do your part to support one of the great artists and have your ass shaking at the same time.

btw, stop promoting this new anti-piracy bullshit (the one that includes missy). "i download", i believe is the name.
i'm writing about this because i just visited missy's site and you could hear tracks from the new album in advance (ooh.. you mean tracks i was gonna be able to hear when it came out? that's exclusive shit, yo). but -- they were scattered on various websites and you had clues that led you to those very lucky websites. and guess what -- they're mostly anti-piracy websites. lol
okay. i can respect missy doing this. it's her opinion and she's entitled to it. i'm not ragging on her. not at all.
but -- get your shit together. if you want people to buy your albums (i'm talking to you, riaa) -- why not focus on that? what you're doing is basically a war on the downloaders. your customers. customers, who, according to you, are not into buying anymore. so what you're doing right here is hitting them over the head while they're hanging onto the counter, still ready to give you some of that money you're so in need of these days (first off, cramming albums with filler has backfired on you; second, let the artists do their thing, we're gonna buy; third, if it's the artists you're so worried about, give them better contracts. period. you can let at least one trip to the virgin islands go this year, right? do your fuckin' job and stop being so greedy).
focus on what you want them to do - buy albums.
personally, if i were to download on a regular basis it would be to see if i liked an album enough to plunk down my hard-earned cash.
you've been propped up on easy money and now you're used to it, we understand; but you raped us up the ass on a regular basis for the past 20 years with inflated prices and filler crap. gives us some time. and don't believe the heyday of those profits is the norm. you were robbing us. blind.
stop fuckin' with your customers.
and i don't want to pay a dollar a song. i buy my albums. i don't want no lesser-quality (i won't even start on the highly superior sacd quality) song for a buck.
we taped and traded before.
okay, so maybe the internet is a bigger community, but you need to embrace it instead of trying to stifle it like you're john fuckin' ashcroft.
we're music-lovers.

i finally found a copy of bend it like beckham (widescreen edition).
1. why the fuck are they promoting this like it's a olsen twins-type film?
2. video stores who only stock up on full screen editions are idiots.
