the real reason for internet music piracy
Napster. Kazaa. "File-sharing." Internet piracy. Intellectual property theft. Call it what you will, I know the real reason behind it.
It's not because CDs are too expensive. It's not because people feel entitled to free shit.
It's because it's too hard to liberate the fucking CDs from their wrappers.
The outer cellophane layer isn't too bad. It's that inner sticky layer that gets me every time. "Pull" exhorts the little tab, and I always do. And I always pull the fucking tab off, leaving behind the rest of the sticky layer, clamping the CD shut like an adhesive chastity belt. I, increasingly frustrated, am reduced to a small chimpanzee as I hoot and holler and tear into the CD.
In other news, the new CD from A Perfect Circle kicks ass.
