Unfortunately my first association is the "Glass Walls" ad that was hammered into my brain hundreds of times before I learned to block them.

No, Paul, do you think slaughterhouse employees are even more likely to be vegetarian? Good intentions, but so infuriating.
I'm a carnivore, but I respect reasonable vegetarian/vegans. I'll take a rock star taking a stand like that over Lars attacking music fans because they love music too much.
Don't download this song. Even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong (you can just ask him!)
I remember a study from a few decades ago that said pirates are often spending MORE on media than non-pirates, because they're able to branch out and experiment with more media, then buy the media, instead of sticking to what they know and just buying the same old shit. I don't know how to explain it. But pirates tend to spend more than non-pirates, allegedly. I'll try to find the study.

Lars? Lars Ulrich of Metallica fame? Why would he get mad over fans liking music? When did this happen? The Napster case, while bullshit, at least had something of a leg to stand on but this is just absurd.
I was referring to the Napster case, where Lars fully cemented his reputation as a complete dickhead.
Wow, it was tough to watch that whole video. I hope things have improved since then, although I'm sure in a lot of places they haven't.
Eat less meat and if you do eat meat, pay extra for pasture raised animal products.
Some things get better, others get worse. It's never a bad day to give up animal products.
If you'd like to donate to a group that's fighting for these animals check out thehumaneleague.org.
