And learn to park for that matter! Hehe, j/k I know it was just for the shot!
 
I thought it was kind of funny that they gave 3 people 48 hours to do nothing else but download MP3s. Then they used that to extrapolate to the rest of the world coming up with a figure of 3.6 billion songs downloaded every month. Last time I checked, the rest of the world has better things to do than sit around all day, every day downloading MP3s.

Must be some of that "fuzzy math" I've been hearing so much about.

I am so sorry, but the mp3 thing is far from a "life and death" issue....more like, "will I, RIAA mogul, be able to afford that new Ferrari this year or not" issue. And couching it as really being all about the artists is just disgusting....the artists' worst enemy is by far the RIAA. They have the artist over a barrel in almost every respect...either you sign this contract where you are essentially an indentured servant (and will not own the rights to your own f*cking songs), or you can go back to your garage and never have a career in the music industry. End of story.

I also loved how he talked about the recent mega-mergering like it was supposed to be a good thing and would mean more choice for the consumers. What planet does he live on?:|
