This whole Led Zep being coy thing is actually starting to get irrritating cause they are basically playing everyone for fools. People, trust me, the tour has been booked for a while now. This is not a maybe AT ALL. Everyone who works in the concert industry knows what is happening. Mark your calendars for the fall.

u2's manager wants the internet removed so no one has to hear their bad new album.

nicole atkins songs are boring.

McGuiness makes a bad analogy with "If you were a magazine advertising stolen cars, handling the money for stolen cars and seeing to the delivery of stolen cars, the police would soon be at your door."

Except no money is being exchanged with music sharing. And the files being exchanged are generally compressed and of inferior quality (as if the "stolen car" you received was made out of cardboard). And for many music fans, these mp3's serve only as a preview of the album. Radiohead gave away their entire new album as mp3's, but the CD still sold millions in it's first week of release.

Again, some moron holds up Radiohead's giveaway of "In Rainbows" mp3s as a model when in reality hardly any other recording artists have a rabid-enough following to be able to do it, too.
