Danger Mouse Releases Blank CD-R To Spite EMI
An anonymous reader writes "DJ Danger Mouse famously fought with EMI over his Beatles/Jay-Z mashup, 'The Grey Album,' and now seems to be battling with the label again. Rather than release his latest album and face legal issues with EMI, Techdirt is reporting that Danger Mouse will be selling a blank CD-R along with lots of artwork, and buyers will be responsible for finding the music themselves (yes, it's findable on the internet) and burning the CD."
But doesn't this seem like the height of laziness?
The musings of just another geek and his junk.
Crumbs DM!
It had to be said.
If I have seen further it is by stealing the Intellectual Property of giants.
One to burn, one to keep on a shelf to then sell to some eccentric collector in 50 years. Retirement, here I come!

You are welcome on my lawn.
Many Slashdotters clearly know as much about music as they do about the opposite sex.
But I suppose that for you, everybody is the "opposite" sex.

Don't do it! It's a virus that will delete the ZONE ZERO (the center of your computer hard disk) and turn your home computer INTO A BOMB!!

Name one time government did any good.
Let's see now . . . the aqueducts?
I had no idea what the music sounded like, so I obtained the album for sampling purposes.
I'm not quite sure how that can sound like anything remotely close to "techno handbag disco". I hear no techno, no disco, and even worse, no handbag.
LTTFA?
When you're as old, grumpy and intransigent as me, I assure you, if it ain't Voivod, Megadeth or Slayer, it's techno handbag disco music by definition.
FWIW, I'm still coding in C using vi. No new-fangled IDEs or emacs here!!! And don't get me started on debuggers...

We can't - you shipped with symbols stripped.

It is not a blank CD, it is a blank CD-R. VERY different.

I had to make it fit on that 360k floppy somehow.

He is trying to pull NIN and Radiohead Internet buzz. However, this isn't going to work.
You're dumb. The controversy over the Grey Album meant that thousands heard of it who had never heard of him (including me.)
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Just as bad: no wife, no horse, no mustache.
I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
It's a 100+ page BOOK of David Lynch photography.
Great. A hundred pages of dead cats and deformed babies.
Or is it a CD-Argggh! I'll go ahead and hit myself for that one.
