    This is the kind of article where I prefer to read the featured discussions only. Thank god for that button.

    There are some enormous boneheads out there.

    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.

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

    In reply to Paul McCartney Doesn't Understand the Internet
    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."

    Imagine no possessions
    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

    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.

    Dear Foley, he's serious, isn't he?

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