- LetsGoHawks, on 02/01/2008, -0/+40DRM free Beatles music has been available since the early 1960's. First on vinyl, later on 8 track, cassette and CD.
- Scopitone, on 02/01/2008, -2/+35BREAKING: RIAA to sue Xenu!
- LeRenard, on 02/01/2008, -6/+27I like the Beatles, but the obvious choice here would have been "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple.
- Avaseal, on 02/01/2008, -3/+23Damn Space Aliens win again
- trogdor282, on 02/01/2008, -1/+19I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MACNEIL AND HER COMPELLINGLY SHORT GARMENT!
- bogatash, on 02/01/2008, -0/+16That song is confusing enough for a human to understand. Look at the lyrics.
Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva

- KMye, on 02/01/2008, -1/+13I was going to say digg gets dumber every day, but you've been here longer than me...
- MattB123, on 02/01/2008, -0/+10Actually, they should just send him out there!
- inactive, on 02/01/2008, -1/+10Wow, early 90s techno music!!!! Thanks for the memories!
- acatzr800, on 02/01/2008, -3/+12Maybe we should broadcast some of Toby Keith's anti-terrorist music to discourage possible attacks.
And last I checked, I had some DRM free Beatles music, so they wouldn't be the first to hear it. - gavinrobinson, on 02/01/2008, -2/+11i liked this better when i dugg the nasa press release yesterday:

- LeRenard, on 02/01/2008, -2/+10Hi, Welcome to Digg, you must be new here :)
- BigBallistix, on 02/01/2008, -4/+11I'd prefer if they sent Prodigy - Out of Space.
- GregIsLegend, on 02/01/2008, -0/+7...and you sir lose... very very hard.
- actorboy, on 02/01/2008, -3/+10Slow news day at Gizmodo, it seems.
- MasterPain, on 02/01/2008, -0/+7What if aliens take offense to "Nothing's gonna change my world " and come here to change it ?
- o0joshua0o, on 02/01/2008, -1/+7That's a good way to see whether or not they exist. Sue them, and snap a picture when they show up for court.
- KMye, on 02/01/2008, -0/+6If I were an alien civilization, I might take that as an act of war...
- Raphyy, on 02/01/2008, -1/+7Howcome they get awesome freebies?
- Rizzen, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5To think NASA could have been the first to rickroll the universe.
- GregIsLegend, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5That's actually really cool in my opinion.
- freshyill, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5Where, exactly, are you finding Beatles music *with* DRM?
- techweenie1, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5Surely Tom Cruise is the only one who can help us now.
- thescorpion420, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5Didn't scientists realize a few years ago that radio signals dissipate into noise in less than 2 light years?
- inactive, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5What if the sound of the Beatles is offensive to their culture? They'll get pissed and invade.
- kahakauai, on 02/01/2008, -1/+6Xenu must be behind this!
- GregIsLegend, on 02/01/2008, -0/+4You sir are a winner.
- damnyooneek, on 02/01/2008, -2/+6(2 stoned NASA scientist)
NASA scientist 1: Dude...
NASA scientist 2: Dude...?
NASA scientist 1: It would be so trippy if aliens could vibe to the Beatles.
NASA scientist 2: Dude... I have an idea for work tomorrow.
NASA scientist 1: Cheetos are the *****.
NASA scientist 2: yea. - mfrieze, on 02/01/2008, -0/+4I love this song
- jccalhoun, on 02/01/2008, -0/+3it will be in the public domain by the time it gets to any aliens anyway so it doesn't really matter. by the time they get it everyone will be able to legally get it for free.
- mistergoomba, on 02/01/2008, -0/+3are we going to send the aliens acid, too?
- roosterjm2k2, on 02/01/2008, -0/+3Not to mention all of the millions of people who have BOUGHT beetles music since the 60s...
Interesting that we sent the music, but the tie to DRM was just an excuse to bitch a little more... - salvadorwii, on 02/01/2008, -0/+2rick roll tha aliens, thats a bad idea, they will get pissed
- zimbra, on 02/01/2008, -1/+3Radio waves have been carrying the Beatles' (and everyone else's) songs out into space for years anyway...
- Kardde, on 02/01/2008, -0/+2SETI recently found that transmissions originating from Earth lose their strength and turn into random noise at around 1 to 2 light years away.
- salvadorwii, on 02/01/2008, -0/+2i think the song will be uploaded to the space pirate bay
- bctrainers, on 02/01/2008, -0/+2/facepalm
- VIPAccess, on 02/01/2008, -0/+2Their best song that I feel is very underrated. I really think it's the perfect fit.
- BingoPower, on 02/01/2008, -5/+7Glad they're not sending any of Enya's music... we'd have a gazillion alien battleships headed our way in no ***** time at all...
- NYC10004, on 02/01/2008, -1/+3We've been broadcasting into space for years. I think they'll get our first broadcast long before this. Think it was a Hitler speech at the Olympics.
- DarKnight90, on 02/01/2008, -0/+2They got to pay for the rest of the songs. It will be the down fall of man.
- str3ama, on 02/01/2008, -0/+2everyone knows aliens hate DRM.
- trogdor282, on 02/02/2008, -0/+2Sorry they dug you down, bro. They just don't know their Futurama quotes!
- tim2nyy, on 02/01/2008, -2/+4Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind.
- diggymow, on 02/02/2008, -0/+1Yeah I'm pretty sure Brittany's 'Piece of Me' came from Mars so you might have a point there.
