Ok, I'll give you a little something to think about. I'll post this to
a seperate message (out of this thread) so that others may enjoy my
thoughts as well.
Have you played Doom? Well, if you have, then have you listened closely
to the music it plays while you are busy bashing demons?
Well, if you listen closely next time you just might notice parts of
a Pantera song that Pantera worked so hard to produce and deserves
to reap some of the bounty that id is getting from it's game that
uses their song. Also, I have played Doom ][. Same thing. Another
Pantera song. Also, I think I heard Alice in Chains "Gonna End Up
A Big Ole Pile of Dem Bones", but can't be sure.
So before we start condeming the pirates for stealing id Doom ][,
let's pose this question to the guys at id. Did they, or did they
not get the permission of the artists to rip off their music?
