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somebody in the entertainment industry is attempting to adapt to the changing market rather than rushing to protect an outdated business model."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.

    Greetings!

    You are receiving this letter because you have expressed an interest in receiving information about online business opportunities. If this is erroneous then please accept my most sincere apology. This is a one-time mailing, so no removal is necessary.

    If you've been burned, betrayed, and back-stabbed by multi-level marketing, MLM, then please read this letter. It could be the most important one that has ever landed in your Inbox.

    MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING IS A HUGE MISTAKE FOR MOST PEOPLE

    MLM has failed to deliver on its promises for the past 50 years. The pursuit of the "MLM Dream" has cost hundreds of thousands of people their friends, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The fact is that MLM is fatally flawed, meaning that it CANNOT work for most people.

    The companies and the few who earn the big money in MLM are NOT going to tell you the real story. FINALLY, there is someone who has the courage to cut through the hype and lies and tell the
    TRUTH about MLM.

    HERE'S GOOD NEWS

    There IS an alternative to MLM that WORKS, and works BIG! If you haven't yet abandoned your dreams, then you need to see this. Earning the kind of income you've dreamed about is easier than
    you think!

    With your permission, I'd like to send you a brief letter that will tell you WHY MLM doesn't work for most people and will then introduce you to something so new and refreshing that you'll wonder why you haven't heard of this before.

    I promise that there will be NO unwanted follow up, NO sales pitch, no one will call you, and your email address will only be used to send you the information. Period.

    To receive this free, life-changing information, simply email me
    at:

    be_f111@poetic.com or be_f111@dr.com, type "Send Info" in the Subject box and Send. Do not reply to this email. Make sure you type "Send Info" on the subject box otherwise I will not be able to send you the information. I'll get the information to you within 24 hours. Just look for the words MLM WALL OF SHAME in your Inbox.

    Cordially,

    Elaine

    P.S. Someone recently sent the letter to me and it has been the most eye-opening, financially beneficial information I have ever received. I honestly believe that you will feel the same way once you've read it. And it's FREE!

    Wow, you must have inhaled :)

    Inhaled, ingested, absorbed through the skin, suppositories, slow I.V. drip, whatever worked.
