Dear F.B.I.,
I just wanted to take a second to write you about the band Eighteen Visions\' new release, Obsession (Trustkill Records), which hit stores just a few weeks ago.
I noticed your anti-piracy label (printed enormously on the back of the CD), which clearly states that \"Unauthorized copying is punishable under federal law.\" Now, even though I am the kind of person that would steal almost anything, I just wanted to let you know that you don\'t have to worry about me copying this CD and giving it out to anyone. In fact, if you find anyone that has copied this album, and you confiscate those discs, please send them to me and I will be happy to burn them. Or how about this? If you find anyone that bought this album, please send the disc or the person to me, and I will be happy to burn them. Cool?
I have to be honest, I don\'t think you have to worry about this disc being duplicated. I mean, why would anyone want to burn this CD when they can listen to it on every Clear Channel-owned radio station 24 hours a day, seven days a week? In fact, I\'m almost positive that there are some radio stations out there that have been playing this album on loop for the last six years. Come on, F.B.I.! I think you guys are being kind of silly!
Okay, I just wanted to set the record straight. You know, I wouldn\'t want you kicking down my door, thinking I had done something as horrible as copying music. Cool? We friends now? Great! Now, if you\'ll excuse me, I have to go hold up a federal bank at gunpoint, then kill a baby.
Best,
