Hi falafelboy.

You are absolutely correct. The citizens of a country have every right to discard the worthless trash that some corrupt politicians end up becoming. Just take a look at all the entertainment industry lobbying. But fortunately for you, you live in a democratic society where that option to discard is available to you. Unfortunately citizens of socialist countries aren’t that lucky, and do in fact have to “take it up the ass” as you say.

But from a technological standpoint, I think it is terrific that the Decemberists are experimenting with BT.

Wow.. I didn’t know people use torrents to actually share “free” files. I thought the whole thing is copywrite’d stuff =P Anyways, I agree, I know a few friends who do the same thing.. why not?

Yes Alex, off course. Musicians shouldnt be political. So who should then? Politicians?

Do you see the problem? What happens when politicians abuse their power? Do we take it in the ass and say thank you?

ok, thats enough bitching.

Ha ha ha, I don’t think there is anything more pathetic than a musician with a political opinion. I think they should focus on creating better music, rather than be Karl Marx’s incompetent pooches.
