Leave it to the Daily Caller to take a tongue-in-cheek joke seriously.

I might have paid for some Al Green downloads but in protest of the Obama administrations attack on file sharing sites I think I'll just go ahead and find a torrent. Thanks, Barry!

Wait, so you're going to protest their attack on piracy...by promoting piracy?

His knee jerk hatred of Obama has forced him to start a life of criminality.

Well I'm certainly not going to protest their attack on piracy (and LEGAL uses of sites like megaupload) by buying all my friends iTunes gift cards. That wouldn't be much of a protest, would it?

No, but a better protest would be...I don't know..not do anything?

Don't buy the song. But give them ammunition for trying to put shiat like SOPA and PIPA on the books by going out and pirating the song. Neither of them are constructive.

And as for Megaupload, yeah it had it's legal uses, but they were profiting on active piracy with no desire to curb the illegal use of their site, which is why they got shut down.

You do realize that my comment (and probably Rev. Al's) was a joke, right? RIGHT?

Al's yeah, but you know the thing about internets and sarcasm detectors.

Especially since that sounded like a real thing someone would actually do.

Wow, he really nailed it. I'm surprised the podium wasn't pelted with women's undergarments.

Karaoke? I knew it -- even when he's singing Obama needs a TelePrompTer!

Well based on that logic the cast of Glee should be our next President in order to turn the whole economy around.

To everyone but Al Green... he sold 12,000 more downloads in the last week than normal. How do I get the President to do impromptu covers of my songs? Oh, yeah, first I have to WRITE THEM.

/j/k... many written
//Mostly just happy for Al Green

Now if only Obama had sung Fat Bottom Girls - a song which ought to resonate within the broader populace - leading to a veritable stampede towards Queen songs. Not only would Obama be stimulating the economy, he would be improving our health by increasing the number of mouse clicks that fatties make on a daily basis...

That sounded exactly like the MO for a pirate, actually. They often use anti-piracy measures as a justification for further piracy.

I was just surprised that he has a nice singing voice. I mean, he's got a nice speaking voice, but you don't really think of a president singing.

You just know ASCAP called the venue and demanded licensing fees for this.

I didn't even recognize Sharpton until I read the article. He looks so much different since he got skinny

And that, he said, boosted the economy, which is something Republicans should be weary of come November.
ayup, that kind of PR BS would tend to be tiresome.

I don't think Sharpton was joking. He sounded serious to me.
