From Napster to the RIAA
Sung to the Tune of "All I really Want"
By the lovely, talented and beautiful Alanis Morissette - Who I someday
hope to marry!

Do I burn the networks out
My protocals are backwards and the open source is out
And you say how dare you?
I don't want to put the RIAA out of business today
I don't mean to make it obsolute you see
But I can't help it
There they go binging on songs before the court order has taken effect
Slap me with the copy right infrigment
And it would cause me to lose money, if we were making some already
If only I could use the VCR precidences

And all I really want is new copyright laws
A way to calm the angry musicans
And all i really want is bandwidth

Do I wear your modem out
You must wonder why I'm relentless and my users are all strung out
I'm comsumed by a Terabytes of MP3's
I'm like a pirate
I like to copy the music and then trade it about
I'm frustrated by your hatred for me
And I frighten you by the way I've corrupted music listeners
If only I could meet the artists
And I'm fascinated by the MP3 compression scheme
I am humbled by these transfer speeds

What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to trade songs with
And what I wouldn't give to win the court cases

Enough about MP3's, let's talk about the RIAA for a minute
Enough about the RIAA, let's talk about the Internet for a while
The servers, the technology and the sound of digital music
Copying all around... all around

Why are you so petrified of advancment
Here can you handle Gnutella?
Do you worry about your Artists, your contracts, your deadlines
Or when you think the RIAA is going to die?
Or did you long for the next lawsuit
And all I need now is intellectual property
A suit to make the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of download time other than it is flying
If only I could sue the suer

And all I really want is some acceptance
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a sound wave
All I really want is some good lawyers
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice
