    File under 'most richly deserved and overdue lawsuit in the entire history of music.' I look forward to watching the DOJ eviscerate them. Can we get a side order of racketeering charges to go with it?

Just expressing cynicism without the seed of a discussion isn't really very helpful for fostering discussion, which is what Tildes is for.

          Fair enough. I'll edit it to be just as unwelcoming to their general sentiment while being more polite. Thanks for calling me out.
