One thing they didn't get right: Skeet Ulrich is not the drummer for Metallica, Lars Ulrich is.

You're joking, right? 100 songs a year for just $25 a month? That's $300 a year for 100 songs? Even if you assumed that the average CD contains only 10 songs, that would be $30 for each CD's worth of music. Fuck the recording industry. Wait...don't bother. They've already fucked themselves.

Did you see the little note that says "Never again let a free MP3 wipe your hard drive?" snort.

Oh this is good. I'm deleting Morpheus right now and signing up.

I wonder how long he'll get to keep that domain name.

"HillaryR says: this r00lz!"

That is so funny!

Damn, I bet that sounds sarcastic, but seriously that is really funny.

I think this thread is much more insightful than the one we had two days ago about the same subject.

How do I get a copy of "We Own the World?" I bet that song kicks ass.

Hello everyone - I'm a musician and occasional MeFi poster. I created the Pressplay parody site that you've linked to above. Just wanted to say that I'm very grateful and flattered you noticed the site and found it funny. PS Hootch... I know the drummer from Metallica's not called Skeet Ulrich. That was my little joke ;)
