The evidence supporting those claims is dubious. They have no way to guarantee if that total number of downloads would have translated into actual album sales. At best, they can estimate a given percentage of them might have been, but even those claims are on shaky grounds. God knows I'll download an album from…

It's the Deep South. They've probably been letting that shit go since the late 1950s.

As he mentions in the interview, it very much depends on the terms of your contract.

That a bunch of rich motherfuckers run around making millions of dollars while playing a child's game so that another bunch of even richer motherfuckers can get even richer?

What, the curtains?

Ah, in other words, you're a moron.  Got it.  That explains so much.

Everyone on Earth already *is* a dumbass.  Don't need a Z-virus for that.

So… do you work for AMC, or just intern there?

Nah, kid. Back in the day, we used to sic rabid bears on spam-bots, salespeople and A Grey Man Writes (or any one of his eight million other accounts) on the regular.

Yeah, anyway, Star Wars: The Old Republic has actually become fun now that it's free to play, though I mostly run space missions.  Really interested in the upcoming PVP space missions.
