eMusic

[Jeremy David]

Allofmp3.com makes no attempt whatsoever to compensate the musicians
whose work they are selling. No self-respecting actual pirate would
pay for the privilege of piracy.

If you're going to copy music in a ethically-shady fashion, at least
have the class to do it in the form of mix-tapes, or by using your
haxx0r sk1llz to get files illegally from t3h intarwebz. Paying
someone to do your piracy for you is lame.

- Jeremy "One of The Musicians"

P.S. If you do snatch music I've made from allofmp3.com, be cool and
buy me a sammich some time. I like the "Leonardo DeVeggie" from
Bruggers. I work on the South Side. I'll give you my office phone
number when you're ready to deliver.

P.P.S. The lameness of paying someone to do your piracy for you is
exemplified best by our third president, Thomas Jefferson, the lazy
land-lubbing scallywag who commissioned an invasion of Tripoli and the
rest of the Barbary Coast (and accidentally founded the U.S. Marines
in doing so.) You don't want to be like Thomas Jefferson do you?
