TMI

Like the title says TMI, too much information. Most of what use to be on the net has been taken away. Finding web sites that gave consumers the edge. Many now have posted, "page removed for your safety".
What? Did we miss the memo on how many more ways the government can remove free information? Was there a class we forgot to show up at?

A few years ago there were these friendly hackers. They were sorta like Robin Hoods of the Internet. They would place free songs, free movies, free codes so certain software and everything worked. If you were with the millions of these lucky souls. You may have snagged up a few items, all for free.

Then, Uncle Sam got mad. To be honest entertainers got mad first, then their producers, then the men and women who put the monies up so they could record or make a movie. And finally Microsoft. yes I let the cat out of the bag.

Microsoft was split into 2 companies. This of course took place 14 years ago now. And how has that helped any small company to compete? The move really capitalized on the industry in a way the Feds most likely new it would.
Then video game prices began to take a leap into the, "where will it end pricing." Now, most are sitting at a whopping Sixty to eighty bucks. Add all those users fees for rentals of music, movies and videos whoa we have trillions maybe gazillions in profits not recorded openly.

What happened to those Robin Hoods of giving the public free stuff? The government has been slowly tracing and finally arresting them.  Just like the elderly guy who was feeding the homeless.

Too bad people who own corporations are so greedy they target us like rats at a cheese conference.  To all the Robin Hoods still out there, we want to solute you. Not because we believe in stealing but because free is good and always has been.

There was a time when a person who made clothes might have exchanged their goods for the person who raised chickens. Or the man who could repair a roof would get a loaf of bread and perhaps some wine.
All though TMI, too much information is closely monitored now by Uncle Sam. We the people are still here on the ground and in good ole fashion ready to trade. TMI.
