- SirSid, on 05/27/2009, -1/+182It seems the RIAA has a role model
- ghostlywind, on 12/09/2007, -3/+168I think this has just proved that Christmas is now all about capitalism.
- russianmonkey, on 12/09/2007, -1/+149This is just ridiculous.
Grinches! - completerobot, on 12/09/2007, -7/+143You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.
The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.
You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce. - Chaoticfist, on 12/09/2007, -1/+94I no longer feel bad about downloading a torrent called the 1000 songs of Christmas. I was even thinking about going out and buying a bunch of cds. But wtf......***** them. I think instead i will donate the money to a charity.
- OnEyM, on 12/09/2007, -1/+87Demanding money from charity organizations is so kewl... The police are like robin hoods vice versa ;) A+
- mongushu, on 12/09/2007, -0/+82if not to be heard by the public, what the hell is music for?
this is what happens when the distribution and valuation of music is left to non-musicians.
***** the copyright police. They are ruining the essence of music and criminalizing our technology and creative uses of the music we love and know. - JoeVet, on 12/09/2007, -1/+79Oh great! Now those b@stards are going to close down Digg.
- listed, on 12/09/2007, -3/+72seriously *****'em.. a bunch of greedy scumbags !
- mCanada, on 12/09/2007, -2/+66TPB: The Only Place Where Christmas Really Exists!
- Ajajadude, on 12/09/2007, -0/+64That'll be $20 for every person who reads your comment, please.
- Evolutuon, on 12/09/2007, -2/+60Pretty heinous if you ask me....The Happy Birthday song is copyrighted too.
- inactive, on 12/09/2007, -3/+60***** the RIAA?
- doshindude, on 12/09/2007, -1/+56Aren't those songs supposed to be public domain anyway????
- CaptainAO, on 12/09/2007, -0/+55Words do not describe how wrong this is.
- Kronos6948, on 12/09/2007, -0/+49I thought most Xmas songs were public domain?
- spyd3rweb, on 12/09/2007, -0/+46Support charity by downloading from piratebay this Christmas season.
- JoeVet, on 12/09/2007, -1/+45Incredibly Warner is charging $10,000 for the Birthday song to be played in films. That's just unbelievable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You
- Pbanta86, on 12/09/2007, -0/+40seriously absolutely insane, I want to know how they feel when they go into a charity asking for money. I would quit my job if I was forced to do that.
- RevEng, on 12/09/2007, -0/+35If only. Try $20,000.
- TheWhoHa, on 12/09/2007, -1/+33That was the last tea room in the UK I could spin electro house tracks in.
Those old ladies were my friends, dammit. - Berkana, on 12/09/2007, -0/+31Larry Lessig warned about this kind of abuse in his TED talk:
How Creativity is Being Strangled by the Law:

(Digg it up! This should be heard by all.) - mal1964, on 12/09/2007, -0/+31If you notice at red lobster, olive garden, chile's, or any other large restaurant chain, they all have their own happy birthday song.
- mookieXL, on 12/09/2007, -1/+30*!
- paulnasca, on 12/09/2007, -4/+33Few years ago I had talks with many chri$tian music composers and I asked them to give their music free to make the message from the music to be heard by many people. I even talked to them about the open-source movement and how it spread, how the open-source (free software) programmers gave the their programs free (as in speech). They started to mock me (and the open-source program written by me).
They (the christian music authors) claim that they sing for Jesus, Christmas, God, etc... But in reality is only all about money.
Paul - scooterfish, on 12/09/2007, -0/+27What does your being Canadian have to do with it?
- chicoer2001, on 12/09/2007, -1/+27Do cabbies need a license to play the radio?
- redcard, on 12/09/2007, -2/+26I have a musician friend who moved here to Nashville to try to break into the industry. He was a Christian singer, loved God, and everything else.
From just a YEAR in the scene , he basically decided to not do Christian music, and had serious doubts in his faith. Reason?
These "Christian Musicians" do some of the hardest drugs, biggest parties, and most women as compared to the "rock and roll" musicians. My friend believed it was all real.. and then they took him to a party that involved tons of cocaine, plenty of cheap whores, and a ton of alcohol. - Zippo, on 12/09/2007, -1/+25What the *****? What the hell is the point of a radio then?!
Jesus, people. If it's on the radio, it's already public, and the radio station's already paid licensing fees to broadcast that music TO THE PUBLIC. - Ajajadude, on 12/09/2007, -0/+24One can only hope that this causes some terrible backlash against PRS' members.
Anyway, this is another case where the copyright laws only affect those with no intention of trampling over the "rights" of the music owners. - Vorticity, on 12/09/2007, -0/+23So, ummm...does this mean that if I go down the street in London singing a song that I heard on the radio that I will get slapped with a huge fine for copyright infringement? Come on, even Metallica would say this has gone WAAAAAAY too far!
- rouslan, on 12/09/2007, -0/+22That's an interesting concept-if you feel bad for pirating CDs/DVDs, just donate some money to charity!
- Inoeth, on 12/09/2007, -1/+22That is really friggin ridiculous. That is truly evil and killing every meaning of Christmas and Charity... And then they wonder why they are hated...
- l00s3r, on 12/09/2007, -3/+23Happy non-denominational Northern Hemisphere Winter Consumerism Day!
I'd like to illegally display the lyrics to one of my favorite Zappa tunes that is quite topical to this story:
I'm The Slime
by Frank Zappa
I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin' out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't got for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks..
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin'room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, lookit me go - vwvan, on 12/09/2007, -0/+20I'm singing Happy Birthday to Jesus right now.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday dear Jesus.
Happy Birthday to you.
... and many more! - Professr, on 12/09/2007, -4/+24OMG, we can't have anyone enjoying semi-religious festive holidays like everyone else, can we? Giving gifts to people and donating goods and money to people in need simply has NO redeeming value whatsoever. I agree, it's, like, total religious garbage, mmmkay?
- boran, on 12/09/2007, -0/+18and when that time comes near they lobby congress for another twenty.
- TheDiggerz, on 12/09/2007, -2/+19This is really crappy, there were some children singing their carols in the town square collecting for the local hospice, and the police moved them on and told them that they are violating copyright.
Yep, nothing gets you in the Christmas spirit like telling children off for selling carols who were trying to help those less fortunate. - syroncoda, on 12/09/2007, -0/+16i thought christian religious music was open and free to sing? they've been going door to door singing for years every christmas so why now of all times do the copyright police show up and demand money for such a trivial thing? WHEN THE RIAA IS LOSING. so its time for dirty tactics. all i can say is, if you care about standing up for what is right, stand up and spit in their eye.
- Elranzer, on 12/09/2007, -0/+15So they're the sheriffs of Nottingham?
- Chaoticfist, on 12/09/2007, -0/+15Right there bros. Just remember if you like buy. Or donate some cash to charity.After all it is almost christmas.

- Berkana, on 12/09/2007, -0/+15Actually, digg this one: it already has 57 diggs:
Larry Lessig at TED: How Creativity is Being Strangled by the Law:
http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Talks_Larry_Lessig_H ... - JoeVet, on 12/09/2007, -3/+17All songs are copyrighted for eternity. Where have you been? Better not have a birthday party in a public place or go around a singing carols in your neighborhood anymore.
- Evildudetx, on 12/09/2007, -10/+23Sorry, but you brits are *****. Not to mention the whole license for a TV thing? Talk about governement overstepping their bounds a bit......
- RevEng, on 12/09/2007, -0/+13Who? When? Are they still alive? Copyright is a means to ensuring an artist benefits from their works, not that an infamous corporation has another excuse to charge exorbitant prices for something that everybody in the world already knows.
- daEvan, on 12/10/2007, -0/+13Am I the only one who actually sang as I read that comment?
- frazw, on 12/09/2007, -3/+15The TV license gives us non-partisan, advert free, TV which is accountable to the public. I used to hate the fact that I had to pay it but seeing the American media in action I am so glad the BBC exists and is regulated.
And come on this is real bad but do you really think the RIAA is any better? They are probably kicking themselves for not thinking of it first. - rouslan, on 12/09/2007, -1/+13OH No!!!!! You're violating copyright laws!! You should be arrested, interrogated, have all your electronic equipment confiscated, and jailed.
