some kids I know, get this, actually robbed a fucking church recently. charged with felonies and all that shit- the fact that these people are "kids" should have nothing to do with the consequences. hell, I did tons of stupid shit as a kid, mostly vandalism, which I ended up paying for and rightfully so.

the thing is, this isn't petty theft or vandalism; this theft can possibly effect a person's business. not that I don't find the whole thing hilarious, but come on, what the fuck did they expect?

Felony charges?

You know...I've thought about it, and I can see why the band is upset. I agree with the guy who talked about how these guys crossed the line...because well, they did cross the line. You don't go in someone's house just because it's unlocked and raid their fridge.

So two over zealous fans are being faced with felony charges? That's really fucking stupid.

I'm not going to make any type of bold statement about how I'll never be a fan again, and how I'm not going to buy the album or anything like that....but I must say that I'm extremely disappointed in Billy Corgan. It's like I said on Myspace, it's not like Billy never did anything completely fucking stupid in his life.

But this can't be under the same umbrella as file sharing. The value of intellectual property is as material that could turn a profit if sold rather than freely distributed, like an actual sound file or other useful thing. The album's main value is in its musical content, not the packaging, isn't it?

They're being charged? H'uh. Who'd have thought. I always thought it was okay to break into private property and take whatever I wanted.

Im just suprised they were jamming at some cheap ass placed where you could get in for 40 bucks, i could see this being somewhat legitimate if they were taken from their home, or a legitimate studio

The band would be silly to press changes. This should be the beginning of the promotion of Zeigeist. They are waiting too long to start promoting it.

these thieves can fucking die for all i care.

from what i understand, they are being charged for stealing property, not for the distribution of the photos over the internet. theft is a crime and should be charged, and this may not be entirely under the pumpkins control, 99% chance that those photos were copywritten and paid for by Reprise.. so these kids are going to be dealing with theft charges from a corporation, ultimately billy and co. may not have the final say.

Either way it goes, i don't give a fuck. the photos sucked anyway. those kids stealing them wasn't worth me viewing them early anyway.. maybe they'll learn something from this.

i hope you're right.




if true, it's absolutely fucking hypocritical to charge these two with a felony; the band photographs Death as President of the U.S., and then presses felony charges against two kids - taking away their right to vote if convicted. how about a dumb political statement.

???
