Bought the new Star Wars soundtrack yesterday, and was greeted with the new FBI Warning they're now plastering all over everything. So instead of being excited at the prospect of a new Star Wars movie (which will hopefully not suck) as I opened the case, my first thought was, "Goddammit!" Just what in the hell do they think these warning are going to do besides piss people off who bought them legitimately? Do they really think that some Chinese bootlegger is going to see the FBI warning and think, "Oh, maybe I shouldn't sell these. I must atone for my sins."? We've been living with those stupid FBI warnings on VHS and DVD movies now for years, and have they had any impact on piracy? I doubt it.
You know, I hear that car theft is a big problem, too. Maybe we should start slapping warning on the steering wheels of all new cars so that we can be reminded that stealing cars is bad. Sales of "The Club" might suffer, but I'm sure that folks would appreciate being able to leave their cars unlocked in New York again.
