Yet Lars feels the need to tell fans what is "morally and legally wrong"?
In your lawsuit you state "students of these universities and others who exhibit the moral fiber of common looters"
What right do YOU have to question MY moral fiber?
Do you have any idea how ludicrous you sound to your fans from the early days?
Now according to your answers in the chat you think there should be some kind of government monitoring of the internet because there might be something illegal going on there?
Maybe the goverment should be monitoring YOU backstage at one of your shows. You know, your a rock band, there MUST BE some kind of illegal activity going on there.
