@neil where can I get one I absolutely need it
@wombatpandaa @neil That would be my question as well ๐Ÿคฉ

@wombatpandaa @neil you steal the design from Neil :-)

And make sure to use the rip off (โ€œstolenโ€) version of the font like they did on the original campaignโ€ฆ.

@jonathankoren I don't understand? Is this a t-shirt that you've got?!

@neil think itโ€™s fairly obvious that itโ€™s a commentary on the facile billionaire backed idea that maximal intellectual property laws are anything except transparent rent seeking.

By reading this toot, you agree to a revokable license. Failure to pay 100 USD to Venmo jonathan-koren-1 for a license will result in prosecution resulting in 20 years imprisonment and 250,000 USD fine.

@jonathankoren Ah, thanks for explaining what you meant!
@neil tl;dr needs LLM summary
@neil Got the same one! ๐Ÿ‘Š
@neil I predict this will be as successful as the original anti-piracy campaign it's based from

@neil

They have been doing it with money for centuries.

@neil Where can I buy these?
@neil Fucking Genuis!!!
@neil Looking forward to Muskrat and Sam Altman wearing the T-shirt.

@neil

I need to know the relevant experience of those I bother to question.

@neil Proprietary and child-killing...

by the way, it is my obligation as a GenXer and old school internaut to declare a hearty FUCK METALLICA and leave it for the chitlins to figure out why

@neil

@blogdiva @neil itโ€™s mad how many of our childhood references have turn out to be wronguns
@Nicovel0 @blogdiva @neil *googles why do we hate Metallica*
@DaNanner @blogdiva @neil oh if you want a proper WTF Google Bernard Cantat, former frontman of Noir Desir, a French rock band of the same period. Reader discretion is advised.
@DaNanner @Nicovel0 @blogdiva @neil I'm also GenX so can remember when a Google search actually returned results to a query.
@flipper @Nicovel0 @blogdiva @neil I remember ask jeeves, altavista, and being annoyed AF when google became a verb instead of a noun

@DaNanner @flipper @Nicovel0 @blogdiva @neil And Veronica and Archie...

And before I found those, I had a notebook I'd copy BITNET addresses into for the good ListServs...

@flipper @DaNanner @Nicovel0 @blogdiva @neil it was very good until 2-3 years ago. Shame on them.

Weird Al Yankovic - Enter Napster (Metallica Parody)

YouTube
@blogdiva @neil #KidsTheseDays think Napster was some sort of rest tracking app.
@mekki @blogdiva @neil I still have 90% of my Napster files. Including Metallica, shitty quality, but that's not the point. From my cold dead hands ๐Ÿคฃ
@970uts1d3 @mekki @blogdiva @neil Years ago I bought a yardsale PC full of tracks from Kazaa. Burned much of it to CDs, lots of Middle Eastern stuff.
@blogdiva @neil is this the napster thing?
@blogdiva @neil
could leave them plenty other stuff to figure out why, e.g. "the problem with music", negativland etc etc..

@blogdiva @bituur_esztreym @neil

Ha! I can't hear the number 11 spoken out loud (or pretty much any reference to time zones) without immediately thinking "El-EV-en ... El-EV-en".
