Can I wear a vest?

Never even heard about this. Must be one of those US culture only.

Promise to check it out though, trigger man.

Beautiful would be a more appropriate description, imo.

If I wasn't this big tough man I would've cried.

Obviously there is more than one album. Why the hell else is Baz going around saying it? I doubt he grabs shit out of thin air.

If those "four" albums are ready for release, or even completed, is another question. The plans and songs are definitely there though. In some form or another.

She is also pro-life, member of the NRA, smoked marijuana (when it was legal, opposes it now), against gay marriage but "pro gay", responsible for the largest budget in Alaska history = supports big government, supports the death penalty and she's a...creationist and thinks it should be discussed in schools.

On the other hand she's pretty, young and got a approval rating in the 90s. That's what people will see and that's what they'll sell.

Sure, it's not right in any way. But that doesn't change the fact that you run a risk when you go around trying to sell an immaterial product.

You know how musicians used to make their living? Performing for a crowd, hoping somebody would be pleased enough to pay something back, out of good will.

And now we have downloading, which is simply a more organized version of the 'buddy swapping' from the old cassette days. Hell, perhaps you'll just go to the library and get your music there. Or stream the radio. There they are, giving it all away for free already.

Thing is, this isn't about stealing or ethics. It's just suddenly the business is starting to feel the effects. So because of that we're going to start throwing consumers in jail? For something everybody with the ability has been doing for over 30 years, and with the acceptance of the industry for what, 25 of them? I don't think that's right. What this guy did was wrong, but what the fuck, streaming something that's already out there is a small fine, not jail time.

Fact is this is here to stay. All they can do is adapt. There's still plenty of money to be made, even more so some claim since more people are introduced to music than ever before. In the end all you have is a couple of wealthy companies that is looking at 5-10 years making a little less than they used to before they think up something new. Most of the employees and artists will find new jobs and livings.

Now is that worth penalizing somebody over? Especially when you consider the amount of people that actually pertains to? There's one crime here, that's the original leaker. Then you have a misdemeanor from this what-is-his-name. That's all there is. Nothing worth getting all "rot in jail" over.
