Anal retentive much, are they!? I just can't seem to understand why a multinational corporation such as master card would even bother an issue like this. It seems that it would be higher waste of expenses in contact than would be a threat had they let the topic be. Not to mention to other countless parodies available. But more importantly, this just urges one question be asked.....









Where are you finding these $100 Box sets?

FIGHT THE POWER!


Seriously tho, that sucks. Better get it taken down before you get sued and have your life savings taken away.

Everybody knows that sound that is digitally put through a speaker for your listening pleasure is really worth 750-15,000 dollars per song if you have it on your computer.

I mean, of COURSE you deserve to have your cash funds fucked in the ear by the RIAA. They just aren't making enough money for the repeated garbage that is filling the airwaves!

Kudos to you, hard working musicians of the world, who oh so flawlessly produce the exact same song and expect the public to pay to listen to it!

But seriously, I don't use file sharing.

Oh, wait. Wrong topic.

Damnit, I suck.
