I say I say I say, did you hear the one about the band who were so bent
on self-destruction that they sued anyone who had ever bought one of
their records, managed them, designed their artwork, wrote a book about
them or played with them? And stole all their money...

If KJ were lawyers they'd end up sueing themselves...how about a KJ
comedy club?

	Same here, but to back up my earlier outburst, 
	I've already bought every KJ release 3, sometimes 4 times -
vinyl,
	replacement copies for fucked vinyl, CD, re-issued CD, etc - so
	there you go, I've already paid for someone's free download
several
	times over... generally I wouldn't do it to new/upcoming bands
	but someone as long in the tooth as KJ? No problem. If they're
	not making a living doing this after all this time, they're in
the
	wrong career.

	Obviously, I love KJ, or I wouldn't be here. But I'll admit that
I heard 
	msny of their albums illegally and unauthorized over p2p file
sharing 
	networks before I decided, "Okay, I am definitely a fan of this 
	excellent band." A band whose oeuvre I might not've heard hadn't
it been 
	for Soulseek. Then I decided to collect the physical
merchandise. 
	
	At that point, I did proceed to track down vinyl and CD copies
of the 
	band's material, as well as other non-downloadable merch., like 
	t-shirts, stickers, et. al. 
	
	I don't think many bands realize how much mp3 downloads really
HELP 
	them. If a band is so insecure about its material that it wants
folks to 
	buy their LPs before listeners hear them and find out they suck
-- well, 
	then, posh on that band. A confident band would WANT to get the
music 
	out there, bar none, to prospective listeners, and would
confidently 
	assume real appreciators of the band would buy the real
vinyl/CD. That's 
	how many punk bands operate nowadays.
	
	I have a fine collection of KJ merch. I dunno how much of my
purchases 
	goes into Jaz's, Geordie's, etc, pockets, but that's not my
fault. I 
	download *AND* I buy. The two are not inseparable.
	
	See, for example, this picture of me with a really nice
right-eye shiner 
	(seizure disorder) in my very proudly-owned KJ "Requiem"
t-shirt. My 
	girlfriend bought it for me from England for Xmas. So, no, I am
not some 
	slovenly bootlegger who never buys actual KJ merch. I really do
love 
	Killing Joke, heart and soul. I love owning their actual,
physical 
	material. But I'm also a punk at heart: Music for the
masses/don't quit 
	your day job.
