Forteller added two links to a page which only connection to the issue discussed is the fact they sell T-shirts with the mentioned logos. Is that kosher here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.255.112.30 (talk • contribs) 05:39, 13 May 2006.

No. removed. And the DRM image is not relevant to this page either. Graham 06:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
The DRM logo is relevent, it provides a example of a parodied logo, seeing as the Pirate Bay just incorporates the original. I have added it back into the article. Fosnez 13:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
The problem is that the article provides no context for it. Who made the logo; what organisation does it represent? For all I know you might have made it up yourself, so unless it has some genuine currency, it may not be notable. Not only that, but this article isn't about DRM, it's about a specific campaign by the BPI in the 80s, long before DRM was even a remote possibility. Despite the graphical similarity, it's unclear from the article what it has to do with anything - and to extend the article to make this point would take it away from its original purpose. That's why it's not relevant. That's not to say the image shouldn't go anywhere - just not here. Graham 14:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
An acceptable argument - I have removed the image Fosnez 01:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


The logo is legitimate, and is an offspring of the RIAA. I remember seeing the logo and an RIAA rant on the sleeves of some records in the 70's. Teamgoon 23:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Was it actually illegal to make a tape of a record strictly for your own personal use? AnonMoos 19:03, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I realise that most sentient people think the logo was a bad idea, but that doesn't mean Wikipedia gets to stick the boot in. The article needs to be cleaned up quite a lot to at least pretend to give it a fair hearing. Currently all we have is mockery at length. --88.111.41.106 16:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I object to the NPOV tag on two points. First of all, as far as I can see, there is no actual discussion of an NPOV dispute in progress. As such, the {{POV}} template isn't appropriate, and the {{POV-check}} template should have been used instead. Second, I also do not believe there is any POV problem with this page. NPOV doesn't neccessarilly mean all points of view need to be given equal time. To start with, the page is about Home Taping is Killing Music as a slogan, not a discussion on the ethics of home taping and other types of piracy in general. There is simply not much more that can be said from the anti-piracy point of view on this particular topic. You have to be able to create articles about industrial accidents, diseases, and other generally unpleasant phenomena, without having to dedicate equal article time to the positive effects of Cholera, for example. As such, I'm removing the NPOV tag from the page. If anybody disagrees with this, and wants to enter into a discussion, go ahead and put it back in. After all, if somebody responds to this, where will actually *be* a dispute in progress, and then the tag would have merit. :-) Pv2b 06:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
