so if someone from Greenland were to download this song, that would stop them from donating to an Italian charity? OH SHIT. I had no idea the world was so intricate.

I’m living in poverty, I normally don’t contribute to charity, though recently I gave my spare change to help retarded people.

I’m going to download this song and I have nothing to give right now

People claiming that downloading the charity song is similar to taking 10% of the proceeds from a fund-raiser is the same are clearly not thinking this through.

Sure, if i downloaded the song i would not be giving the earthquake cause any of my money – but i sure as shit am not taking any money away!

The SGAE didn’t write any music. They didn’t organize any events.

All they did is tell the artists/producers that they would try to limit the amount of copyright fraud – any now they want money for doing it?

Reminds me of when the Russian Mafia used to ask the company i work for for ‘protection money’. Protection from them of course.

I might download the song and have a listen – and i don’t think i will be donating any money to the cause

(everyone in L’Aquila knows they are on prime earthquake territory, and those who didn’t pay for home insurance now want money?

Everyone in Italy puts there home insurance money into a pot. Those who have there old stone homes knocked down get a new one built courtesy of everyone who also has home insurance. It isn’t charity is society.

Furthermore, Italy is a wealthy country!! The government have more than enough cash to fix this mess – and they will!

Humanitarian aid like people on the ground helping to clear rubble is one thing – these guys really make a difference.

But cash? Pssh, please. That isn’t what’s needed at all.)

Have i stolen anything? Have i even been than much of a bastard to listen to a song which is all over the radio and TV in Italy? Do i intend to use the song to make money or gain status?

No, no, and no.

The ‘pirates’ are the only good people left.
