Rather than complain about Metallica's ruthless, fascist ideas about music distribution, I too think we should STRIKE BACK! Here's what i'm doing to protect my illegal music rights; I suggest the rest of you do the same.
1.) I'm writing a Napster-clone which (tee hee) Metallica knows NOTHING about! That way, I can share and distribute all the illegal material I want with absolutely no repurcussions! (this is so genius, I can't believe no one thought of this before)
2.) I'm not using Napster anymore, 'cause they buckle under the pressure of multimillion dollar corporations with lots of high-paid lawyers who can prove that the software basically provides for basically illegal activities far too easily.
3.) I'm writing a nice letter to Metallica (address: Metallica, c/o anybody. California, USA) politely asking them to not delete all the mp3's on my hard drive.
4.) I'm going to law school, like, tomorrow, so i can figure out exactly what this whole "intellectual property law" stuff is.
Fight the power! Damn the man! Make illegal things legal and stuff!
George Lucas made me buy seven copies of the original trilogy! What a total bastard! There I was, innocently wandering the aisles of my local video store, when in walks George Lucas, carrying a board with a nail sticking out of it! He... he... oh god, the pain... Jeezus, people. No one is making you buy every version of the Star Wars trilogy. I'm one of the uberdorks who saw Ep. 1 multiple times DESPITE the digital tomfoolery (read: Jar Jar, who reminds me of that whore in Full Metal Jacket, dont ask me why), and I have yet to buy it on VHS? Why? Because I can wait until it comes out on DVD (yeah, even if I'm 60 when it happens). Don't bitch at George Lucas because of your lack of self-restraint. Bitch at him because he desperately needs a screenwriter.
