Weird Al's new album features a song about illegal music sharing, which is ironically up for free download on his myspace page.

I thought it was pretty funny, how about you?

Again with the copying of another artist.

System of A Down's "Don't Steal This Album" anyone?

But the album title is "Steal This Album!"

I've never been much of a fan of Weird Al. I prefer music serious, or somewhat at least.

Usually his lyrics are a little more catchy or have double-meanings, but I did like this one. It would be more funny if the subject wasn't so serious.

Anyone remember Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book"? Maybe I'm dating myself, but it was way before (home) computers.

(Note: FWIW, Abbie was a 60's radical kind of guy, and he writes about how to 'stick it to the man'.)

Oops.. meh.. I knew it was something like that.

Oh wells.. I'm not one to claim I'm never wrong, but this would be my one time this year.

And I'm not one to pass up an oppurtunity to prove someone wrong. Especially since I'm a huge SoaD fan.
