Crime is in vogue, usually. Ask the music industry. 50 Cent if selling records about being a Pimp, Gangster, etc, blah blah… (but work with me hear – you do think he’s just a tosser right? Anyway, tangent…), and countless other artists are busy promoting themselves as killer, thieves, vandals and drug users. The Music Industry doesn’t really seem to care what effect these kind of glorifications may have on the views and actions of wider society.
However after years of pushing pimps, hoes, guns, drugs, anarchy, murder and disrespect at consumers, the music industry is suddenly pulling out the morality card.
“No!” they cry, “We can’t have kids committing heinous crimes like PIRACY! It’s wrong!”
How long have pseudo-rebellious thirty year olds on a music industry pay check been telling kids to ‘stick it to the man,’ without a hint of the obvious irony. Now suddenly the kids are taking that very advice, and the Industry is having a widdle cry
BTW, original concept for this article, gleaned off boingboing.
