ripping off" a legend)

how stupid would you have to be to not settle.

"fair use sampling" lol. tell it to the judge. why so clueless about matters you are supposedly consulting people on? you are just going to get people sued with your shitty advice.

people settle because they know they will lose 95% of the time but keep on spinning.

bullshit if that were true the "pay up or else " scheme that AC LAW ran would never gotten off the ground.

thousands of people (including the estate of a dead person, and a blind person) paid up because it was cheaper to settle then to fight.

Two live crew suffered 2 years of bad press, even though the supreme court ultimately ruled in their favour.
