Fuck, I already listen to R.E.M. too much, I can't imagine listening to them under this circumstance. I bet Michael Stipe is pissed off.

If they think the government is going to pay them royalties on their songs, they're out of their minds.

I would rather be water boarded than forced to listen to "losing my religion".

I'm trying to imagine circumstanes under which listening to "The Real Slim Shady" would NOT be considered torture...

For one thing, why aren't the bands getting royalty.

I'd use Muse myself.

No one should be forced to listen to Nine Inch Nails. People who listen to them intentionally should be drafted into the military.

Maybe the bands just want to release a compilation album "Music to Break You: Best Torture Songs of 2002"

#3 try "shiny happy people".

In college, I joked that my friends should leave that playing up a bit loud on repeat to annoy their contentious neighbors. They did it for a whole day. It wasn't a pretty situation afterwards. I didn't actually think they would do it, heh.

Because it's the fucking government, Will. Or haven't you realized yet that they think the rules don't apply to them?

They should just switch to using royalty-free music from indie Internet bands. Most of that stuff is awful enough to break anyone.

Sounds like they're going to sue under copyright law. Does playing to an audience of one naked, dog-bitten, mutilated, genitally-electrocuted Iraqi count as a public performance? Let's ask Antonin Scalia, anti-piracy blowhard and pro-torture wanker.

My guess is they're looking for a way to sue for copyright infringment.

Ziggity: My thoughts exactly.

What about the people who do it outside of prisoner situations? C89.5 I'm looking at you...

I would have used "Midnight at the Oasis."

Hmm. Shades of Panama City, Dec '89? What was it the invaders played to smoke out Noriega?

It's time to get your game on gentlemen.

It's not nice to fool with mother, and may I Reznor.

Send Trent a box of chocolate frogs and let's all jump on ther Nine Inch Nails Trail to year Zero again...

Editorial Director... That way... well... maybe I should incite a riot.

And another thing...

Do minutes used in the ether net and internet accompany billable time forwarded in intenet law and hidden trap doors?

I have this idea that precise pinpoit calculation of map co-ordinates, rooms and projected audio waves are transferred by secret account and rumour and innuendo.

Is it time for (WHASS UP YET?!!!)
