Yeah, I guess this is really going to hurt the album sales to the few hundred terrorists we have in captivity at this time.

I know Middle-Eastern terrorists are big fans of the genre.

The Guardian, looking out for terrorist’s rights since...

>The track is called Babylon by U.K. artist David Gray. Howard Knopf, a Canadian lawyer specializing in intellectual property, says that the U.S. military may owe Gray royalties for playing his music in a public space.<

When did Gitmo become “public space”?

So the big purple gets to pocket some big green profits from the ‘torture’ of the club gitmo muzzies?

Ain’t capitalism great?

How dare they use Mmetallica. However, Enter Sandman is not the best song for this. Unforgiven and Unforgiven II would work better.

Frankly, this list is just cruel.
1. Fuck Your God - Deicide (That'll piss them off)
2. Die MF Die - Dope (personally offensive. OK by me.)
3. Take Your Best Shot - Dope (eh)
4. White America - Eminem (mockin the US?) 5. Kim - Eminem (horrible song. good torture)
6. Barney Theme Song - Barney the Dinosaur (That is so wrong.)
7. Bodies - Drowning Pool
8. Enter Sandman - Metallica
9. Meow Mix TV Commercial - Meow Meow Meow (I'd break, fast)
10. Sesame Street TV Theme

This might be a good thing. It’s the kind of thing that would make a few Congressman so angry that they would try to change the copyright laws to get back at the music industry, which has become far too aggressive in prosecuting people who use their music.

I heard that the ultimate torture at Gitmo after the glazed chicken with green beans and almonds was the “Comfy Chair”.

Please file charges against my next door neighbor. I am regularly tortured by his music. Contact me immediately for name and address of offender.

Who knew I had this way to alleviate my torture.

So, did Janet Reno have to pay royalties to Nancy Sinatra for using her “These Boots Are Made For Walking” in Waco to try and force the Branch Davidians out (before she sent in the ‘big guns’)???

This can all be solved very quickly by playing the soundtrack to Yentl.
