Sony - Second Batch.nfo The second batch of Sony samples are those in the list below. All will be posted. The samples are .Wav files only and all of them should be acidized wavs. I hope you enjoy them. I know I kinda threw a rant in my last nfo. I make no appologies for it. You all deserved a swift kick in the ass for allowing the newsgroup to become idle. A better system for data sharing has never been conceived and you all were all waiting for someone else to come along and jumpstart it for you. You are lucky I am willing to do that for you, but this is probably the last time I will do so. Somebody else is going to have to do it next time, but my worry is there may not be a next time. I am concerned that some of the powers that be may try to do away with the usenet entirely. Why would they want to do this? It's extremely obvious .... In case you haven't noticed ... THE USENET CANNOT BE CENSORED There are other methods of communicating available to us but all of them can be censored, except for the usenet. This is the last bastion of truly free speech that spans the globe. I sincerely doubt that those with power in this world will tolerate it's existence for too much longer. I have already seen a number of posts (not usenet posts - but in web forums) that were asking questions like: - is the usenet dead - is the usenet useful to anyone any longer - are the newsgroups anything more than a bunch of spam I am paraphrasing, I don't recall the exact wording of the questions. Suffice it to say that these questions are attempting to lay the groundwork for portraying the usenet as something that has seen it's day come and go. No matter what the truth is there will be an effort made to do away with the usenet as a whole. I am telling you now so that if/when it begins you will be prepared to make your voice heard speaking in defense of the usenet as a whole. If you do not do so, then you can kiss the newsgroups goodbye along with the last bastion of truly free speech remaining to us in this world. I used to think that the people wouldn't speak up because if they did so they would lose their jobs. But with the lockdown a huge percentage of people have already lost their jobs, so one has to wonder why there isn't a more vocal resistence to the way the world is being ruined right now. Ask yourself, do you want to live in a world where everybody is wearing a mask? Where no large gatherings can take place? Where the government has the power to confine you in your own home? Where you can't travel without having proof that you have been vaccinated? Do you intend to give away all of your liberty, privacy and human rights over a disease that is as lethal as the average seasonal flu? Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." What we are faced with today is EXACTLY what he was talking about. Ask yourself, is the world changing for the better? If we do not oppose the current trend is it likely to stop any time soon? If we allow the changes to progress as far as they will, is that world likely to be a place we will want to live? IMHO, the changes that we can see already are more than i am willing to tolerate. Fuck this bullshit. I won't have it. What can we do, you may be wondering. We can do anything we want. If you want the lockdown to end, simply start living your life as if it was already over. Take the mask off. Refuse to put it back on. Open your restaurant, deli, whatever. Go outside and play in the park. There is literally nothing to fear except fear itself. The one thing you should not be doing is whatever you're being told to do. All the power is with the people. All you have to do is decide for yourself what your life should be like and start living it that way. If you let other people do the deciding for you they will choose a life for you that benefits them, not you.
