"we're not trying to ruin you but you owe us back royalties from the fucking 19th century"
Piracy is a moral obligation at this point. fuck these rent seeking parasites.
- We hate the labels but want to fuck the artists.
  
  Some of them could still be alive, in fact I wonder how many.
  Tell you what, send them a dollar, I guarantee it's more than the label would give them if you purchased their work new.
  and it would be a whole dollar more than if you bought the 78 being archived.

Oh god, what now?
