Bigmouths Strike Again: An Inconvenient Analogy Edition

Uncomfortably stretched comparison of the day:

If you don’t care what happens to music, keep downloading. Look at music and look at the polar caps they’re melting at the same rate.

Something to think about next time you open Azureus. Guess the eco-friendly anti-pirate, then take the jump.

Check the spelling of "convenient" in your post title. I only point out this mistake so that your site doesn't devolve to the spot where Rolling Stone currently is, reviewing the new album by "FIEST."

i'm pretty sure no one's even downloading his music so what's he so upset about?

When was the last time Perry made music that was even worth downloading, let alone paying for?

And I don't think downloading an album like the first Jane's, that I bought twice already, would really count.

Plus, isn't downloading more eco-friendly than all of the waste product it takes to manufacture CDs and their concomitant packaging? Go back on the drugs, Perry.

So was that stupid analogy supposed to convince us that downloading music was good or bad? Pointing a finger at the audience was a nice touch, btw. Makes him look much more stern. I wonder if it was wagging at some point?

Wow. The little respect I had for him is gone...

I remember once reading an interview in which he explained that he "looks like a rock star." He looks like a urologist.

Yawn. Just because of his little dumbshit comment I'm going to go download all the Janes, P4P and shitty solo Perry mp3s.

I don't care about the icecaps... what can I download to accelerate their melting?
