"unless, that is, I'm wrong on this and the author can still be sued" Well duh. Anyone can sue. I can sue you for this comment. I can get a lair, claim that your post here infringes on my copyright(s). If the liar is good enough and the Judge is in east Texas, then compel Mike & the ISP to turn over the info on who the IP was assigned to, and blah blah we've seen it all before. Sure Mike could do this, waste all kinds of money. I wouldn't. There is no risk to me to lie. So even if Mike did this and it was clearly copyfraud, there is no penalty to the accusers. Smart ass.
First off, when I was in school, the USA had tough skin and weren't pussies insulted by everything.
Secondly,
"you are also causing other people to inhale second hand smoke that they do not wish to inhale."
You want smoke free air outside, carry an oxygen tank. I was not smoking inside fool.
"You should get suspended because not only are you violating the drug" Nicotine is not a controlled substance, nor is it illegal. You should get smacked for being such an idiot.
Small groups? You are kidding right? You prove you have no clue about this subject/genre. Metal heads are everywhere. One is probably sitting next to you now. In the metal heyday those bands sold out stadiums time time again, album after album, tour after tour, year after year. Albums were 7-10 bucks, concert tickets were 7-20 bucks and t-shirts were 7-10. Being a teenager with a decent job could afford you the album, t-shirt, and ticket.
And surprise suprise, the first thing I used to do when I got an album was to dub it and give it to my friends. They would hear it, decide they liked it (or not) and shelled out the 7-10 bucks for it. I cant tell you how many albums I purchased that way. In the case of Iron Maiden the album art was as much a part of it as the music. Eddie is awesome.
Flash to present day. Immortal Technique & Paris were given to me from a co-woker on a flash drive. The complete collections. After a month or so I had some extra cash and bought their whole collections because I liked their music.
Clutch, Coal Chamber, Deathalizer, Devil Driver, Flaw, Grip Inc., Hatebreed, Hellyeah, Kyuss, Lacuna Coil, Lamb Of God, MurderDolls, Mushroomhead, and on and on, and thats just a partial from my Metal folder. Guess what? All free. Free, free, free, free, free, free, and free. Guess what else? At least one album bought, bought, bought, bought, and bought from each artist.
Metalheads are older now. No longer do we dress in jeans concert shirts and denim jackets with the great Iron Maiden artwork patch on the back. (I still have it though.)
Most of us now have kids, jobs, car payments, mortgages, etc. I dont give a fuck who it is 100+ for a concert ticket is absurd. 35-50 for a concert shirt, are they fucking out of their minds? I wont, repeat wont, spent that kind of money, and believe today's parents wont either.
So now instead of having 100,000 fans shell out $15-$20 bucks to see them in a stadium, it is $50 on up for a 3000 seat club. Do the math.
I dont care how much I love your music, when I can take my family camping for the weekend for the cost of 2 concert tickets, ill tell you to go fuck yourself.
Now here is where your true colors show:
Beanie Baby collectors or hidden camera pervs.
What a fucking asshole you must be. Hidden camera pervs, yeah ok buddy.
Coulda saved yourself a lot of tome and just posted Metal sucks.
No matter, the first thing I think of when hearing that name now is what a bunch of assholes they must be, and how they lost the opportunity to collaborate with Fitty and take advantage of getting a whole new generation interested in their music.
"My guess is you want them to emulate all of those upper-class folks with tenure and give their music away. Sorry bud. That's not how it works on the street."
No boBBY boy, thats exactly the way it works in the hip-hop world. You think you hear real rappers on the radio?
"That's not how it works on the street." - Blahhhhhh ha ha ha. boB thinks he has street cred now. Go go gangsta boB.
Unless they are gettin paid, I doubt it. There used to be a stigma about "selling out." Rap made it commonplace. Others followed. Now you have a family in a car singing Ozzy songs. Gettin P-A-I-D. I bet he will be silent because ya know, he wouldn't want to lose that NASCAR deal and ones like it.
50 Cent: Vitamin Water
50’s best known and most lucrative recent revenue stream is his endorsement deal with Vitamin Water. After signing on to shill for the brand’s Formula 50 beverage, 50 got a stake in parent company, Energy Brands. When Coca-Cola bought Energy in May 2007, 50’s stake netted him $100 million.
Nah, big tough gangster guy has been bought and paid for.
Fitty will just cut a check and move on.

Do you own a computer? Yup there it is, they have a computer. You have the right to...[uncontrollable laughter]
YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS! Now shut up and get on the train. We have new facilities built just for you. Our internment, uh, holding facilities, are state of the art.
"Maybe he was more angry because his cut of what they were still earning went down as well."
He is just mad that his 20+ year gravy-train is over and may actually have to get out of bed before noon to make a living just like the rest of us do. EEkkkk, just like a... a... commoner.
Moving into a place with a HOA is a suckers bet. Gee let me have some ahole with nothing better to do than call the police because i put my trash out on Saturday because I was not going to be home on Sunday, or have some cop put a notice on my door because he thinks my grass is too high, or when they put no parking signs on a street that a fire truck could do a 3 point turn on, or they cut all the trees and grass on the hill behind me to make what my wife and myself called the ass-hill. Yeah, no thanks, if I wanted to be a renter I would still do so. Glad I sold that beautiful house in a communist community. Never again.
I respectfully request you apologize to all of the tabloids out there, as you have disrespected their good names by associating them with the US Government propaganda machine AKA the Mainstream Media.
At least tabloids are up front with what they are.
You're right. No need to know how much a gallon is, or how far it will take you. No need to know how much a quart is, just fill the engine in your car until its full.
The answer is that if your 1 million users decide to download lolcats at noon all together, and your network cant handle it, upgrade your network. Caps are a pure money-grab, and have nothing to do with the capacity of the network.
Would be funny if Marcus' rap was lousy, but it is good.
Would be funny if he/she/it actually presented points of interest to debate, but that would take intelligence, which is clearly missing from this particular AC. Nothing but insults, and poor ones at that. He might as well just be saying, "Oh yeah, your momma." It is that kind of schoolyard nonsense.
Hid Id is clearly disturbed. They may have meds for that.
"I just disagree with Marcus" I disagree with you. You have a absurd fixation with him that just wreaks of homosexual wanting. Its OK. We know you loooooooooove him. Its cute, I think. Like the little girl that kicks the little boys shins.
You are a pathetic wimp keyboard warrior. Your posts should be stopped, they are a stain on the underwear of this site.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.
