Bon Jovi Tries New Approach To Fight Piracy
Dudio writes "80s-era rock band Bon Jovi is taking a novel approach to fighting piracy of their upcoming album, Bounce. Retail CDs will be distributed with a unique serial number with which the purchaser can register in order to receive such exclusives as prioritized concert ticket purchases and unreleased music. Finally, somebody in the entertainment industry is attempting to adapt to the changing market rather than rushing to protect an outdated business model." All Bon Jovi jokes aside, it is nice to see a fresh approach.
It must be piracy because everyone wants to buy new records from a rock band that is 15 years out of date.
Or will they go down in a blaze of glory?
Never heard of him.

What Bon Jovi jokes?
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog: Bon Jovi you are filming a new vampire movie, yes?
Bon Jovi: Yes I am...
Triumph: At last a role that requires you to suck...
"It takes many nails to build a crib, but one screw to fill it."
But...I already feel like NOT pirating Bon Jovi music.

The first one tells her friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into room, everyone calls him 'Father.'"
The second Catholic woman chirps, "Well, my son is a bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic woman says smugly, "Well, not to put you down, but MY son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle Well . . . ?
Mrs. B. replies, "My son is Jon Bon Jovi. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, "Oh my God. .
Hmmm... this needs a '-1 Groaner' moderation option. Too bad. =)
Really, what type of music from Bon Jovi is unrealeased? I mean...really.
I'd be all excited about an unreleased single from Pink Floyd...but, Bon Jovi?
What, are they going to remix "Living on a Prayer"?
And now, the previously unreleased version of "Living on a Prayer", with Busta Rhymes singing backup.
Please.

I need the keygen for Bon Jovi 1.0. Reply "me too" if you n33d it too. Many thanks to the CR3W!
I bought this CD for-
[ ] the music
[ ] the principle
Just remember, even if you do buy the Bon Jovi CD on principle, your friends will still lose respect for you.
"I bought it for the principle!" just doesn't sound right.
In other news, Kenny G announced his new piracy-defeating measures by releasing another CD. His plans entail marketing only to the over-80 market, who still call computers televisions. In a recent interview, he seemed very excited to demonstrate that piracy only affects good musicians. When asked about Bon Jovi, Kenny G said they were planning a duet in which would be titled, "Kenny G and Bon Jovi: A tribute to the corpses who used to listen to us" and marketed under the pretense of expected zero piracy.

A much more effective anti-piracy feature built in to Bon Jovi's brand new album is that it is such a crap that no one will want to listen to it let alone copy it or download it. It keeps piracy at practically zero level.

With the first sample, I had to cover my ears, and now I've got my David Bellugi early rennaisance CD on to clear out my eardrums. I'm truly sorry, but someone that actually likes this stuff will have to take up the slack.
they're halfway there...
