The Music Man – King Of The Pirates Has A Goal – Own It All!

This article sounds like a hoax to me.

I am preserving our history. When the world goes up in flames in this jihad against all things Western, music will be one of the first casualties. I want to preserve that. No matter what it costs.

Me, too. This is war.

Well, unless the stormtroopers burn all the hard disks and computers. Oh well. So much for music.

"Because the people that want to destroy us love death. They live to die. We’ve never fought an enemy like this before. " - if i had a quarter every time i heard that....

What a wanker.

And, um, isn't a hard drive a really bad way of preserving *anything* for any length of time?

Um, downloading the music *is* illegal, even if you don't distribute it.

So, what ones does he have?

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 06:53 (twenty-one years ago)

how many of them has he listened to?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 06:54 (twenty-one years ago)

He only listens to Pearl Jam's Ten. The rest are just for posterity.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 07:03 (twenty-one years ago)

He has 900,000 mp3s and he still listens to fucking U2 and Green Day.

― Every country has their stupid (AaronHz), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 07:04 (twenty-one years ago)

he probably has all those pearl jam live CDs

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 07:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I call bullshit, this guy is a fiction. He talks like an onion article.

― Every country has their stupid (AaronHz), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 07:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, downloading the music *is* illegal, even if you don't distribute it.

-- Hurting

but in the future, when society has collapsed and armageddon has begun, no one will give a rats ass if downloading is illegal!

I mean seriously, look at this part:

Doug: Then you know that our country would come to a stand still. Our economy would collapse, and so would many others. If you thought life in America changed after 9/11, multiply that by 1000 and you begin to understand just how destructive it would be.

MacNET: Well, I’d love to discuss politics with you all day, but I’m here to talk about the music. And you are depressing me. So, what you are saying is that you are saving the music so that no matter what happens someone somewhere would be the gatekeeper of music.

Shades of Marissa Marchant interviewing herself in a southern accent, no?

Is edonkey good then?!?

― rwillmsen (rwillmsen), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 07:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Mathematically, I have some problems with how he gets to the 900,000 in ONLY 10 months. His answer to how many MP3's he has ...

Doug: Just over 900,000. I’ve been doing this for 10 months. I started slowly and right now I’m able to get about 1000 songs a day. I would like to say that given enough time I’d have a copy of every song ever recorded. But who knows how much time we have.

10 months is approximately 304 days. 900,000 / 304 = 2,961 songs per day, 3x more than he says he acquires each day. Fishy too that with 900,000 all he wants to talk about is U2 and Green Day. Either way, funny article.
