1. Not bad (c)rap. Now try a God rap – “Ladies (yeah?), ladies (yeah?) do you wanna save people from Hades?”

2. Yeah, all those rip-copies of Tetris really killed the whole video game industry.

   Remember that little “home taping is killing music” graphic they used to stick on casettes? That industry’s sure having a rough time transporting their cash to the bank in fleets of Hummers, ain’t they?

   I am resolved not to buy any music I can download. Viva Limewire and death to the RIAA and MPAA.

3. Indeed, what do we care for the foreign devils?

   We tend to forget, up in Canada, that we already pay a levy whether or not we’re downloading things, and that the money goes into a fund from which the artists are supposed to get paid; this fund is maintained by Jack Valenti’s old group, whatstheirnames, essentially the music industry. If the artists are not being paid, it is because the American association who has the responsibility of passing this money along is keeping it for itself. That would be where to lodge the complaint, because they’ve received billions of dollars earmarked for musicians.

4. Baby Got Bible eh? It’s not quite Reverend Aleicia, is it?

5. The tax on blank media in this country is a disgrace. But having paid it on sevral occasions to the tune of some fifty or sixty dollars’ worth (upon purchase of CDs to store my home-made data and content only), I don’t see how they can begrudge me downloading an album or two.

   It seems to me that it’s like a pre-paid license to pirate. Arrrrr!

   But if you keep all your music on non-DRM digital devices, you need never pay any fees or levies nowadays.

6. It isn’t piracy: you have already paid for it. You surely don’t believe that you’re ripping off the taxpayer when you go to the hospital: you’ve already paid for that, too.

   It’s the monolithic music corporations that are the villains here.
