Napster of Puppets
by L. Fitzgerald Sjöberg
We are shocked and surprised to learn that there are
people downloading MP3 files of "The Björk Song" over
Napster, treating our music as a commodity rather than
as the dumb song about a more-talented musician that it
is. We wish to see these people treated as they
deserve, which is why we are going to collect the names
of Napster users who are distributing our material,
present the list to Napster, and demand that they be
given candy.
Of course, we don't necessarily trust that justice will
be done, which is why we're going to be taking matters
into our own hands. From June 1st to June 30th, we will
be intermittently collecting the names of people with
"The Björk Song" in their sharable music files. At the
end of this period, we will choose one user randomly
from this list and present this winner with a $100 gift
certificate to CDNow, a Brunching Shuttlecocks T-Shirt,
and of course some candy.
We know that by doing this we risk being labeled
"generous," "thoughtful," even "philanthropic." But
those are the risks we're willing to take to protect
our interest in having our song on every hard drive on
the planet.
