I know it's not illegal for me, the paying consumer to download the MP3s on my hard drive. I just want no part of the ones that had it out there before PH was released.
Think of it this way...You're passing by Weird Al's house on your way to work when you notice a line at his front door. Wondering what's going on, you stop at the rear, and stand in line. Others are gossipping about the new CD he's giving out with secret hidden bonus tracks! Must be your lucky day, you think.
Twenty seven hours pass and you're finally approaching the door, having stood behind the one nostrilled lady with the flock of seagulls haircut. she seemed familiar but you just can't put your finger on it. Your time came and so you knocked on his door 146,027 times until he finally answered, took out your sheepskin wallet embrazoned with the ZZtop logo, gave him $15 in 2-dollar bills, and said "AL I want my bonus tracks!" in swahili, no less to impress the man....He replies, "Absolutely Not you HOOLIGAN!" and slams the door in your face, only after taking your money.
You knock another 146,027 times and the door opens but only a pie meets your face this time, and again no bonus tracks. Frustratingly, you leave.
Everyone else got their bonus tracks...but not you. You really think you should get them and not be ripped off. What do you do?
