Eminem’s lawyers have taken National back to court for their use of his music in their rowing advert in the 2014 election.
Oh the irony…
“It is both disappointing and sadly ironic that the political party responsible for championing the rights of music publishers in New Zealand by the introduction of the three strikes copyright reforms should itself have so little regard for copyright,”
…so this Government will pass 3 strike laws for Corporate Hollywood and illegally spy on and arrest Kim Dotcom for copyright but are more than happy to steal music when it suits their interests.
Hilarious.
The song needs new lyrics…
“Loser Yourself”
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize all the political power you ever wanted. One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo
The farms are petty, foreign ownership steady,
There’s votes to be had, Cameron Slater’s ready
I’m nervous, but on the surface polls look calm and pretty, Max and me selfie
But I keeps on forgetting what GCSB wrote down,
The whole Press Gallery goes so loud
I open my mouth, but Hager’s words come out
I’m choking how, everybody’s poking luck
The elections run out, time’s up, over, fuck!
Snap back to Press Gallery, Oh there goes Paddy
Oh, there goes Judith, she choked
I’m so mad, but I won’t give up that
Easy, no
I won’t have it, I know what’ll get me off the ropes
I know most NZers are stupid dopes
they didn’t blink over drone predator
they’ll let me kill the messenger
When Glenwald goes back to his mobile home, that’s when it’s
Back to the jib jab again, yo
This whole mass surveillance rap sheet
I’m gonna go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass me
[Hook:]
You’re a loser yourself in the spying, the moment
of truth, you better let it go
You only got one shot, you missed your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You’re a loser yourself in the spying, the moment
of truth, I’m the PM with all my comments
but you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)
Seems the irony has been lost on the MSM outlets here.
That’s because it needs a bit of thinking power, and that is way too much work for most of the MSM here.
@ MARCUS – well I guess msm is compelled to keep everything sweet with its masters, the NatzKEY gang! Don’t want to upset FJK, Joyce & Co, having too much information such as focusing on the irony of this issue, out there in the public domain.
However anyone else, it would be screaming in-your-face headline news!
Hypocrites all, NatzKEY politicians, as well as msm!
How overwhelmingly ironic ====>>> ! # * & 6 ^ ? ! + @ # ? ! ^ ! & % # ? ! @
Nothing surprises us anymore with the low levels this govt. stoops to.
Again === >> Thanks Martyn.
Hope the chickens come home to roost soon for that ugly lot in massive denial and selfishness.
Kim, in the end, will come out on top and lets hope Eminem does as well.
The only concern we have now is that if Eminem ( and likely Kim ) wins, the settlement will likely be paid by taxpayers instead of our corporate PM and his wealthy greedy corporate buddies.
Word on the street ( no official confirmation on this ) says donky was likely ( ? ) worth around 40 + million when he came into office and may likely be worth around 150 + + + million now.
Go figure , all the ways ( legit and non – legit – ? ) , how he got all that wealth increase while being NZ’s PM.
His greed and elitism knows no boundaries and his lack of compassion is paramount.
The well being of ALL New Zealander’s is low on his priority list but helping grow his bottom line and allegiance to greedy multi – national criminal corporations are top priority ! ! !
Why should he not be paying out some of his wealth to help NZ instead of running away to Hawaii , with it all, when we finally get rid of his lying a ___.
Our country will be so much worse off after his crappy reign.
If the government had had any game at all they’d’ve protected Dotcom & NZ would’ve had a $400 million a year cyberlocker sector. Instead we got a 1% tarrif reduction in 2030 – if the promise is kept.
Gnats – uniformly of lower intelligence than their eponymous insects.
Top comment, Stuart.
Sounds good to me.
This National Government will steal any thing to suit its own agenda.
They are not shy on stealing opposition party policies either.
We should not be surprised at that, as they have never had a decent policies of their own to put to the voters, apart from selling our assets.
I would love to see the same FBI agents that raided the Dotcom Mansion, blast through the roof of the debating chamber, slide down ropes and arrest John Key, Stephen Joyce and Bill English for copyright theft.
They would escort them out past the Maori Party, ACT and Peter Dunne seats into a waiting van, then off to Christmas Island.
The flag on the sailing ship that takes them to Christmas island, would be a John Key flag.
And as they are sailing out, under the John Key Flag wondering whether Christmas Island will be part of the TPPA.
They will all agree that THIS SONG, should be their next National Party theme song, now that we are so closely aligned with the USA.

I’m sure Dennis won’t mind sharing, because NZ is now the 53rd State.
The Americans love their helicopters – but they always lose a bunch – from the Tehran hostage raid to Blackhawk Down & the Bin Ladin kill. The Mexican from No Country For Old Men would make the Gnats clean up their act in a couple of days and keep them straight too.
Brilliant.
