[July 4th]

The whole album was up on file sharing sites long before release. Just like every album.

If people are worried about music screwing up their computer, they should do the exact opposite of what they're told by the RIAA. By all means, go and download the album from a file sharing site or torrent, because the industry's stupid requirements and upgrades actually have a better chance of screwing up your machine than downloading the mp3. The mp3, only very rarely, contains some sort of virus. The upgrades toy with the registry, open holes in the OS, and make significant changes to a working system.

mp3s don't have viruses that I am aware of, only exe's.
