Next they'll be suing us when we have a song stuck in our heads.

what a fuckass. if you want to kill the band 'Cold' then go right on ahead.
Any real rock and roll band (grateful dead, green day, radiohead, phish, captain beefheart and many more) would be saying "fuck it, tape all our shows, send them to your mates, download our stuff" et c
the only thing i don't get about this mp3 sharing shit is, where's the live stuff? if i download something i don't usually want it to just be the album i could just buy that in the shops! i thirst for some good live stuff that you can't get on the albums, ironically you still have to scour the record shops to get that...
edit: i mean real record shops, not chains, do you still get them in the states?

Dream on! :mad: Here, it's all chain outlets like "Block Buster" and "Where House", very few "real" record shops left anymore, and most of those are re-sellers.

Fine, I will abide by their wishes and not download their stuff. I'll even respect Hillary's wishes and not download any RIAA music.
Of course, I also won't be buying any of it either: not CDs, not from that Apple music site (as if I had to worry about that: I'm not using a Mac; I wouldn't do it anyway even if I was), or from any PC compatable clones.
I did, however, download all your music. :cool:
That's what I'm doing from now on: supporting the RIAA-free independents.

This would all be funny, very funny, if it weren't real. We sang La Bamba in spanish class in 7th grade. Today I bet you couldn't do that because of all the copyright police. Heck, they're even charging the girl scouts royalties for singing campfire songs (it was in the register a while back). And it could get even worse from here. Won't these people just fucking let up?!{`!?
