A Perversion of Justice

I watched a show about Swiss banks a while ago that talked about how surviving relatives of Jewish depositors could not retrieve their inheritances after World War II because the banks insisted on documented evidence of their parents' death in the camps. Of course, the Nazis hid this documentation. It was called a perversion of justice because the laws that had been put in place to protect clients were now being used to, essentially, punish them. A perversion of justice. Yes, that phrase resonates with me very deeply. There is another system in place which is supposed to protect artists. It is the modern copyright protection system that lets one man face down an army of copyright violators single handed. There are punishment elements in this system which have been turned against me by people who steal my work. I already went through three years of it from 2007, when I erased my old Blogger and YouTube accounts, to 2010, when I thought I was going to be able to leave it behind me. But here I am in 2016 and I still have to suffer endless put-downs from so-called artists who don't write their own hits and confuse music with personal hygiene. What a perversion of justice. The radio needed to take my talent and spread it out to make more money. More stars, more money, right? Except that it's also fraud. Hey, police, isn't fraud against the law? You'd never know it in my world. In my world, it's against the law to stand in a soup line after a bunch of rich pricks have stolen your life-work and left you destitute. And what could the music stations be doing now but trying to force my suicide so that they can return my music to their greasy, untalented stars in the form of a twisted tribute? Imagine the profits.
