comic strip | panel 1 - GREG: I'm having an iTunes crisis of faith, Brett. I just found this Russian site, allofmp3.com. It's like $2/album. | comic strip | panel 2 - BRETT: Hmm. Think it's legal?; GREG: W-well, a portion of what I pay goes to the artist. So I'm not really; doing anything wrong... right? | comic strip | panel 3 - BRETT: Show me where you read that.; GREG: Here on this blog. Next to that porn ad and the "Top 10 Warez Linkz" thing. | comic strip | panel 4 - BRETT: Mmm. Well, I'll leave you to your rationalizing.; GREG: Bottom line, i-it's not MY fault it's not shut down... right? RIGHT?! |

comic strip | panel 1 - BRETT: Still getting your mp3s from that semi-legal allofmp3.com?; GREG: No, now I found manymanymp3.com. You can get any music you want. You pay nothing. | comic strip | panel 2 - BRETT: Sounds even shadier. Thought you were all concerned with artists getting their fair share.; GREG: Well, you agree to pay later, Brett. If, you know, you like the music. | comic strip | panel 3 - GREG: And if... if the band specifically asks you for the money. | comic strip | panel 4 - GREG: It's... it's teaching musicians to be assertive, really! Th-that's what it's doing!; BRETT: Ever heard the term "slippery slope", Greg? |

comic strip | panel 1 - GREG: I found a new download site: YourFriendFred.com ... This guy Fred sends you whatever mp3s you want. B-but it's legal! See if you run into Fred ever, you buy him a beer. | comic strip | panel 2 - GREG: A-and Fred promises that a PORTION of that beer goes directly to the artist. S-so everyone wins, see? H-ha ha! R-right, Brett? | comic strip | panel 3 - BRETT: Yeah, idiot, if the artist WANTS to be paid in beer, and if "Fred" HAPPENS to run into them in the next 20 minutes.; GREG: It's POSSIBLE. | comic strip | panel 4 - BRETT: Oh SURE! "Why, look who's here at Dempsey's! Kanye West! And the rotting corpse of Johnny Cash!"; GREG: I mean, I ALWAYS see that Fiery Furnaces dude at the bodega.... |

comic strip | panel 1 - GREG: OK, Brett, I found the music site for me: totalabovemp3.com. You can download anything you want. Anything. | comic strip | panel 2 - GREG: There's links to donate to each artist, but if you don't want to... it's totally free.; BRETT: And you don't feel guilty like with the other illegal sites? | comic strip | panel 3 - GREG: Nope. Because next to every song, they list the annual salary of both the musician and the president of the record label. | comic strip | panel 4 - GREG: The truth has set me free, David Geffen!; BRETT: Neat, you can also donate to a fund that raises money to egg the offices of the RIAA.... |
