Popularity rank 16 #64. manymanymp3.com

November 2, 2005

BRETT: Still getting your mp3s from that semi-legal allofmp3.com?
GREG: No, now I found manymanymp3.com. You can get any music you want. You pay nothing.

BRETT: Sounds even shadier. Thought you were all concerned with artists getting their fair share.
GREG: Well, you agree to pay later, Brett. If, you know, you like the music.

GREG: And if... if the band specifically asks you for the money.

GREG: It's... it's teaching musicians to be assertive, really! Th-that's what it's doing!
BRETT: Ever heard the term "slippery slope", Greg?

Popularity rank 17 #63. allofmp3.com

November 1, 2005

GREG: I'm having an iTunes crisis of faith, Brett. I just found this Russian site, allofmp3.com. It's like $2/album.

BRETT: Hmm. Think it's legal?
GREG: W-well, a portion of what I pay goes to the artist. So I'm not really
doing anything wrong... right?

BRETT: Show me where you read that.
GREG: Here on this blog. Next to that porn ad and the "Top 10 Warez Linkz" thing.

BRETT: Mmm. Well, I'll leave you to your rationalizing.
GREG: Bottom line, i-it's not MY fault it's not shut down... right? RIGHT?!

Popularity rank 18 #38. Album leakage

September 6, 2005

BART: The album leaked!? Who leaked it!? Sue 'em, Joel! Squeeze 'em 'til it hurts!
JOEL: Once the files are out there, sir, it's nearly impossible to tell who leaked them.

BART: Then who's downloading it? Sue them! Drain the bastards dry!!
JOEL: Eh, with these newer P2P file sharing networks... that's pretty hard to track.

BART: Well, God damn it, Joel....

BART: Can we just sue the Internet in general then?
JOEL: Legal's looking into it, sir....

Popularity rank 19 #34. Starting a podcast

August 9, 2005

GREG: In addition to my LiveJournal and my Flickr feed, I've decided to start my own podcast....
BRETT: That audio blog thing? Man, why do you produce all that crap?

GREG: Why? Why?!? Because my voice aches to be heard! Because the world needs to hear what I have to say! Because it is my right! Because I can!!

GREG: And because it doesn't take too much effort.

BRETT: Well, thank God the Internet has now empowered you to create pointless content in every possible medium.
GREG: Just makin' that long tail a l'il longer, baby!
