    I think this is the most brilliant piece of marketting yet. First they jam up P2P with blank mp3s to put people off using P2P and then they send those people a bill for accepting the blank mp3. $10 for a loop of nothing?

    Do they have a copyright on the blank loop? If not I think I should hurry up and copyright it :)

      It's only copyrighted if it's 4:14 in length. :)

    ...Jon Bon Jovi for the eyes and ears of P2P users. On top of that, it gives us a bad name.

    I hear you, dude. It's almost like Bon Jovi's been shot in the heart, and you're to blame.
