finally, something to cheer Jason for.

Just waiting for a knock at the door after the record companies sic the police on Jason music for stealing that music.

Wow… Is Justin Timberlake really that terrible?

Pirating music hurts the artists. It hurts the record companies even more. Very little “trickles down” to the talent.

Or RIAA will show up at your door to sue you big time.

Jason will still end up with 50,000 copies of an artist he hates. Seems he often doesn’t think through his schemes.

Federal law (Title 17, United States Code, Sections 501 and 506) provides severe civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, rental, or digital transmission of copyrighted sound recordings. Criminal penalties can be as high as five years in prison or $250,000 in fines.

The media can’t tell how many CDs you burn, just how many downloads you make. Besides, you don’t have enough allowance to buy 50,000 burnable CDs.

“Don’t Download This Song” by Weird Al Yankovic pretty much speaks for itself.

He’s just trying to lessen the competition for his favorite: Back Street Boys

50,000 disks? Think about it, oh, I wondered why the garage was full of cartons of disks…

I´m on to help Jason.

I’d rather have to listen to Justin Timberlake than Justin Beiber.

Burning them onto CDs makes no sense. The downloading is the illegal part, no need to actually burn them onto CDs.

It was worth a try.
