Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

Here's another classic:

"UMG Says Throwing Away Promo CDs is Illegal"

[quote]
In a brief filed in federal court yesterday, Universal Music Group (UMG)
states that, when it comes to the millions of promotional CDs ("promo
CDs") that it has sent out to music reviewers, radio stations, DJs, and
other music industry insiders, throwing them away is "an unauthorized
distribution" that violates copyright law. Yes, you read that right --
if you've ever received a promo CD from UMG, and you don't still have
it, UMG thinks you're a pirate.

All Intellectual Monopolies, and the corrupt laws which support them,
must be revoked. Now.
