I've paid for the last.fm service – I don't want it going silence, else I want a refund.

Screw this political movement bull dung!

Does anyone REALLY think this day of silence will do anything?

If Americans want to fight the power, then FIGHT THE POWER! Get your guns and storm Washington and fight the injustices your government is causing you and the rest of the world.

It is George Bush and his Republican party that allowed these increases, that allows the RIAA and MPAA to ride rough trod all over individuals.

It is your right as Americans to take up arms against your oppressors, and if this isn't the right time then what the hell is?

But as long as you support your politicians and the current form of 'democracy' and 'capitalism', and protest with impotent gestures like a day of silence, nothing will change, so suck it down and SHUT THE FUCK UP!

These little protests will achieve nothing!

How is it fair that my enjoyment of Last.fm, a service I have paid for, is negatively impacted because of a political movement that ultimately will have no impact on LAST.fm anyway?

Last.FM's point is this – THEY'VE BEEN DOING THE RIGHT THING SINCE DAY ONE!

Instead of jumping into the online music game and saying "I'm not going to pay artists the money they deserve, I'm going to break laws to play the music I want" Last.fm actually thought and planned how to go about it as a business and supply us with a decent service whilst keeping the music publishers happy.

As individuals people have the right to not play Last.fm and support the day of silence, but as a company that people have paid money to, last.fm have an obligation to provide us with that service.

Support the day of protest by not playing Last.fm and not Scrobbling, but don't force your American ideals and issues on the wider world audience.
