  1. Child abduction ≈ $25,000.
  2. Stealing the actual CD ≈ $2,500
  3. Robbing your neighbour ≈ $375,000
  4. Burning a house down ≈ $375,000
  5. Stalking someone ≈ $175,000
  6. Starting a dogfighting ring ≈ $50,000
  7. Murdering someone: “The maximum penalty is only $25,000 and 15 years in jail, and, depending on your yearly salary, would probably be far slighter a penalty than $2 million.”

I’m not giving you any crazy ideas, am I?

unfuckingbelievable!!

So, how much of that 2 million is going to the artists?

Oh right, it’s ok for a record company to steal/swindle from artists, but illegal when it happens to them. Give me a fucking break! Nobody owns sound!
