Kanye West Is Reportedly Considering Legal Action Against the Pirate Bay
An anonymous reader writes: Kanye West apparently has a new mission: to sue The Pirate Bay. Last weekend, West announced that his new album, The Life of Pablo, would be sold exclusively as a download from his website and the artist-driven streaming music service Tidal. The news sent Tidal to No. 1 on the U.S. Apple App Store, so West pulled the album from his site and announced it wouldn't be released on other streaming services. The Internet responded by pirating his album in droves.
And his music is terrible.
Yep, TBP should sue Kanye for slander/deformation on behalf of their users for insinuating that they listen to his crap (like all rap, I cant call it music).
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
Yo Kanye, I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but TPB has one of the best torrent sites of all time!
BeauHD. Worst editor since kdawson.
Speak for yourself. I would like to know when he's considering to make music.
That's what they say when we share torrents
And you should have paid
They don't understand
And so we download just as much as we can
Getting songs sung by our favorite band
Trying to not to pay for copyrights
And then you type into the search box and we look for the new sounds
And then you say "I think I'm a pirate, here's a tune that was released early today."
"I think I'm a pirate, I hope I don't get caught by the RIAA."
With apologies to Tommy James and The Shondells, Tiffany, Girls Aloud, and all of you...
Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
That's basically the reason. If it was for the music, it would be filed under "your rights online" like any torture story.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Flash that buttery gold, jittery zeitgeist
Wither by the watering hole, water patrol
What are we, a heart huckabee, art fuckery suddenly?
Not enough young in his lung for the water wings?
Colorfully vulgar poacher at a mulch like
'I'ma pull the pulse out a soldier and bolt.' (Fine)
Sign of the time we elapsed
When a primate climb up the spine and attach
Eye for an eye, by the bog's life swamps and vines
They get a rise out of frogs and flies
So when a dog fights hog-tied prize sorta costs a life
The mouths water on a fork and knife
And the allure isn't right
It's gore on a war-torn beach
Where the cash cows actually beef
Blood turns wine when I leak for police
Like 'That's not a riot, it's a feast, let's eat.'
I looked up some of Aesop Rock's lyrics because I was hoping you're right. This isn't quite word salad, but it's close.
If video games influenced behavior the Pac Man generation would be eating pills and running away from their problems.
I'm too afraid that I might get a copy that has a virus that would force my computer to put his music on endless loop.
That and I have more important things to do with that space on my drives... like keep the free space at a high percentage.
