This is not very nice to read, though I´ve heard about it earlier, from Trent Reznors tweets I think it was or it may have been on the NIN page. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/22/politics/main5409256.shtml
This very day it was on the Swedish news, saying there are artists like Britney Spears, Eminem and David Gray also had their music used at Gitmo. Swedish artists want to take action, at least indicate it´s wrong by charging STIM-money, (SwedishComposersInternationalMusicagency), meaning they want to get payed when their music is of official use, thus attract attention to the question an show that they are aware.

Wow... that's great (note the sarcasm). Are we (Americans) just trying to make everyone hate us more (by blaring our music)? That doesn't seem to be a good tactic for keeping any sort of peace.
ReplyDeleteAny sensible person knows that not every American stand behind that. I agree with you there, it´s not a very good activity towards peace, but then most forms of imprisonments aren´t.
ReplyDeleteSuprises me you didn´t know about it, or did you?! If that´s the case it´s even more scary, a government having at policy the citizens are unaware of.
