Published on Nov 1st, 2005

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?! |

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!
