This makes me want to go download a bunch of U2 songs and then move them to the Recycle bin.

Well, Mr. Bono, you don't have to worry about me. I won't be downloading any of your stuff any time soon.

Somehow I don’t think IP is Bono’s primary concern.

Bono,
If you can get my tax money shared with Africa, I don’t give a rat’s a*s about you losing royalty money from downloads. Kumbay-frickin’- ya!

For a guy who basically demands that "rich" nations write off the debt incurred by corrupt African nations, he can certainly afford to write off the few pennies downloading costs him.
Incidently, will he demand royalties from Africans with internet connections?

It's weird how many Marxists, Socialists and Communists are concerned about losing money. Don't they care about all of those "poor" and "oppressed" who won't have any music in their iPods if they can't get the music by downloading it from the internet?

I’m a major bootlegger of his work, but I give all the proceeds to Africa.

Odd how Bono and all of the Hollywood and Birkenstock Bolsheviks have been telling us for years that private property is morally wrong, and then turn around and tell us that THEIR private property is important.

BONEHEAD!
As was Ted Kennedy (who outlived Mary Jo by 20+ years and is STILL dead), BONEHEAD is Irish.
Which reminds me of why God invented whiskey: To prevent the Irish from ruling the world.

Dont want it spread on the internet, get a lawyer, Bono.

Downloading and illegal copying is having a profound negative effect on the music industry. A few days ago I read that the biggest selling CD of 2009 would either be from Taylor Swift or Susan Boyle. Both CDs had around 3,000,000 in sales. That’s nothing compared to sales of the past. I know Britney Spears had an album that sold more than 20,000,000. Sales of around 10,000,000 were common for popular CDs before downloading.
Lots and lots of theft and copyright violation going on.

To some degree he is right. When one creates intellectual property (copyrighted, trademarked or patented works), it should be protected from piracy. After all, he and his band are the ones who created these works; why should every bum under the sun get to profit from it?
However, I think most of the piracy is done because buying the music is not feasible. CDs and the like are way too expensive for most fans (usually college students and other young people with limited financial means). Stop the profiteers yes, but going after young people for sharing and downloading will alienate your fan base. Turn off your fans and before long, you won't have any.
To: Paul46360
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Sharing songs on the internet, for free, is stealing. Making music is no different than making toasters, or tires, or tools. If you walked into a store and walked out without paying for the items you picked up, that is equivalent to stealing music.

Isn’t he about 15 years late to this anti-download party????
With all the dirt cheap music outlets available there ain’t all that many “file sharers” left.
