We have just released my debut album as a FREE HQ Mp3 download.

It was a tough decision for us to make because of the vast amounts spent on the album. We had two of the biggest record producers in the world work on it…. at Peter Gabriel’s Realworld studio and at Abbey Road studio in london.

Despite all that, we recognise the massive potential the internet and free albums in particular offers. We launched last friday and have already had 1000’s of DL’s all over the world.

Come over and download for FREE.. it takes 2 minutes to DL because we have a dedicated server.

Of course it isn’t gender discrimination, sweetums. It’s that you’re morosely stupid, and are consequently too cought up in your own feeble shtick to tell the difference between the words “he” and “she”.

Speaking of your feeble schtick, one more reason that it fails is because it operates on the premise that freedom itself is NOT the antithesis of oppression, but is infact just another KIND of oppression.

I give you bonus points for walking straight out of Orwell’s 1984, but I’m afraid I have to immediately take them away due to the unbelievably retarded execution, which culminates in your belief that you’re posing clever, subversive satire.

Also, here’s you:

Your attention to detail will take you places in the communist hierarchy. Fear not though Dear Leader, those snippets of text which may incriminate you on the same principle,like misspellings, childish name calling, nonsensical rants and lack of content, will be purged by your loyal storm troopers to maintain your infallibility (officially we never saw your shortcomings).

How many more pronoun-Americans are going to have to suffer at the hands undesirables? Dear leader, this is exactly why your campaign is so noble. I too envision a world where nouns are not restricted by gender, nationality or race but by their party approved filing numbers (which are all equal as well).

Our associates at the ACLU will see to it your will is peacefully imposed (by whatever means necessary) so us freedom fighters can continue our moral crusade of online media liberation.

Masses, please welcome our first ever Gender Defender to the party ranks!

wow, that is really inappropriate; for several posts you have spend around 10 words calling the guy an idiot for accidentally using the wrong pronoun at one point in one of his posts, for every 1 single word you use criticizing his actual posts. That is neither respectable nor impressive. Your one and only point that does not revolve around generic threats of stupidity and obesity is as follows:

Now that is a very intelligent sounding statement; could you go into more detail about why you think his words make that statement, and what that statement means?

thanks

first, isnt the gear a onetime investment. imean, ofc if u want to buy 235325325 guitars that costs alot but once u have bought one u got one, travling isnt that expensive, u take a buss etc. living on the road, ok acceptable.
does really illegal downloads fuck that up. you say “meaning that they simply cant afford to throw away revenue on illigal downloads ” its not like any artists have had to cancel their tour because of piracy?Lol. ofc its expensive to get makeup etc. but dont they get paid to do an concert??? dont they get paid for the cd’s that they sell to the people who like their music? if people like it they buy it, if not they probly wouldnt have bought it in the first place, you know.[/quote]

i appreciate what your saying there mate, but the instruments etc… its not just the £600 odd quid for a gituar, its getting two or three of everything in case it blows up, its the having to eat out every meal cos you dont have a cooker etc…

and the side with album sales, a lot of promoters/labels gauge how big a tour an artist can do by record sales, so low sales means smaller tours, which means a band is more likely to jack it in, which means theres one less band out there to write your fave. ever song

Your satire fails for many reasons, one of which is that the 15 year old in question is MALE.

I’d ask how you could possibly mistake him for being FEMALE after he was explicitly referred to as male, but you are clearly a moron; the question would be redundant.

Another reason it fails(and by extension, you), is that without a grain of truth behind it, satire is completely ruderless.

In summary… You suck.[/quote]

Great observation comrade, but I assure you it is not gender discrimination (you may redeploy the feminist blitzkrieg back to Berkley).

Party elites in the propaganda dept. will have you know that statistics from enlightened countries with state run media, like Iran, Venezuela, etc., suggest females are more effective victims. We are all victims here aren’t we? I suggest you get with the times and liberate yourself from your oppressive meat missile if you haven’t done so already (highly unlikely).

Together we shall facilitate the demise of all entrepreneurial, technological, and artistic capitalist exploitation and, Stalin willing, embrace the glorious utopia people’s achievements such as open source software. Behold 2.01% of you are Linux users and have already freed your desktop from Mikkkrosoft. (http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php)

But I digress, a comrade can dream can’t he? The answer is no. The moral of this story is now completely null and void due to the gender technicality pointed out by our concerned friend, and rightly so. The unruly mobs may disperse, return to your mother’s basements and continue the struggle.

Comrade Anonymous, in our utopia of equality you have proven yourself more equal than others, prepare for an upgrade.

Your comrade,

Putin 08

And I meant my closer to be more effective; 10% profit on 100,000,000;
because a 10 million dollar profit is, alas, more provocative than a 10 thousand dollar profit.

Budget: $200 million dollars
Gross: $783 million dollars

So, every body punched the clock that year (sound guys, CG guys, actors, actresses, PR, catering, director, etc.) and got paid:
plus there was over $500 million dollars left over.

How about, oh, Pirates of the Carribean:
Budget: $140 million dollars
Gross: $650 million dollars
Again, every body punches the clock, gets paid, plus there was over $400 million dollars left over.

Let’s try my favorite, The Matrix [a dark horse].
Budget: $63 million dollars
Gross: $460 million dollars
Again, everybody punched the clock, got paid, plus there was over $350 million dollars left over.

Hell, I’ll go for a flop(per) now: Flyboys.
Budget: $60 million dollars
Gross: $13 million dollars (American)
BUT once again, everybody punched the clock and got paid; the INVESTORS lost money.

But did they? Poor men don’t invest $60 million dollars, rich men do; i.e. people who have $60 million dollars and more. They took an educated risk, and lost. All of the creators still got paid, all of the investors now own a movie, and all of the investors still have all of their other investments [diversify, diversify, diversify]; its commonly understood that when you are investing you win some and you lose some.
The point isn’t to win everytime, its to win more than you lose.

My point is, if the movie is produced, then everybody is paid, and there’s really good odds there’s a heap of money left over. THE MOVIE IS ALREADY PAID FOR!
Let me repeat that:

THE MOVIE IS ALREADY PAID FOR!

THE MOVIE IS ALREADY PAID FOR!

THE MOVIE IS ALREADY PAID FOR!

Not only that, but there are very good odds that not only did they all get paid, but once everybody was paid off, THEY KEEP CHARGING YOU THE SAME PRICE. Covering your costs, legit. Making a profit for your creative work (say, 10% profit on a $100,000 film), legit. Making 400% profit on a film? NO! Bad! Stop stealing our money, we already paid you bastards!!!

people only download HDTV cos they can… theres still not the demand for it on regular TV due to the cost of the service…
