Ooh, baby!
This is one of the greatest things I've seen in ages: The Overdub Tampering Committee
These guys claim that they've been tampering with downloads of leaked albums for four years, adding a piano line here and an ambient noise there and re-releasing it through the P2P network under the guise of the real album. Brilliant, no?
Check out the comments on both of their blog posts, it's hilarious! Comments range from positive incredulity to serious hostility. These are the people who aren't getting enough (or any?) sex. Perhaps they've broken their wrists, are tapping the keyboard with their noses and have absolutely no means of release!
Some of them, a guy named Doug in particular, are very cross:
"Bullshit. Proof? Give it or shut the hell up. You are a group of liars, who in their right mind would download music, screw it up and pass it around for no reason at all? … Fucking liars. If there was a large group of people doing this, do you think they would have the technical know-how to maybe even get their own website? You are a bunch of faggots trying to scare people away from sharing music, and it's not going to work. Don't buy into this bullshit."
Grr… No sex in Doug's life! And certainly not with any godamned faggots! He followed up his 'Don't buy into this bullshit' with another comment. Something along the lines of 'Let this die' — if he can't even follow his own advice, why should we?
Then there's this:
"Clearly a hoax. Clearly the work of one person. The insistence on writing in first person plural, as if nine people are sitting around the keyboard at once, it's a dead giveaway. Everything is "we," "our," "us." You're trying too hard, dude."
This person has obviously never read the manifesto for a GROUP of people before, where the use of the first person plural is, in fact, the best way to describe what the group does. Sure, you could use the singular, but that doesn't express the plurality (surely key…) and the third person plural is too detached. In fact, when writing about them, the TPP is what I am using, because I'm not one of them. You see?
I'm enjoying this waaaaay too much.
I have to admit, I'm curious about how much truth is involved, but I stopped just short of death threats and comments on people's sexuality. Actually, I stopped at 'Think for a minute', decided it wasn't that important, and went about writing this.
In fact, it'll probably end up in the next What's Goin' On? in some form or other. It's interesting whether you believe it or not. I love to think it is happening, that I have DL'd some of their handiwork and that I'll never really know for sure…
If only some people weren't such Dougs.
