Music Should Be Heard But Not Understood

Posted by samzenpus on from the dirty-dean-and-the-dunder-cheese dept.

PaxTech writes "Warner/Chapell music has cease-and-desisted a small freeware developer who wrote a Mac OS X lyrics downoading application. pearLyrics in no way contributed to piracy or copyright infringement, it was merely a tool to search for lyrics on public websites and view or add them to mp3 metadata. This is part of a larger crackdown on websites distributing lyrics. Apparently, the labels would like to force us back to a world where Hendrix kisses guys."

    They're not making a "bold" stance against war. They're spouting bullshit that they (read "Reprise Records") hope will sell more CDs. Green Day is the last band I wanna hear trying to give me their opinion on something I'm sure they know little or nothing about. Green Day sucks, there, I said it. They had no artistic credibility 10 years ago, and they're sure as hell don't now. Only 14 year old girls consider them to be "punk rock", which they never were in the first place.

    Listen to hardcore.
