Down with Big Media!
Ok. I'm obviously biased on this one. I've picked my sides and I am squarely against big media and therefore with the unions when it comes to the current strikes. To me this is very much about the future of information.
How we define communications and media today will have a frightening impact on the future. And by future I mean tomorrow, next week, 5 years from now, 50 years from now.
Another link from United Hollywood
Bill Moyers on the movement taken by big media to gain unprecedented control over communications and information. To me this is a step backward similar in size to taking back the printing press. This is the opposite of progress and the doom of America if it is allowed to come to pass.
After a few sconds of digging, I'm pretty sure that Kevin Miller is the anti-christ.

Can I just say that media companies SUCK!?!
I support the writer's strike.
Not just because I think that writers deserve more money. Writing is a pretty crappy job and much of the greatest works in history have been written while the author was starving to death or locked in some prison or some such nightmare. Torturing writers actually seems to make for better art, so I can live with that.
No, I support the strike because media companies just plain suck. They are awful, terrible groups filled with horrible human beings who should be recycled into some more useful material like seat cushions for football bleachers or flyswatters. Media executives should be cut into tiny pieces and their offspring shunned by society for generations.
I do not think I am exaggerating here. They are worse than #@% Yankee fans!
They refuse to discuss residuals for so-called "new media". In other words, yes we make money off of advertisements that we force people who watch our programming over the internet, but you can't have any because the whole internet is just so new and strange that we don't understand how it all works! It's like a bunch of tubes or something right? Heck, it might just be some fad and in a couple of years people will go back to the good ol fashioned wireless like my granpappy *those were the days*.
So their excuse for not discussing this is that they don't understand how to make money off of it. Meanwhile they continue to track down anyone who shares media and threaten to take away their milkmoney or medicare or whatever hardened criminals have these days. So they don't "understand" the internet, can't think of how to make money using it, and abhore people using it to use it for free entertainment.
Can someone just put these guys out of their misery? I mean they must have a horrible life scared of all these modern contrivances like airplanes, electric lights, and the wheel.
I support the strike because I hope that some television starved fans will go all zombie on the networks and snack on their lower intestines. I support it just because I don't like waking up in a world with people so dense that they are threatening to pull down the moon by their own personal gravitational pull. You should support it too. cause if you don't the zombies will get you too.

Any song, Any time
Caught this from Appscout.
This is a pretty smooth easy to use interface. Google for music.
