I got a little creative today and ended up writing this. It is best sung to the tune of Savage Garden\u2019s Affirmation<\/a><\/cite>, but I’m not talented enough to record it myself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I believe the R-I-A-A should settle all arguments.
\r\nI believe we\u2019ve placed our fair-use-rights in other people\u2019s hands.
\r\nI believe that DRM\u2019s no good because it\u2019s bad for you.
\r\nI believe fighting for freedom is something we have to do.
\r\nI believe the music industry promotes low quality.
\r\nI believe that we must have the right to use the things we own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I believe in Karma; what you give is what you get returned.
\r\nI believe in a fair world where our freedom does not get burned.
\r\nI believe the grass is much more greener on the other side.
\r\nI believe we can\u2019t give up our fight until we save our pride.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I believe you can\u2019t control our freedom in reality.
\r\nI believe that trust is more important than no piracy.
\r\nI believe supporting creativity should be our goal.
\r\nI believe that customers are worth more than money or gold.
\r\nI believe the struggle for digital freedom is unfair.
\r\nI believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I believe in Karma; what you give is what you get returned.
\r\nI believe in a fair world where our freedom does not get burned.
\r\nI believe the grass is much more greener on the other side.
\r\nI believe we can\u2019t give up our fight until we save our pride.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I believe 09-F9\u2019s the key to our own happiness.
\r\nI believe that a fair price negates the need for DRMs.
\r\nI believe that we must stop DMCA extortionists.
\r\nI believe in copyright not lasting for eternity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I believe in Karma; what you give is what you get returned.
\r\nI believe in a fair world where our freedom does not get burned.
\r\nI believe the grass is much more greener on the other side.
\r\nI believe we can\u2019t give up our fight until we save our pride. (repeat \u00d72)<\/p>\r\n\r\n

(It would be cool if someone was talented enough to record that.<\/em>)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
