Wait, you mean he's scared that the music he produced, wrote, recorded, and was paid for repeatedly from over 30 years ago might be pirated... When it is already being pirated... And that he won't get paid for it.
Maybe he should have gotten that pre-nup last marriage after all if he's that worried about money.
Mr. McCartney, I would like to inform you of some internet trends of which you may previously be unaware. It has come to light in recent statements that you may be ill-acquainted with some of the goings-on on the internet and have thusly made some poor business decisions as a result. No one could fault you, I suppose, as you were merely ignorant of how the internet works, but suffice to say for your own benefit, and indeed the benefit of all those on the internet, I feel it imperative to inform you of your error:
Using the word "wap", Mr. McCartney, is a surefire way to become an internet meme. Real fast.
You say you got a real solution.
We'd all love to see the plan. You ask me for a contribution. We're doing what we can. But when you want money for people with minds that hate. All I can tell is Paul your have to wait. Don't you know it's gonna be all right."
I understand why Sir Paul is worried about someone wapping his music onto the internet. He feels that he is somehow being gypped. Not to worry. I'm sure he'll set some price on licensing but the lawyers will jew the price down.
@OMG! Ponies!: Sir, your lack of political correctness is appalling... slurring both gypsy's and jews in the same sentence simply makes you sound like a 'tard... what are you a woman?!?

2) I never trust any device that relies on a service for which there is no charge. That just seems destined to become useless (or substantially less useful) when this company goes out of business.
I don't believe surveys nor statistics....they're all BS made up to get people to do or think something they wouldnt normally. Nobody actually knows what everyone else does, all they can do is ass-u-me. If you asked 5000 people the same question you'd get 5000 different responses. #torrents
I guess I don't fit in this survey. I haven't bought a song in four years. The same with movies, game, software. They probably just said this to make the music industry feel better. #torrents
@fender7083: I haven't bought any music in what? 10 years? And yes, I also download movies and games...but I buy them when they worth the price.
Demos and trailers are not enough to evaluate them. #torrents
How could anyone see this simple statistic and draw the conclusion that piracy spurs sales? It's just as likely that music's biggest consumers are more likely to pirate music.
If I were a record company, I would not see these numbers and consider support of piracy. If there's any group whose increased piracy habits hurt record companies' profits the most, it's these big music consumers.
Now, my personal opinion on the matter is that traditional record companies will die out and be replaced a model that has promotion companies as the driving monetary force behind the music industry while supporting a model that includes free music distribution. So I'm not apologist by any means. #torrents

I find this very fitting considering how utterly useless 99+% of the internet truly is.

I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

@BergenCountyJC can't beat MW2: I loved "All You Need Is Cash." I think it has some of Paul's best work.

News Flash, sir Paul: People are pirating your music right now. Holding out from legitimate means of distribution isn't going to change that.
