Hi everyone. Yes that's right, you don't need to check your glasses of if you're fully woken up. Vietnow's media server is back, thanks to Thomascirca !!

This server was designed for people that want to share their material, and for those that want to acquire new material. Many of you have shared a lot of great media to the community, and in return, we are sharing right back. Our mission is to assemble the greatest Rage file server on the internet, so that everyone can tap into the wealth and contribute in some way or another. We are offering our services to those that are tired of using megaupload, mediafire, and rapidshare and are tired of having their files pulled or deleted. Well, no more! Our server will be an excellent alternative to such methods of downloading and uploading.

That being said, there are some rules that we expect you to follow. First of all, we want everyone to abide by a simple, common, self explanatory rule, which is:

 DO NOT UPLOAD ANYTHING ILLEGAL, COPYRIGHTED, OFFICIAL, OR ANYTHING THAT COULD LAND US IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW!

The server is legal as it is because it does not host any copyrighted material. Live shows are not copyrighted, so we are allowed to host them. We are not allowed to host anything that Rage has officially released on CD or DVD (ex, Evil Empire, Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, etc). There are plenty of other places to acquire that stuff; don't post it here.

Failure to comply with that rule will first result in a severe talking to. The second time the rule is violated you will be permanently BANNED from the server (Yes, we are that mean). It is very easy to see who uploads what, so do not think that you can upload something illegal and get away with it.

Thank you, and enjoy !

Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and The Nightwatchman fame will bring his celebrated “Justice Tour” to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle in late March. The shows will carry a low ticket price of $15 for each show, and feature a variety of special guests including Slash, System of a Down’s Serj Tankian, Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, Steve Earle, Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Ben Shepherd, Mudhoney’s Mark Arm, The Coup’s Boots Riley,  The MC5’s Wayne Kramer, Shooter Jennings and more. These musicians will perform individual sets, as well as contribute to unique, once-in-a-lifetime collaborations with the other performers.

As more and more Americans are being pushed into poverty and homelessness by the unscrupulous behavior of CEOs, the Justice Tour hopes to be a part of a bailout for people, not banks. One hundred percent of the Justice Tour profits will benefit homeless advocacy and service groups, and the tour’s artists will also partake in hands-on volunteer work with these organizations. Community partners for the shows are New Horizons in Seattle, Project Open Hand in San Francisco, and PATH in Los Angeles.

“The model of the Justice Tour is simple,” said Morello. “Feed the Poor. Fight the Power. Rock the Fuck Out. I’m very excited to be doing this and jamming with my good friends on the various stops on the tour. I’m equally excited that these artists will be rolling up their sleeves to help alleviate hunger and homelessness in these hard times.” Morello also noted, “It is very important to me to keep ticket prices super cheap so that everyone can enjoy these very special concerts.”

In what appears to be a major coup for the activists organizing the anti-Arpaio action the weekend of February 28, the National Day Laborer Organizing Network has announced through a press release that firebrand frontman Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine fame is encouraging people to join the march and rage against Sheriff Joe Arpaio's treatment of the undocumented.

De la Rocha, known for his incendiary lyrics, his support of imprisoned radicals such as Mumia Abu-Jamal and Leonard Peltier, and his advocacy for Mexico's Zapatista rebels, will also apparently be in town for the march, according to the release and various sources inside the pro-immigrant activist community.

"Recently the nation witnessed the ritual humiliation of migrants in a spectacle evocative of some of the most horrific episodes of human history," explains Pablo Alvarado, Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "People across the country are outraged at the shameful violations of human rights perpetrated by the Maricopa County Sheriffs and they are being moved to action."

In the last month Sheriff Joe Arpaio intensified his on-going escalation of attacks against Latinos by segregating the county jail and parading undocumented migrants shackled in a chain-gang into "tent city." He erected and surrounded the tent with an electric fence in a grotesque display of human degradation.

Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine responded to the news by saying, "To witness what is happening in Arizona and remain neutral is to be implicated in human rights violations that are occurring right here on US soil against migrants. History will not be kind to Joe Arpaio. He will be remembered with other infamous sheriffs like Bull Connor who subjugated and terrorized communities for shortsighted political gain. I hope everyone will join me in protesting Sheriff Joe."
